Acupuncture Medical Treatment

Acupuncture is a time-honoured healing therapy rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practiced for thousands of years to support balance, wellbeing, and the body’s natural ability to heal. Using the gentle insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture helps restore harmony within the nervous system, muscles, and internal processes.

From a traditional perspective, acupuncture works by encouraging the smooth flow of vital energy (Qi) through pathways known as meridians. When this flow becomes disrupted, discomfort, pain, or imbalance may arise. By stimulating carefully selected points, acupuncture promotes relaxation, improves circulation, eases tension, and supports both physical and emotional health.

Medical (Western) Acupuncture, also known as dry needling, complements this holistic approach by drawing on modern understanding of anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based medicine. It focuses on muscles, connective tissues, and trigger points to gently release tightness, reduce inflammation, and alleviate musculoskeletal and myofascial pain.

Acupuncture is known to support the nervous system by creating subtle neuroplastic changes that help regulate pain pathways, calm overactive responses, and encourage deep relaxation. This makes it beneficial for both acute and chronic pain, stress-related conditions, fatigue, and recovery from injury.

Each treatment is individually tailored and carried out in a calm, supportive environment. You will be guided through the entire process, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease at all times. The session includes gentle bodywork to enhance relaxation and deepen the therapeutic effect. Treatment is performed with minimal undressing, maintaining comfort, privacy, and dignity throughout.
