Acupuncture in Reading

The roots of acupuncture can be traced back to the Stone Age, with stone acupuncture needles dating back to 3000 BC. The first mention of acupuncture in its modern sense, however, can be found in the Yellow Emperor's 'Classic of Internal Medicine (History of Acupuncture) which was compiled around 250 BC.

Acupuncture consists of the insertion and manipulation of very fine needles into specific areas of the body. Acupuncture has been proven to relieve pain and to provide therapeutic remedies to patients. The needles are far finer than clinical hypodermic needles and are therefore often painless.

Acupuncture can make a difference to your life.

"I was very doubtful whether I needed treatment, because I'd never been treated for depression, although was certainly not a very happy person.

"I can truly say that my mental wellbeing/happiness went from a score of 2/10 to 10/10 during the first 6 months.

"My eyes were opened to how good life could be."
