Melanie Elliman Shenming Clinic

What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is an ancient medical system which dates back to around 2,500 years ago in China. Chinese physicians, over the years have evolved an intricate healing process which influences the body's own energy known as "Qi" by inserting fine needles directly into specific acupuncture points. This stimulates the flow of energy which can produce positive change by clearing any obstruction blocking its pathway and strengthening its movement. Acupuncture is successful in the prevention and treatment of many conditions. It enables the practitioner to find the root cause of illness when diagnosing, thus creating balance within an individual as a whole. Why choose Acupuncture? More often than not I see patients in my clinics that have been on a long and stressful journey trying to establish a diagnosis for their symptoms. By the time they discover acupuncture they can feel desperate and at a seemingly dead end.
