Acupuncture

Acupuncture (the insertion of very fine needles to promote the flow of energy within the body) is a balancing technique purported to restore the body to optimal health. The acupuncture needles used in our clinic are all sterile and disposable

Chinese Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine takes advantage of the natural properties and flavours of medicinal substances to restore and balance the body's energy. For over 5000 years, it has played an important role in preventing and treating disease as well as improving health in general

Addition Therapies

Electro-Therapies

Electro-acupuncture simply uses a machine to introduce a gentle electric current to an inserted needle. The current acts to stimulate the needle and, as such, can have a stronger effect on improving blood flow and reducing pain than the needle alone.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy where the herb Artemisia (mugwort) is used to heat the surface of the body or a needle. The herb penetrating power is the reason it has such strong therapeutic properties for relieving pain.

Cupping Therapy 

Cupping therapy involves the use of either glass or plastic cups in which a vacuum is introduced that produces suction at the site causing the skin to be sucked into the cup. The cups can be left stationary, or they can be slid across the body. Both techniques are extremely comfortable and have a massage like quality. If the individual has significant circulatory blockage, it is not unusual for the cups to leave red or purple marks at the site. These marks are completely normal and are part of the healing process. They usually disappear within a few days.
