ACUPUNCTURE
TRADITIONAL HEALING IN THE MODERN WORLD
Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It has a very positive model of good health and function, and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment is to restore the body's equilibrium.

The focus is on the individual, not their illness, and all the symptoms are seen in relation to each other.
Traditional acupuncturists believe that the underlying principle of treatment is that illness and pain occur when the body's qi, or vital energy, cannot flow freely. There can be many reasons for this; emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection or injury are among the most common.
By inserting ultra-fine sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncturist seeks to re-establish the free flow of qi to restore balance and trigger the body's natural healing response.
Traditional acupuncture is growing in popularity and acceptance and may well promote yet more new and exciting variations on the ancient themes. A growing body of evidence-based clinical research shows that traditional acupuncture safely treats a wide range of common health problems.
