Acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
Five Element acupuncture to restore balance, from the weekly clinic at The Lodge. Chronic pain, fatigue, stress, hormonal and digestive health, sleep, and support through addiction.
Five Element acupuncture treats the whole person, not one symptom on its own.
It is a traditional approach that looks at how body, mind and emotions affect each other. Points are chosen for you, and the treatment changes from session to session as you do.
Needles are very fine, and most people find sessions deeply relaxing. Ear seeds, cupping, moxibustion and acupressure can be added where they help.
