Acupuncture Treatments
Chinese Acupuncture uses safe, disposable and sterile one-use needles to stimulate energy (Qi) at over 600 points along twelve main channels and eight secondary channels. When the energy in these channels becomes unbalanced, the body is unable to perform to its maximum capability. By needling points selected specifically for your imbalance, acupuncture realigns the energy to alleviate pain and restore vitality.
A detailed health assessment is conducted to reach a holistic diagnosis. A tailored treatment is then performed incorporating various Chinese medicinal techniques such as the burning of moxa, electro acupuncture and Chinese cupping.
Acupuncture is effective for the treatment of many conditions including;
- Pain Reduction
For example: headaches, arthritis back pain, shoulder pain and other injuries. - Loss of Function
For example: hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, urinary tract infections, respiratory disorders. - Stress
For example: emotional and mental disharmony, sleep disorders, high blood pressure.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is the process of burning the herb Mugwort leaf which releases a deep penetrating heat that acts to relax muscles, tonify and promote healing.
Electro Acupuncture
A fine electrical pulsation may be applied to some of the points to increase stimulation. This technique is used primarily for pain relief.
Chinese Cupping
A partial vacuum is created when cups are placed on the skin to draw up the underlying tissues causing the tissues to release toxins, this stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems and relaxes the muscles.
Laser acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is a great alternative for those who have considered traditional acupuncture but are apprehensive at the thought of the needles. Points used are selected specifically according to your individual needs and are stimulated via a low level infra-red laser to stimulate healing at a cellular level. Laser is fantastic for cell regeneration, pain relief and increasing immunity. Offering all the healing benefits of traditional acupuncture without the needles.
