Acupuncture
Acupuncture dates back many years to traditional and natural Chinese medicine. It involves the use of very thin needles placed at particular points on the body in order to alleviate pain and treat various health conditions. This is a painless and effective treatment option that is a preference amongst many of our patients, once they’ve tried it. Research suggests that acupuncture helps to reset the pain control centres in our brain by releasing endorphins (the body’s feel good molecules) and improves circulation to allow the body to self-heal. Our therapists are trained in both traditional Chinese and western contemporary acupuncture.
