How Acupuncture can help

 

Western medical acupuncture utilises meridian points but applies it to Western scientific reasoning with particular consideration to neurophysiology and anatomy. Western Acupuncture is used by physiotherapists to achieve results via the stimulation of the nervous system, such as the brain and spinal cord to produce neuro-chemicals, such as endorphins, melatonin and serotonin. These neuro-chemicals assist the body's healing process to improve mind and body wellbeing.

Acupuncture points that stimulate nerve endings will help to increase the blood circulation, balance hormones and promote positive outcomes.

The needles used are disposable, single use, pre-sterilised needles of varying widths and lengths. A number of needles may be used at each treatment and these are typically left in position for up to 30 minutes before being removed depending on the response required. A needle is manipulated until a QI sensation is felt (a tingling or often warm heavy sensation that can spread away from the area of the needle).
