Acupuncture Chatswood | What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture in Chatswood is a traditional, oriental healthcare practice. The technique has been in use for many thousands of years and is now increasingly utilised in hospitals and aged care facilities. It is enjoyed by people around the world from a wide variety of cultural and social backgrounds.
The World Health Organisation in a 2003 report stated: “In its 2500 years of development, a wealth of experience has been accumulated, attesting to the wide range of diseases and conditions that it (acupuncture) can effectively treat” (Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trial).
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into anatomic sites called ‘acupuncture points’ to clear energy blockages and promote the regular flow of qi (energy). Further enhancement is possible by stimulating the acupuncture points with other techniques such as moxibustion, cupping, laser therapy, electro-stimulation, and massage.
