Acupuncture
Restoring Balance & Enhancing Wellness in the North West
How it Works
From a modern, Western perspective, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, triggering the release of endorphins and other natural chemicals in the body. This process reduces pain and inflammation while promoting relaxation and healing. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, or stress-related conditions, acupuncture offers a safe and natural alternative to conventional treatments.
Benefits

✓ Improves digestion and can alleviate gastrointestinal issues like IBS
✓ Supports mental clarity, energy levels, and overall emotional well-being
✓ Aids in recovery after surgery or injury by reducing muscle tension and stiffness
✓ Contributes to healthier skin by improving circulation and reducing signs of ageing
History
What to Expect
A typical session lasts between 45 to 90 minutes. You will lie comfortably on a treatment table while an experienced practitioner carefully inserts ultra-fine needles at targeted acupuncture points. Many patients report feeling only a slight pinch or tingling sensation during needle insertion. For those with needle phobias, rest assured that the needles are extremely thin and the procedure is designed to minimise any discomfort.
During the treatment, you may experience deep relaxation as the stimulation of specific points helps to release tension throughout the body. In some cases, you might feel a warming sensation or mild tingling. Once the needles are removed, you can resume your day with little to no downtime.
Treatment Cycle & Side Effects
Potential side effects are minimal. Some patients might experience slight soreness or temporary bruising at the needle insertion sites. These effects are usually short-lived and resolve within a few hours. Our practitioners take every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety during each session.
