About Acupuncture
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine is an ancient medical philosophy that works to restore balance within the body, activating the body's innate intelligence and promoting deep self-healing.
Chinese Medicine theory and diagnosis takes a holistic approach, prioritising the important connection between all systems of the body, as well as the emotional and spiritual state of the patient. We identify a pattern of disharmony in the body rather than being solely focused on a disease itself.
An acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific locations (acupuncture points) on the body. The stimulation of these acupuncture points activates and regulates the energy flow within the meridians of the body assisting to restore natural function. Most people find the acupuncture experience an enjoyable and relaxing break from their day.
The acupuncture treatments at Rosepod Wellness are based on the Japanese needle technique which is very gentle and restorative, placing the utmost importance on patient comfort. The treatments may include the use of a warming heat lamp and or moxibustion therapy.
