Acupuncture has been used for over 3000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has impressive effects on patients.

Very fine needles are inserted at various locations on the body. These sterile needles are disposable and only used once. Points are picked according to patient presentation including symptoms, history, pulses, colour of tongue and face. Once this information is obtained a diagnosis is made and an appropriate treatment is given.
