Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient practice of healing dating back over 2500 years. In a healthy state, an abundant supply of Qi (vital energy) runs through our body.
Acupuncture stimulates very specific points of the body in order to release energy blockages and to encourage the healthy flow of Qi.
By stimulating these points, acupuncture has the ability to modify the biochemical and physiological conditions of your body, in order to achieve a balance.
Many benefits can result from regular acupuncture treatments.
