Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used in China for over 4000 years and still provides popular treatment in China and the world today. It includes natural herbal treatments, acupuncture, Chinese and tuina massage. Methods work by balancing the Yin and the Yang, regulating the flow of energy in the channels and harmonizing the function of the different organs.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting sterile thin needles into specific points on the body. The primary aim is to balance the body’s energy, known as “qi” (pronounced “chee”), which is believed to flow through pathways called meridians. By stimulating these points, acupuncture is thought to promote natural healing and improve bodily functions.

The treatment is used for a variety of purposes, including pain relief, treatment of various physical conditions, and promoting overall wellness. Modern research suggests that acupuncture may trigger the release of endorphins, improve blood circulation, and stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, and stress-related ailments.

Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by our highly qualified chinese medicine doctor with over 20 year of experience, practicing with sterile needles. However, we can help ensure you receive the best possible treatment.
