The World Health Organization (WHO) has listed over 60 conditions which acupuncture has been shown to have a therapeutic effect.
Acupuncture is in the insertion of fine needles into a variety of points located on the body surface. The needles are inserted at various depths, from just under the skins surface, up to 60cm depending on the local anatomy. Needles are retained from 10 minutes to 30minutes.
Acupuncture works on the concept of meridians, pathways that traverse the interior and exterior of the body. Within the meridians flows Qi (pronounces ‘chee’), energy or vital force. When there is an imbalance of the Qi illness occurs. Acupuncture works to restore and maintain the balance and flow of Qi.
Research has shown that acupuncture works to stimulate one of several responses, working on the peripheral and central nervous systems, triggering a cascade of events to release peptides and hormones, to encourage the body’s natural healing abilities.
