WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE & TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) ?
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a primary system of medicine that has developed over thousands of years. Its aim is to restore balance and harmony to the body proven effective for acute and chronic health conditions, musculoskeletal disorders and a wide range of conditions listed by the World Health Organization. Acupuncture and TCM works by boosting the body's own self healing mechanism to reduce pain and inflammation, balancing hormones and regulating immune function to maintain optimum health.
HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE WORK?
Acupuncture involves stimulation of specific acupoints in the body and is performed with ultra fine, single use sterilised needles which are placed in specific points around the body using the body's natural energy (Qi) to unblock and regulate neurological and chemical pathways (TCM meridians) creating a feeling of relaxation, promoting repair, balance and wellness.
WHAT HAPPENS AT A TYPICAL CONSULTATION?
At your initial consultation you will be warmly welcomed and asked about current/past health conditions and concerns, diet, lifestyle and other relevant information. After a short examination an individualised treatment plan is worked out. Ultrafine, painless, sterile needles are inserted for approximately 20 minutes. Most clients feel extremely relaxed often falling asleep during the treatment.
