Acupuncture from Acuflex Holistics
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves the insertion of extremely fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to the pathways of 'Qi' or 'energy' which flow throughout the body. With life’s challenges this flow of energy may become impaired through overwork, emotional upset, injury or poor diet resulting in illness. Stimulating these points with acupuncture aims to restore the flow of energy promoting balance and inducing the body's own natural healing response.
Acupuncture is a gentle, powerful treatment aimed at treating holistically, focusing on the root cause of the individual's imbalance not only the illness or symptoms.
Acupuncture is often used to support various conditions, including pain, stress, digestive issues,infertility, cancer treatment and more.
