Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
......the time-tested therapy that has been practiced in the Far East for thousands of years. The philosophy behind the treatment is that energy lines or meridians circulate around the body. These meridians contain our energy flow or "qi" (pronounced "chi"). It is when this qi is impaired through the body that imbalance and illness occurs. With the insertion of fine needles at various points on the meridian, the energy can be moved or redirected to where it is needed most. In this way the body's balance can be restored and the illness resolved.
The flow of energy can be disrupted in many ways: emotional upset, physical trauma, poor diet or overwork are all common examples. By examining this underlying cause and how it has affected the body, the most appropriate treatment for the patient can be selected.
Western medicine has different opinions on how acupuncture works but in short, no one is really sure. However, trial after trial consistently proves its effectiveness.
Acupuncture also includes other techniques such as cupping, moxibustion or acupressure.
Children - low level laser therapy instead of needles
Low level laser therapy is used with children instead of needles as they respond really well to these treatments without the fear of having a needle inserted in them.
