Acupuncture is a drug free treatment option that enhances the ability of the body to recover homeostasis, described  in Chinese medicine terminology  as dynamic  balance. 

Acupuncturists insert thin needles into points on the body which initiate responses from the Central nervous system . 

Modulating effects on pain and metabolism are achieved through acupuncture's ability to increase blood circulation and stimulate the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and other natural opioids . Acupuncture has also been found to have positive effects on brain chemistry through the regulation of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands which are responsible for the smooth running of hormonal activity in the body. The combination of all these factors can result in a broad spectrum of effects on various body systems relating to digestive function, temperature control ,breathing hormone release, sexual and cardiac function.

Origins of Acupuncture.

Acupuncture is part of an integrated medical system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM which originated in China.

While TCM was created in the 1950's and is a form of Chinese medicine based in herbal medicine theory and treatment, the origins of original Chinese medicine can be traced back nearly 5000 years. As well as being one of the oldest healthcare systems in the world today, Chinese medicine and Acupuncture have been extensively researched in clinical trials  for a number of medical conditions.

. More recently, The Acupuncture Evidence Project (link below) found evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture for 117 conditions, with stronger evidence for acupuncture effectiveness for some conditions than others. Acupuncture is considered safe in the hands of a well-trained practitioner and has been found to be cost effective for some conditions. The quality and quantity of research into acupunctures effectiveness is increasing.

Myofascial Cupping is the practice of using reverse pressure through suction to release tension and pain from the body. The purpose of cupping is to restore blood flow and resolve inflammation that can remain in the body after trauma and injury . Cupping relieves pain  due to its ability to disperse stagnation of inflammatory agents and de-constrict tissue fibres. Increasing blood flow and oxygen supply to muscle tissue encourages efficient metabolic uptake, causing a release of tightness and thus pain reduction. This is a relaxing and enjoyable technique, which can be applied on most areas of the body. Apart from being used to release muscular tightness, cupping is also able to be used in facial rejuvenation techniques, abdominal/digestive issues, cellulite reduction and scar and stretchmark reduction.
