The Role of a Qualified Acupuncturist
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncturists use TCM philosophy to approach the human body holistically by addressing the underlying root causes to your condition in relation to your physical, mind and spiritual health.
Once the Acupuncturist has identified your root causes through examination and assessments, the acupuncturist will use thin sterilised needles to insert into specific acupuncture-points/meridian to stimulate the body’s energy network pathways structure. This may help to assist with prevention against diseases, general maintenance health well-being and drug-free pain relief.
