Acupuncture is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and over the past 2500 years medical scholars have contributed to the development and refinement of this art. Our modern day medical scholars are continuing this development and research.

Acupuncture is now an international medicine and has become a vibrant component of our healthcare system.

TCM considers important certain aspects of the human body and personality that are not significant to western medicine. It also takes into account the effects our emotions can have on our bodies and general well-being.

How is it different from Orthodox medicine?
Acupuncture looks at the body systems, body fluids, and organs etc, in an entirely different way to orthodox medicine. Acupuncture also uses diagnostic tools that would not be recognised in orthodox terms i.e. tongue and pulse diagnosis.

What can acupuncture do for me?
Acupuncture can treat, manage, alleviate and/or help most health problems. For certain health problems it may be the most beneficial treatment available. In other circumstances Acupuncture may be best used to assist other medical practices.
