Josephine has been an acupuncturist for over 23 years and has clinics in Abergavenny, Brecon and Llandrindod Wells. Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needlesat very precise acupuncture points. The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body's own internal regulating system.
