Welcome to Barbara Bishop Acupuncture
Health is not just about the absence of pain or disease, ideally to avoid unnecessary stress on the body’s many systems it’s best to maintain an equilibrium. Acupuncture works towards achieving this by focussing on all aspects of wellbeing: physical, mental and emotional.
Acupuncture is a system of medicine that has been used to restore, promote and maintain good health for thousands of years by Chinese and other Eastern cultures. It is considered beneficial to treat a wide range of illnesses or symptoms, and can also be used as a preventative measure to strengthen the body's constitution. It works by stimulating points on the body which activate the body's own healing mechanisms, and addressing any energy (Qi) imbalances.
Treatments:
Treatment includes insertion of extremely fine, single use, sterile needles which are left in place for an average of 20 minutes.
Treatments may also include other techniques such as cupping moxibustion (moxa), tunia (Chinese massage), acupressure, gua sha, lifestyle or dietary advice and electro acupuncture.
Acupuncture can be used safely alongside other therapies or treatments, and is suitable for all ages.
