Acupuncture

Acupuncture uses very small needles inserted into specific areas of the body, to stimulate, regulate and direct the body’s own energy flow to harmonise and heal. A course of treatments is usually required for full recovery.

Styles of Acupuncture

We offer various styles of acupuncture;

  • Auricular acupuncture uses points within the ear lobe to treat the whole body. Research shows it is particularly beneficial in the treatment of  depression/stress/anxiety, addicition therapy and weight control.
  • Battlefield or ‘The Nada Protocol’ is a style of auricular treatment developed quite literally on the battlefield to help reduce certain types of pain and can give swift results
  • The Balance technique allows for needles to be inserted away from the problem area, whilst balancing the body as a whole.
  • Traditional Chinese Medicinal Acupuncture, uses systems developed over thousands of years of practice and can be used to treat most modern health complaints.
  • The World Health Organisation has published a list of diseases and conditions it believes can be treated effectively by Acupuncture based on current research.
