1-2-1 Acupuncture in Leeds City Centre

Our acupuncture clinic runs each Friday from 10am to 4pm.  If you would like to book or enquire please call 0113 2340818

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that dates back nearly 2000 years. The treatment is based on the principal that we have energy channels running through our body and that the energy in these channels can become sluggish or stagnant as a result of imbalance, ill-health, injury and stress.

These energy channels can be accessed at certain points around the body and it is these points that acupuncturists use in their treatments. We offer Traditional Chinese Medicinal acupuncture (TCM) – which has been found to be beneficial for many health conditions and can also promote deep relaxation.

Benefits Acupuncture:

  • Back pain – in several research trials acupuncture has been found to relieve back pain and the treatment is listed a suitable treatment for back pain on the NHS guidelines. Read more here.
  • Depression – some studies have found acupuncture to be as effective for treating depression as modern medicine but it does not have the side effects and so may be more beneficial. Acupuncture works by stimulating parts of the brain and helping to balance the brain chemistry.
  • Stress and anxiety – acupuncture promotes relaxation by stimulating parts of the brain that produce beneficial hormones. It can help the nervous system to relax and rebalance. Read more here.

There are too many benefits of acupuncture to list them all here. The British Acupuncture Council website gives a more comprehensive list of the conditions that acupuncture can help with. Have a look for yourself here.
