Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used in the Far East to restore, promote and maintain good health for over 2,500 years. It used as a means of pain relief and has been shown to be very successful in the treatment of backache, joint problems, tennis elbow, and migraines.

What does it feel like?

Acupuncture needles bear little resemblance to the needles used in injections- they are much finer and solid, not hollow. When a needle is inserted, the sensation is often described as a tingling or dull ache. Needles may be inserted and immediately removed, or may be left in place for thirty minutes or more, depending on the effect required. During treatment, patients commonly experience a heaviness in the limbs or a pleasant feeling of relaxation.

Benefits of Acupuncture

The benefits of acupuncture frequently include more than just relief from a particular condition. Many people find that it can also lead to increased energy levels, as well as better appetite and sleep, and an enhanced sense of overall wellbeing.
