Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widely used medical disciplines in the world today. Acupuncture originated in China more than 2000 years ago, but only in the last 35 years has it become widespread outside of China. There are over 360 acupuncture points on the human body that connect to create pathways called meridians.
More than three hundred Chinese herbs that are used today have a history for usage that bates back 2,000 years. Today Chinese Herbal Medicine is a very refined science of using natural herbs for the treatment of both internal symptoms as well as external applications for joints, muscles and the skin.
Gua Sha is a special treatment technique that has been used for healing since the dawn of time. In its most purist form this technique is intrinsic for us as humans, when we hurt ourselves we have a natural response to rub it. Chinese medicine has developed this most basic natural remedy and developed a full method of treatment that can lead to profound results for treating all types of conditions.
Tai Na is the Chinese name for massage, and it means to 'push and to pull, ' this describes the most fundamental action used by your arms to do massage. Chinese massage is very special as it incorporates many levels of understanding in its treatment including, Chinese medicine diagnostics, Biomechanics, acupuncture theory and the use of acupuncture points for its primary effect to get maximum results.

After 3 years of trying to have a baby and two miscarriages, I decided to try acupuncture and Chinese medicine. After my second treatment of acupuncture with Francesco, I found out I was pregnant. At our 6 week dating scan, we found out we were having twins. We now have 3 month old, healthy and happy boy/girl twins. Thank you Francesco on helping us on our fertility journey.

FIVE STARS! You won’t go wrong to visit Francesco & Tina for a holistic alternative to pain therapy. I have been getting acupuncture treatments from Francesco over the last few years for numerous muscular complaints and Francesco’s incredible ability & knowledge to alleviate pain and help muscle tension through acupuncture has kept me coming back to see him and help heal without the need for “western medicine”. I always feel energized after my treatments! Thank you Francesco! However, at my recent appointment, I received an acupuncture treatment from Francesco and then a massage and pressure

Professional Clinic, Clean & Pleasant.
Would have loved more information at the time on why I was receiving that particular treatment and what it is doing in order to aid my reason of being there.
Second visit, barely any words exchanged and felt a little disappointed in regards to communication with Francesco.
As I am sure the treatments are conducted with the upmost experience and knowledge, I just found it would have been nice to have received better service in regards to communication.
I have been to previous acupuncture clinics where it is discussed in depth, therefore, was surprised when
