Western Acupuncture
Western acupuncture is based on the scientific evidence that the insertion of needles into the body can positively affect the nervous system and stimulate a release of your body’s own natural pain killers and alter the way you perceive pain, safely blocking it in a number of different ways.
Traditional Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that energy, Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), flows through channels (meridians) in the body. If this flow of energy is blocked or moves too quickly it can lead to problems such as pain, stiffness or weakness. The belief is that by inserting needles into specific safe points we can regulate this flow of energy, reducing pain, stiffness or any number of problems.
