General information

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine. The earliest acupuncture books were written over two thousand years ago and today there are now over 3 million practitioners worldwide. Acupuncture began with the discovery that stimulating certain areas of the body affected functioning of certain organs. As the connection between skin and organs became better understood, it evolved into a system of healing. Due to its power to stimulate our own healing response it is effective for a variety of conditions. This overall therapeutic effect is one of its greatest strengths.

What does treatment involve?

Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide variety of complaints, resulting in an improved feeling of well-being. A typical treatment will involve an initial consultation followed by the insertion of needles. Frequently these needles will be left in for 15- 20 minutes although sometimes they may simply be inserted and removed. The needles used are far finer than those used for injections and generally only cause a slight sensation as they go through the skin. Pre-sterilised, disposable needles are used on all patients. All aspects of acupuncture treatment are strictly regulated by the British Acupuncture Council, of which Tim is a member.
