Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is based on ancient healthcare principles that date back nearly two thousand years. Acupuncture aims to restore equilibrium to the body when it has become out of balance, which can manifest as pain and illness. Acupuncturists insert extremely thin sterile needles into specific acupuncture points with the aim of restoring the free flow of the body's energy ('qi') and therefore restoring balance and triggering the body's natural healing response.
