Conditions Treated

Acupuncture is a unique therapy within Traditional East Asian Medicine in which very thin, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body to support healing and regulate physiological function.

Acupuncture has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation by improving blood flow and stimulating the release of natural pain-relieving neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.

Studies also demonstrate that acupuncture activates the parasympathetic response, or “rest and digest” response within the brain during treatment. This is the opposite of the 'fight or flight' response, and can explain how acupuncture can have a sedative, relaxing effect and improve digestion and sleep.

By calming the nervous system, acupuncture can help regulate the body’s stress response, improve metabolism and hormone levels, and improve overall wellbeing, treating many different conditions including:
