Acupuncture Treatments

How Does It Work?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) and NICE (National Institute of Care & Excellence) has demonstrated that Acupuncture is effective for the management of pain. It strengthens the immune systems and increases blood flow and antibody levels. Acupuncture has been proven to stimulate endorphins – natural painkillers and neurotransmitters which help the body cope with stress, depression and mood disorders. It is renowned for supporting circulation, restoring healthy blood flow and balance in the body.

Through regular activation of these points, the body becomes more balanced, regulated, relaxed and free from pain.

Making Time for You

“Tranquility is the new luxury in today’s society” (Joe Dispenza)

Life’s busy. We often lose ourselves in the chaos. So many of us are carrying stress in our body. Our niggles turn into long-standing injury and pain. It is imperative that you put yourself first for a change. You deserve to take an hour out of your busy schedule to relax and heal.

SHINE Acupuncture offer respite and comfort in a provide and confidential backdrop. Every person who enters the clinic is treated with respect and integrity. It is SHINE’s intention that you leave with a sense of relief, calm and wellbeing.

Research shows that the stimulation of tiny needles, placed at specific points in the body activate nerve fibres that carry electric pulses to the brain. Neurotransmitters, such as endorphin and dopamine, which relieve stress and pain and boost mood are released. Your “fight or flight” response ie., your sympathetic nervous system is calmed. Your heart rate slows down, cortisol (stress) levels drop, blood pressure lowers and your body enters a state of relaxation.

Your time at SHINE promises to be restorative, relaxing and exactly what you need. Time for yourself is essential. We promise, you will never regret investing in yourself.

Prioritise Your Own Needs.

Take time for you.
It’s your time to SHINE!

The Face Behind SHINE

Irene (Dip.Ac) is passionate about all things Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture.

Having suffered from Trigeminal Neuralgia (also known as Suicide Pain), Irene, a self-confessed cynic found herself seeking acupuncture to combat both the condition and the side effects of heavy medication.

The debilitating condition responded extremely well to acupuncture and Irene was a complete convert.

Following years of study at the Acupuncture Foundation Ireland, she has since turned her passion into a skillset where she supports and transforms the lives of others.

She knows only too well how pain affects everyday life. Irene is committed to providing a nurturing, safe environment to support as many as she can in their health and wellbeing journeys.
