It is Ancient Healing Art from Traditional Chinese Medicine that you can experience at our Auckland Acupuncture clinic.

Acupuncture, an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), boasts a rich history spanning over 3,000 years.

 

It is a complementary therapy that involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points (acupoints) on the body where connect the specific organ to stimulate
the flow of energy.
 

By stimulating these acupoints, acupuncture restores the balance of qi, improves organ function, boost immunity, and acts as a preventive measure against diseases.

 

It's strength lies in its proactive approach to addressing imbalances before they manifest as physical symptoms.

How Acupuncture Works

​
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acupuncture includes a range of procedures that involve the stimulation of acupoints on the body using a variety of techniques.

 

The aim of doing this is to activate the self-healing ability of the body by improving the flow of energy and nutrients, which then promotes recovery from injury, restores balance in the body and maintains well- being.

Acupuncture can assist and addressing various health conditions by restoring the flow of Qi through the meridians.

 

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, blockage of energy can, over time, accumulate as a mass.

 

For example, since the Liver meridian runs through the pelvis and has a link to the breast, in women this can manifest in the development of ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids and endometriosis to name a few conditions. Acupuncture is an excellent tool for addressing constrained Liver qi.

One acupuncture session does NOT usually result in relief of pain. One or two sessions a week for five to six weeks is the normal treatment course.

 

Your physician will discuss with you how many treatments you should have and how often you should have them.
