Welcome
Acupuncture is one of the oldest medical systems still practised today. This speaks much of the efficiency of treatment and the laws and principles on which it is based.
Acupuncture theory recognises that the body is a complete system and maintaining balance is crucial to health.
Acupuncture is now becoming recognised in the west as a reliable alternative treatment model for a wide variety of conditions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine:
​
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your body is seen as a network of channels carrying energy. Acupuncture treatments can help stimulate these channels, potentially promoting a sense of balance and well-being.
During your treatment with Marcus, you may experience the body's communication system at work. The insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body, like the hands, feet, elbows, knees, forearms, and lower legs, may influence other areas.
Here are some examples of how acupuncture can potentially help:
- Headaches and migraines: Acupuncture may offer relief for headaches and migraines.
- Pain management: It may help reduce pain and improve movement in various areas of the body, such as the shoulder, knee, or jaw.
- Arthritis: Some people experience improved movement and reduced pain in arthritic hands with acupuncture.
- Numbness: In some cases, acupuncture might help improve numbness.
- Emotional well-being: Acupuncture treatments may promote feelings of calmness, clarity, and inner contentment.
The aim of these potential benefits is for you to achieve balance which can then be applied to other aspects of your life, creating a more holistic approach to well-being.
