Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine. The earliest acupuncture books were written over two thousand years ago and today, worldwide, there are over three million practitioners.

Acupuncture is a natural, drug free therapeutic treatment for health and wellness, involving the insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body.

Acupuncture can focus on pain relief and restore the body's natural balance.  Through a personalised approach, practitioners listen to the patient and tailor treatments to their individual needs.
