Acupuncture

Acupuncture, which has been in continuous use for more than 3,000 years, and is a popular healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  It involves inserting slender needles into specific points on the body along channels, or meridians , under the skin.  This treatment helps the body regain its healthy state of balance.

Traditionally, it is believed that stimulating these points with needles or massage promotes the circulation of Blood and Vital Energy along the channels called Chee.  When it is lacking, we become run down, fatigued and prone to infections.  The channels are also connected to all the internal organs.  Once again, stimulating certain acupuncture points has an effect on the functioning of specific organs.

Many mechanisms are brought into play by using acupuncture needles including increased nerve activity, blood flow changes and release of hormones and pain relieving substances such as endorphins.

We also offer laser Acupuncture which doesn’t involve the use of needles.
