Everyday stresses, type of lifestyle, repetitive work practice strains and injury upset our natural balance and lead to physical and ultimately emotional symptoms, in particular physical pain can lead to emotional depression.
The practitioner uses very fine, painless needles to activate specific energy points on the body to help bring both body and mind back to health. Acupuncture triggers the body’s healing process by calming the central nervous system, regulating hormones and releasing pain relieving substances called endorphins ( the body morphines)
