to other treatments
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage
natural healing, reduce or relieve pain, and improve function of
affected areas of the body. Acupuncture is safe and effective and
is often successfully used as an alternative to medications or even
surgery. Relief is often obtained when traditional Western medical
therapy has failed. In treating any illness or affliction, a correct
diagnosis is important before any decisions are made regarding therapy.
Once the diagnosis is established, a qualified practitioner can
advise whether Acupuncture is appropriate.
What to expect during a treatment?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles though the
skin and tissues at specific points on the body. There is no injection
of any substance and the treatment itself causes minimal discomfort.
Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce it’s
own pain relieving chemicals called ‘endorphins.’ Endorphins help
to block pathways that relay pain messages from the body to the
brain, resulting in relief of pain, general relaxation and biochemical
regulation of the body’s own internal systems.
