Achieving the perfect balance
As part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the ancient therapeutic technique of acupuncture is used during your treatment at The Zhai Clinic. Now attracting significant attention from Western fertility experts, acupuncture is believed to work by promoting your body’s natural healing response and stimulating and rebalancing its natural energy flow or Qi.
Practitioners of TCM believe that a human body is like a networking system, where there are many energy pathways throughout the body; when one of these pathways becomes blocked or malfunctions, problems such as pain, illness or disease are thought to result. By inserting fine needles into the specific acupuncture points along these pathways, we believe that the blockage can be reduced or cleared and healing and wellbeing restored.
Wonderfully relaxing
Your acupuncture will be carried out by a fully qualified Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner, working under Xiao-Ping Zhai’s direction. They will explain exactly what they’re doing and make sure that your acupuncture session is as relaxing and comfortable as possible.
The acupuncture needles are so fine that they should cause no discomfort whatsoever. However should any of the needles cause you the slightest discomfort, our TCM practitioners will be able to make the necessary adjustments.
Depending on which acupuncture points are decided upon, you may be lying on your front or back. Most of our patients find the acupuncture so relaxing that they often fall asleep!
