How it Works
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine which involves the insertion of tiny needles into the body at key points, known as acupuncture points.
This stimulates sensory nerves under the skin and muscles, resulting in the release of feel-good endorphins. It may induce sensations of relaxation, calmness and relief from pain and tension.
Traditional acupuncture therapists who base their practice on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), believe that the therapy helps to restore energy throughout the body, which in turn can help to restore health and wellbeing.
