Fine acupuncture needles are inserted into acupuncture points of the body to stimulate the local site and to send signals to the brain and internal organs via the meridian system. This results in a restoration of balance. The meridians, like nerves, are an interconnected pathway that allows the body to communicate with itself and facilitates healing.

At your first treatment we will spend time with you to assess your specific condition. At this time we will design a treatment plan that works for you and take into account your time and financial circumstances. Conditions respond depending on such things as duration of you condition and your state of health.

Your following treatment will give us a guide as to how you are responding, with treatment plans being continually updated.
