The sad reality of life is that as our bodies age we find that more and more things tend to go wrong. Systems that worked beautifully in our younger years, no longer operate with the same level of reliability. Suddenly we realize that a sound night's sleep is no longer guaranteed, and that constipation or diarrhea is now a concern. Back pain, knee pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, heel pain, headaches, hemorrhoids, impotency, lack of sex drive … the list goes on … become a worry for the first time in your life as you age.

However you will be pleased to know that acupuncture can definitely help with these problems. At our clinic we practice Japanese acupuncture which is a gentle style of treatment which many people report brings them profound relief from their symptoms. We are confident that you will walk out after your first treatment already feeling a marked improvement in your inner self, and thereafter you will notice positive changes to all the symptoms that have been of concern to you.

Naturally treatment will take time to take effect when you have had the condition for a long time. However the beauty of acupuncture is that as it is a wholistic therapy, the whole body benefits from every treatment. That means that although your primary concern might be your constipation, you will find that after a course of say six acupuncture treatments, you will find that not only are your bowel movements more comfortable and regular, but your sleep has improved, the condition of your skin has improved and you have a greater sense of well being and improved outlook that you have not experienced for many years.

As we age we tend to take more and more medications to treat the abovementioned conditions and some of these medications can tend to build up in the liver and tissues of the body. The end result can be terrible rashes and skin problems as the body tries to eliminate the toxins. Our treatments for detoxification can bring wonderful relief from itching skin and other problems emanating from accumulated toxins in the system, and they are definitely recommended for anyone on high doses of medication.

Our treatments are also advantageous for those undergoing chemotherapy and the like as they definitely help with the feelings of nausea etc. that accompany such therapies.

If your condition is an acute condition (of short duration), then we suggest you might need between four to six, one hour treatments to rectify the problem.

However if you just require maintenance treatments, or you have a chronic condition, we suggest that you book regular half hour weekly sessions, as long standing conditions can of course take a lot longer to heal.

If needles are your concern we can assure you that we use the best quality, finest Japanese needles and most needles are only inserted to the depth of a couple of millimeters. However if this is still a concern for you, please refer to the section on Acupuncture Without Needles for more information on how you can have a treatment without needles.

We offer special rates for seniors (with seniors card).

Our clinic is now offering a fantastic treatment from Germany called Induction Therapy. Examples of some of the treatments within the Induction Therapy program are treatments for Depression, Stress, Migraines and Headaches, Pain states, Sleep Disorders as well as Degenerative Disease. After an Induction Therapy treatment you should feel refreshed, relaxed and calm. Please refer to our section on Induction Therapy to find out how a course of treatments will re-educate your brain waves to return to their former natural healthy rhythm.

Whatever you decide to do, remember that the greatest gift in life is to be painfree and it is only when we have pain that we realize how true that is.
