What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a system of healing based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and involves the stimulation of specific locations on the body, called acupuncture points. Chinese acupuncture generally achieves this through the use of needles, heat and pressure
What does Acupuncture Treat?
In 1979 the World Health Organization (WHO) published a list of common conditions considered to respond to Acupuncture. Today, with more than 10 000 studies done, in 60 countries, that list has grown significantly.
What can you expect after the first treatment?
The treatment mechanism of acupuncture is to trigger the body’s own regulating and healing responses. Consequently it draws on one’s own energy reserves. It is therefore important that you come to a session well fed and rested.

About Justin
Justin came to Chinese medicine through an interest in martial arts and oriental self-cultivation and health practices. He has been involved in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine since 1995 and studied under Dr. Lin Feng-Chao, the very well known and respected Acupuncturist in Plumstead, Cape Town for 6 years.
"I went to The Acupuncture Practice following continuous chest pain after my heart attack. Having tried so many practitioners and medications over a six month period, none of which proved to provide relief, I am so happy to share that from the very first session, the pain dissipated. I now attend periodic sessions to maintain this balance. Justin provides a compassionate and a caring environment and I highly recommend anyone with similar ailments to make an appointment."

"After a few years of IC pelvic and back pain, where most days sitting in front of a computer or walking was excruciating, I have found an amazing acupuncturist who makes the bad days much better. If you have chronic pain and you want to limit the drugs, give this amazing man a try - he has been a lifesaver for me! Never be scared to try something different like Acupuncture for pain management because you really have nothing to lose - and like me you could be happily surprised. "
