WELCOME, BARBARA BISHOP ACUPUNCTURE
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 assessing the individual and stimulating points on the body which activate their body's own healing mechanisms, and addressing any energy (Qi) imbalances.
I believe that health is not just about the absence of pain or disease, but about striving to achieve the best possible wellbeing state for you as a person by focussing on all health factors: physical, mental and emotional.
Treatments:
Various techniques are used i.e. needling, cupping, moxibustion (moxa), tu nia (Chinese massage), acupressure, myofascial taping, gua sha, electro acupuncture, and lifestyle and dietary advice.
For needling: sterile, fine, single use, needles are inserted and left in place for an average of 20 minutes while you relax.
Acupuncture can be used safely alongside other therapies or treatments, and is suitable for all ages.
