Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles on the body's surface in order to influence the physiological functioning of the body.

Acupuncture effectively treats many conditions including:

Back pain
Migraines
Menstrual problems
Low energy levels
Overwhelming emotions (such as apathy, anger or depression)
Non specific aches and pains

The benefits of acupuncture frequently include more than just relief from a particular condition. Many people find that it can also lead to increased energy levels, better appetite and sleep as well as an enhanced sense of overall well being.

As with osteopathic treatment, your first acupuncture consultation may be longer than subsequent sessions. The acupuncturist needs to assess your general state of health, in order to identify the underlying pattern of disharmony and give you the most effective treatment. If a specific condition is being treated, then usually a short course of weekly sessions is recommended. However, there are no hard and fast rules. Some people like to take monthly “top-up” sessions in order to keep their immune system at its peak and their stress levels at bay.

Please note that this service requires a dedicated room where the practitioner can set up a full-length treatment table.
