Unlocking Wellness: Acupuncture for Holistic Healing
Acupuncture is a system of medical care that originated in China thousands of years ago. It is one of the most universally recognised components of Chinese medicine and has since become widely used in health care systems throughout the world.
It is based on the premise that a blockage or disturbance in the flow of the body's life energy, or “qi,” can cause health issues. Acupuncturists insert hair-thin needles to specific acupuncture points throughout the body to restore the flow of qi, balance the body’s energy, stimulate healing, and promoting relaxation.
​
Acupuncture treats physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual problems including:
Pain Relief, Anxiety & Depression, Sinusitis, Headache & Migraine, Infertility, Digestive complaints, Stress, Skin conditions and more.
​
Acupuncture is also an excellent treatment for preventative care and has wonderful health and wellness benefits to keep you healthy.
Our board-certified acupuncturists determine each individual patient’s needs and then create a customised plan while being mindful of where Western medicine would be useful as well.
