Acupuncture
Dating back 3000 years, acupuncture is used in Chinese medicine to ease acute and persistent problems. In Western medicine it is believed to cause nerves to release endorphins, a natural pain killer.
The process is relatively painless, however there may be temporary aching, heaviness or numbness. All needles are made of sterilised stainless steel and used only once.
