Acupuncture isn’t merely about placing needles to counteract symptoms—it’s a practice rooted in a profound understanding of Chinese Medicine. This philosophy recognises that similar symptoms can result from entirely different imbalances, so even if two patients share a common complaint, the underlying causes—and therefore the treatment points—may differ drastically.

For example, consider two patients with migraines. One's are triggered by stress, while the other’s migraines are due to low energy and reduced blood circulation. A symptom-focused approach might treat both with the same needle placements, offering temporary relief in one case but possibly depleting the vital energy needed by the other.

Our approach evaluates each individual’s unique energetic profile, ensuring that every needle serves to restore balance and support long-term well-being.

While Chinese medicine acupuncture is incredibly effective, it isn’t perfect on its own. With advanced medical technology, we can now understand our bodies in much greater detail. Integrating the rigour of Western medicine with the holistic perspective of Chinese medicine enables us to treat with precision while keeping the big picture in focus.Consider a patient suffering from sciatica—with low back pain and neurological symptoms radiating down the leg. A traditional, symptom-focused acupuncturist might apply needles at standard energy flow points, without differentiating whether the pain stems from spinal issues or muscular problems. In contrast, our approach begins by investigating the root cause of the sciatica using Western diagnostic methods. Once we determine whether the discomfort is due to spinal compression, muscular strain, or a combination, we tailor our acupuncture treatment to address that specific issue.
