Registered Acupuncture Therapy
Acupuncture is one of the oldest Traditional Chinese Medicine healing techniques originating in China more than 3,000 years ago. It involves the insertion of very thin, metallic needles, on specific points (acupuncture points) of the body's surface. The extreme thinness of the needles ensures that little or no discomfort will be experienced during the treatment. It has been used traditionally to prevent, diagnose and treat disease, as well as to improve general health.
