About Acupuncture
Acupuncture is based on Chinese Medicine principles that have been developed and refined for over 2000 years. Acupuncture treats the whole person and balances our physical, emotional and spiritual energies to restore good health. According to traditional Chinese philosophy, the smooth flow of our vital energy can be disturbed by many factors including, physical and emotional stress, infections, injury, poor nutrition and environmental factors. When the flow of our vital energy is disturbed, ill health or pain may result.
Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles, inserted into specific
points on the body to balance the energy flow.
Good Health is not just the absence of pain or disease.
Many people come to acupuncture for help with a specific symptom, pain or condition. Some use acupuncture because they feel generally unwell but their doctor can find no obvious diagnosis. Others choose it to help maintain good health or just to improve their sense of well being.
Acupuncture is often thought of as a means of pain relief; it can in fact treat a wide range of conditions. The Advertising Standards Agency no longer allow Acupuncturists to list the conditions that acupuncture can be used to treat. Please contact Jane or Eileen to discuss if acupuncture is appropriate for you.

Unlike conventional medicine, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture aims to treat the whole person not symptoms in isolation, treatment is aimed at the root cause. It can therefore be effective for a wide range of conditions and can be used alongside conventional medicine.
