Acupuncture
-
Acupuncture is a system of healing which has been practised with great effect for thousands of years. Our health is dependent on the smooth, uninterrupted flow of subtle energy that runs through inter-connecting channels in the body.
The flow of energy can be disturbed by stress, anxiety, poor nutrition, infections or trauma. Acupuncture addresses the symptoms as well as the underlying cause.
Acupuncture can treat a very broad range of conditions, from the physical to the mental-emotional.
One of the main benefits of treatment is that there is often more to be gained than just relief from a particular condition.
Many people find their energy levels increase and they feel more in tune with themselves.

It can be helpful with low back pain, fibromyalgia, musculo-skeletal pain.
