Acupuncture has a definite history of around 2,000 years, and some claim that acupuncture has been in use in China for about 4,000 years. there is also a belief that it dates back to the stone age when stone knives and sharp edged tools, described by the character 'Bian', were used to open and drain abscesses.

What points are there for acupuncture?

At Max Well Health, we use acupuncture as a gentle, holistic therapy that works by stimulating specific points on the body—called acupuncture points—to restore balance in the flow of energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”). These points, of which there are more than 350, are located along pathways known as meridians that connect different organs and systems. By selecting the right combination of points—whether local, distal, or balancing—our practitioners create personalized treatments that can help relieve pain, reduce stress, support digestion, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.
