Medical Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medical treatment available. This method of treatment is chosen to relieve pain and tension in the body using the insertion and manipulation of needles. The needles are inserted into specific points of the body known as Acupuncture points which induces chemical and the transmission of electrical impulses along the nerves.

Acupuncture can be used to reduce pain and physical discomfort and emotional stress by correcting the bodies imbalances in Qi and also promote the production of the bodies natural pain relieving hormones such as serotonin therefore reducing stress and pain levels.
