What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of complementary medicine involving the insertion of fine needles into the skin to harness 'Qi' energy (pronounced Chee) considered to be our vital life-force.
The aim being, that stimulation of the body’s own natural healing system will then provide the best conditions by which wellbeing can be restored.
Why Five Element? 
Five element acupuncture is a more ancient form of treatment based upon the elements of Nature i.e. those of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
This also takes into account their interactions with each other and the philosophy that we are all made up of these same building blocks, with universal Qi providing the systems' energy source.
So by ensuring your body becomes balanced through acupuncture, the optimal condition is then reached to allow natural healing to take place.

Telling Testimonial
I initially visited Andrew to help recover from a broken ankle. Although I had been out of plaster and off crutches for 5 weeks I still felt a reasonable amount of pain and discomfort & was extremely fed up with it.
Andrew recommended 1 session a week for 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 weeks the improvement was tremendous. My ankle had recovered to the extent that I was rarely aware of any discomfort & I was back running.
But of even greater value than the improvement in my ankle was the feeling of general wellbeing and energy.
For anyone who has a stressful working life (and who doesn’t!) one of the biggest assets you can have is good energy levels.
The acupuncture sessions have given me a tremendous improvement in energy levels.
I have also noticed I am moving towards a much healthier work-life balance and no longer wish to do the ridiculously long hours I used to put in.
Since acupuncture is all about rebalancing I can only imagine this stemmed from the sessions. Although I had not mentioned this to Andrew as something I wanted to change I now see how much happier I am for having reduced my working week.
I have had such tremendous benefit from the treatment and will continue having them on a regular basis. For anyone concerned about any pain factor you literally feel a 2 second discomfort. There is certainly no pain.
Kind regards
