Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing modalities in the world, originating 3000 or 4000 years ago. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s self-healing ability and strengthens the natural vitality and in doing so it can help with a range of conditions. It can also alleviate stress and increase a sense of relaxation. Acupuncture can be used safely alongside conventional medicine modalities, but also is very effective as a stand-alone medicine.

As a holistic discipline, acupuncture treats the person rather than the disease, so you don’t have to have a specific diagnosis or condition to benefit from its treatment. Many people come to acupuncture because they feel stressed or “out of balance” or just have a sense of feeling unwell. 

Because every person is unique, the diagnosis and treatment are individually tailored, considering not only the person’s symptoms, but also their dietary and lifestyle habits, social circumstances, the environment they live in, their emotional attitudes and many other relevant aspects.
