Acupuncture
Traditional Eastern Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China over 3,000 years ago and is one of the oldest systems of healing in the world. It differs from the medical needling that is often done by physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors which focuses mainly on relieving musculoskeletal issues.
Traditional Acupuncture is believed to work holistically, bringing the body, mind and emotions into balance and restoring health and vitality. It is a treatment which seeks to understand and address the root cause of any imbalances or disease, as well as helping to resolve any symptoms. As such it can be used in treatments for a wide range of complaints including rehabilitation, digestive problems, anxiety and depression and hormonal issues to name a few. It is a complementary form of treatment, meaning that it can be safely used alongside conventional medical modalities.
