  • The biomedical mechanisms by which Acupuncture creates change in the body is an established, exciting and rapidly expanding area of research. The treatment you receive is formulated using the framework of Chinese Medicine but the effects can be seen, felt and understood from a Western Scientific perspective also. We love discussing both views of the body and welcome questions. Below is a snapshot of some of the current literature in this field of study.
