Acupuncture stimulates the flow of Qi energy that in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is considered essential to health and optimal wellbeing. When the body is in healthy vitality, Qi flows smoothly through the meridians that make up the conceptual network of pathways through the body. When Qi is obstructed or deficient or out of balance, the body cannot function at its best.

Acupuncture can be used as a treatment option for both symptom relief, as in pain, muscular or nerve injury as well as for system wellbeing as in cases for fertility care or anxiety. In western medicine the yin/yang balance acupuncture aims to achieve is known as homeostasis.

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment option which stimulates endorphins and encourages healing both locally and systemically.

Therapeutic effects include but are not limited to:

Pain relief
Increased energy
Improved mood
Improved sleep
Reduced anxiety
