Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which originated in China over 5,000 years ago.

This science and art of healing has become widely accepted in the western world over the past three decades. It has now been established as a profession in Australia and has been proved safe and effective.

Acupuncture has the following major benefits:

• drug-free pain relief
• assists prevention of disease
• treats the cause as well as symptoms
• is an holistic approach to health, linking body, mind, and emotions

According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is essential for the body's energy, as well as the blood, to circulate in a continuous and unobstructed manner. The pathways through which the energy flows are called meridians, and these circulate through the organs and tissues of the body. If the energy is blocked or deficient, pain or illness will occur.

The energy which flows along the meridians is called Qi or Chi. There are over 500 acupuncture points which are located along the energy meridians. By stimulating these points with very fine needles, the quality and quantity of energy can be harmonised.
