Traditional acupuncture is a gentle yet effective, ancient system of medicine that originated in China over 2000 years ago. It is a safe treatment for all. It continues to develop and evolve in our modern world and is widely used in main-stream and private health services in many countries today. Acupuncture can effectively treat almost the entire spectrum of illness – physical, psychological, acute and chronic. Good health is not just the absence of pain or disease: Chinese Medicine understands that we are part of the natural environment and that illness is a disturbance of the ecosystem of the body. Pain and illness occur when the body’s Qi (or vital energy) stops flowing freely or becomes unbalanced. Acupuncture works to restore the body’s equilibrium (restore the free-flow of Qi) improving overall well-being as well as treating symptoms and their underlying cause. It can be used alongside conventional medicine and is also helpful as a preventative measure to strengthen the constitution. People who come for acupuncture almost always report feeling better in themselves.
