WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is a form of Chinese Medicine dating back over 2000 years. Fine needles are inserted into specific points linked along ‘channels' or ‘meridians’  on the body where Qi (‘chee’) flows.  Qi is your body’s vital energy and by regulating its flow, it helps to maintain your body’s equilibrium making acupuncture an effective therapy for restoring well being.
