We’ve seen the demand for acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine grow in recent years. As we as a society put more focus on our health and the strength of our immune systems, as well as our emotional wellbeing, it’s likely that treatments like acupuncture could play a role in the post-quarantine health plan of many people.

In reality, acupuncture is a completely safe and reliable treatment if carried out by fully trained practitioners. We explore what acupuncture feels like and a few things you can expect during your first treatment with us at Acubody or other accredited practitioners.
Some people choose to be treated with acupuncture as part of their strategy to resolve fertility issues. Often, it is chosen as a complementary approach alongside IVF.
