Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a unique form of Chinese medicine. The ancient Chinese believed that there is a system of energy called ‘Qi’ (or ‘Chi’) that flows freely through channels or meridians within the body. Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities - Yin and Yang - and when these become unbalanced, illness may result. Acupuncture involves the insertion of a few very fine needles into specific points along the channels. It stimulates the body’s own healing power and helps restore its natural balance. Many scientific researches have confirmed that acupuncture works for many conditions, such as pain and arthritis (please see the other side of this leaflet for a list of conditions) Some people may be a little apprehensive prior to their first treatment. They are usually surprised that acupuncture is generally painless, although they may often experience a mild tingling-like sensation during treatment. Pre-sterilised disposable needles are used and safely discarded after each use. Acupuncture has been proved to be effective for relief of tension type headaches, migraine headache, chronic low back pain, acute or chronic neck pain, temporomandibular (TMD/TMJ) pain and as an adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain. It can improve the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome (through electro-acupuncture at the SP6 point). In General, you will feel revitalised, more positive and relaxed after acupuncture. Scientific research has provided large amount of evidence that acupuncture can treat many common ailments. For more information, please just contact us.
