Overview

Does Acupuncture hurt?

Surprisingly, although needles are used in Acupuncture, treatments are relatively pain-free. In fact, one of the most popular uses of Acupuncture is to reduce chronic pain throughout the body in a natural way, without the need for medications that can cause unwanted side effects.

How does Acupuncture affect the body?

Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Is Acupuncture safe and how many treatments session will I need?

We use disposable, sterile, non-toxic, and labelled for single use needles only. An individualised treatment plan that includes the expected number of treatment sessions will be discussed during your initial visit.
