Acupuncture
The Process
The acupuncture practice is rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy, which understands the body as being interconnected by a network of energy channels. These channels support the flow of qi (vital energy) through the organs and systems of the body. When the flow is blocked or disrupted, it can lead to discomfort or illness.
You can think of it like a fallen tree blocking a river. In order for the water to move freely again, the tree needs to be cleared. In the same way, acupuncture helps remove blockages so energy can flow smoothly, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Feel Good With Us
By restoring the energy flow and thus clearing the meridian pathways, acupuncture calms the energy and allows for the smooth release of pathways in the body. Acupuncture can assist in a number of physical and emotional health conditions such as:
- Muscle & structural pain and injury
- Insomnia
- Headaches
- Fertility / Infertility
- Pregnancy
- Stress
- Weight loss
- Gut and nutritional issues
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Menopause
Your acupuncturist will begin with an in-depth consultation to learn about your medical history and health concerns. They will be able to create a personalized treatment plan to improve the areas of your life that need support. Along with acupuncture treatments, this may include nutritional advice, lifestyle adjustments, exercises, herbal supplements and mindfulness techniques.
