Acupuncture is a part of an ancient and sophisticated form of medical treatment which originated in China but has increasingly spread throughout the world.
It involves the insertion of extremely fine, pre-sterilised, disposable, stainless steel needles on the body surface to restore internal health.
In the hands of a fully qualified TCM practitioner the use of acupuncture is entirely safe and free from harmful side-effects.
