About the Business
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles to help relieve pain, cure disease and promote health. Acupuncture is commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, although it actually predates the use in China and is seen in both Ancient Egyptian and in Hindu texts, believed to be 5000-7000 years old.
The effects of acupuncture have been extensively studied and acupuncture has been shown to act mainly by stimulating the nervous system to reduce pain signals, improve circulation and reduce muscle tension. Some patients also report increased energy levels or euphoria.
Medical Acupuncture is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine. The British Medical Acupuncture School (BMAS) involves the use of acupuncture treatment following orthodox clinical diagnosis. Importantly, members of BMAS are regulated health professionals who use acupuncture as a therapy within their practice.
