What is acupuncture?
Medical acupuncture is a modern adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture, grounded in current medical knowledge and clinical research. It involves the precise insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This helps promote natural healing, relieve pain, and improve physical and emotional wellbeing. While it draws from ancient principles, medical acupuncture focuses on evidence-based outcomes, offering a safe, effective, and scientifically informed approach to supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

What does the process involve?

The course duration depends on symptoms but would often involve 4-6 weekly sessions with many people seeing improvements after 2-3 sessions.
