What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a treatment that has been utilised for many thousands of years. Acupuncture looks to restore and maintain health through the stimulation of acupoints on the body, utilising sterile, fine needles.

How does Acupuncture work?

The aim of acupuncture is to reach and sustain balance within the body. One way of looking at is that our central nervous system, which is linked with our endocrine system, transmits signals, and biochemicals throughout our bodies. Acupuncture stimulates these signals, which may at times become blocked or restricted as a result of injury, illness, or stress, and restore their normal frequency.

Does Acupuncture hurt?

No, it is painless although a dull ache or sharp sensation may be experienced for a few moments by some.
