“If there is free flow, there is no pain; If there is no free flow, there is pain"
Traditional Chinese Medicine looks pain and illness as sign that the body is out of balance. There can be many reasons for that - emotional and physical stress, unhealthy diet and injury - are the most common. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment, then, is to restore the body's equilibrium. Each patient is accessed in a physical, mental and emotional level. They can have the same symptoms but may receive a different treatment as the root of the problem and TCM diagnose may differ. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of your body Qi or vital energy.
The Western medical acupuncture explains that by stimulating the sensory nerves, it results in the production and release of the body's internal chemicals such as endorphins, enkephalins. These natural substances have pain - relieving and calming properties and encourage the healing mechanism of the body to activate.
Review from Sophie - shoulder pain "I had acupuncture for shoulder pain which I'd been suffering for days.I had taken daily painkillers but was only helping for a few hours. The pain was so intense that I couldn't lift my arm and was affecting my sleep. It was affecting my life a lot. After one treatment I felt instant relief...Isabella explained me everything about the treatment and asked questions about my health and lifestyle. The needles were placed in my hands and legs and she asked me to move my shoulder. I couldn't believe, I was able to lift my arm without feel almost no pain anymore. It was like a magic. The pain had reduced 95% after first session. I visited Isabella twice more and after three treatments I am completely pain free! Isabella made me feel very comfortable, and really listens to what you say,. Would highly recommend" Sophie
