Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a part of the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and has been practised safely in humans and animals for wellness, pain management and treatment for a variety of chronic ailments.

Acupuncture involves stimulating the acupoints using very fine sterilised needles, which result in the release of “happy hormones” like beta-endorphins, serotonin and other neurotransmitters into the body. This stimulates the body’s natural healing abilities, improves blood circulation, nerve stimulation, provides pain relief and improves mental wellbeing. 

TCM and Western medicine come from two vastly different schools of thoughts with different treatment philosophies. They each have their benefits and limitations. In our experience, TCM and Western medicine work well together and produce the best results when they are integrated and complement each other.
