Acupuncture takes a holistic approach to understanding both normal body function and disease processes. It focuses as much on the prevention of illness as on the treatment.
Officially recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), acupuncture is a practice whereby very fine sterilised needles are inserted into specific points on the body’s surface in order to stimulate the neurological, hormonal, and immune systems, inducing a biological, energetic response intended to restore health and relieve pain.
Acupuncture is part of an integrated system of primary health care, known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that has an uninterrupted history of development dating back thousands of years in China and other parts of East Asia. Its’ origins in China can be traced back at least 3000 years, making it one of the oldest and most long-standing health care systems in the world.
Today, acupuncture is an effective, natural and increasingly popular form of health care that is being used by people from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds.
