Eastern Acupuncture

is applied to Acupoints (‘tsubos’) in the same way as Acupressure but with hair fine needles – along meridian pathways which link to essential bodily functions such as circulation, waste disposal and pain response. It is believed that the body’s vital energy flows down these pathways and when it does not flow properly illness and pain occur. Please wear loose clothing to your treatment and eat lightly prior to your visit.

Our Acupuncturists apply the very fine needles (7 of them could fit in a hyperdermic needle!) in the areas that research has supported treat the range of conditions above. Using their expanse of knowledge they will continue to treat you based on your needs and response; leaving needles in for a period of time or removing them immediately depending on your needs. The most common points for common ailments are in the arms and legs, some are in the back, face, neck and abdomen.

The treatment lasts for up to 60 minutes, often 45 minutes is more than enough time. Please allow 1.5 hours for your first visit though, to include a full consultation.
