How does a Community Acupuncture Clinic work?
How we help you
Treatments Available
Acupuncture
Acupuncture places very fine needles at particular points on your body, with the intention of improving your health. When a needle is placed in an acupuncture point, it makes a ‘suggestion’ to your body, encouraging your body’s own tendency to heal itself and restore harmony. Traditional acupuncture treats the person rather than the illness and your unique patterns will be assessed and taken in to account when the points are chosen. For example, two patients both suffering from lower back pain may have different points needled, as their underlying causes of disease may vary.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu uses the principles of Western and Eastern Medicine to work through each part of your body with gentle yet firm gravitational pressure. This helps to clear pain, restore function, and correct posture. When you receive a treatment, you remain fully clothed and lay on a large comfortable futon mat. Shiatsu eases your body into the way you most want to feel – peaceful, balanced, nourished.
