Acupuncture is derived from centuries old Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) - fine needles are inserted through the skin, primarily to stimulate sensory nerves for therapeutic effect. Western Medical Acupuncture is an adaptation of TCM and is increasingly used in NHS pain clinics, hospices, GP surgeries and private practice.
