Our Treatments
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine sterilised single use needles into specific therapeutic points on the body known as acupoints. In Traditional Chinese Medicine this process adjusts and alters the body's energy flow known as Qi (pronounced Chee) into healthier patterns. It is used to assist in treating symptoms a wide variety of illnesses and health conditions.
CUPPING
Cupping is the process of applying round glass cups to the skin. Before being applied a Taper flame is briefly inserted into the cup, exhausting all the oxygen inside, which creates a vacuum seal using negative (tensional) pressure through a decrease in atmospheric pressure. This acts to lift the tissue therefore changing pressure under the skin and in the surrounding muscle and fascia to alleviate stagnation and opens the meridians.
POINT INJECTION
Point injection therapy is the process of injecting a very small amount of saline solution into specific therapeutic points in the skin or muscles.
The saline solution used in point injection stimulates these therapeutic points for an extended period of time, increasing the warm feeling of flowing qi that you may experience during an acupuncture treatment. Also like acupuncture, point injection therapy targets the direct source of the pain, not just the sensation.
Point injection is most commonly used where inflammation and injury of the bodily tissue has occurred. The injection of saline may assist in improving the quality of nutrient and waste transfer between the cells and bloodstream while also alkalizing local connective tissues.
House of Qi uses point injection therapy in conjunction with acupuncture.
