Let the power that made the body, heal the body.
Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body that have high concentrations of nerve endings, triggering biochemical and physiological changes in the body.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, there are meridians that run along the body, and inside them energy (Qi) flows. This energy can become blocked or stagnant, causing an imbalance of Yin + Yang, and this is when illnesses and disharmonies can arise.
Acupuncture is recommended by the NICE guidelines to relieve chronic pain, including migraine, IBS and musculo-skeletal pain.
Depending on the condition we utilise Acupuncture, Moxa, Dry needling or Trigger Point therapy to best relieve the pain.
Research into acupuncture for pain has shown that needling affects the cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of naturally occurring opiate substances in the body which include dynorphin, endorphin, and encephalin.
The latter two in particular are strong blockers or modulators of pain that is arising in the musculoskeletal system.
Stress, anxiety & depression can take on varying forms for individuals throughout our lives.
Acupuncture is recommended by the World Health Organisation for a wide range of conditions, including neurological disorders, anxiety and sleep.
In Chinese Medicine we see each case individually, combining the individual’s experiences of stress, anxiety, or depression with Chinese Medicine knowledge.
