Acupuncture is part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine and is used to treat health ailments and body imbalances. We use acupuncture for pain relief and to help relax the tissues.

 

It involves the insertion of fine needles into the skin at specific points called meridian points. The number of the needles used depends on how acute or chronic/ complex your problem is, and needles can be used around or away from the symptomatic area or even on the opposite side.

 

We will ask you several questions to make sure that acupuncture is indicated for you. Upon application you might experience a sharp sensation but that goes away quickly; as a whole, acupuncture is not a painful treatment.

 

You might experience some other sensations like ache, tingling, heaviness, numbness and people tend to report feeling very relaxed or invigorated after the treatment. The number of sessions depends on how complex the problem is and how your body responds to the treatment.
