Acupuncture
Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Tuina massage (acupressure) are part of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Fine, disposable needles are used to restore the body’s physiological and emotional balance.

Illness results from disturbances of the energy from constitutional, environmental factors, lifestyle, nutrition or injuries. Chinese Medicine views the body as a medical system, where energy flows through channels and points, which can be stimulated and activated by the body’s own resources. Herbs and nutritional advice is often given to speed up healing.
