About Acupuncture

How does Acupuncture work?

The popularity of acupuncture goes hand in hand with people wanting to take responsibility for their own health and not rely on medication.

Acupuncture therapy involves the strategic insertion of needles to help bring about a physical, emotional and spiritual change to the well-being of a patient and has been practised successfully for over 3,000 years. It has been developed, tested, researched and refined over this time into a treatment option accessed by increasing numbers of patients in the West. Research shows Acupuncture works!

The Benefits of Acupuncture

Stress, lifestyle and injury can unbalance the body's natural harmony leading to physical and/or emotional symptoms. Five Element Acupuncture treats the individual holistically whilst taking into account all signs of imbalance within the body.

It works on the whole person addressing symptoms at the root. This is what makes Five Element Acupuncture particularly effective when dealing with a wide range of illnesses and multi-system conditions.

Acupuncture is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve chronic pain, balance mood and improve overall health and wellness.

Many people have acupuncture to relieve specific aches and pains such as osteoarthritis, headaches and back pain, or for common health problems like insomnia, fatigue or mental health issues, including anxiety and depression. Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their bodily functions are out of balance but have no obvious western medical diagnosis leading to western medical treatment. Many also have regular treatments simply because they find it beneficial and relaxing.
