What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points on your body, called acupoints, to balance the flow of energy—or Qi (chee).
Here’s a quick rundown:
- Qi Flow: Think of it as water in a river. When it flows smoothly, you feel great. When it stalls or diverts, discomfort shows up.
- Acupoints: Over 360 points mapped out across your body. Each one connects to an organ or system.
- Needle Technique: Our licensed acupuncturists use sterilised, single-use needles. You may feel a gentle tingle or warmth.
Modern research suggests acupuncture can trigger the release of endorphins, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow. That’s big for anyone battling chronic pain, stress, or fatigue.
