Acupuncture
We are an ACC provider and can help with a huge range of health problems
From back pain, to morning sickness to hay-fever, acupuncture supports the body’s own healing potential and treats the person rather than the problem so treatment is specific for each individual. It is an effective, safe and natural form of medicine.
