What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin single-use needles to the skin to stimulate a neurovascular response which aims to impact local connective tissue as well as affecting nervous system function. Points selection is chosen based on individualised complaints and conditions with the aim to restore balance and encourage the body’s natural healing abilities.
