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 is a holistic therapy that stimulates specific points on the body to activate the body's natural healing abilities. By improving the flow of energy (Qi) and nutrients, acupuncture promotes recovery from injury, restores balance, and enhances overall well-being.​

​

​Acupuncture involves inserting fine, sterile needles into acupoints along energy pathways, known as meridians. This process helps to:

• Stimulate the Nervous System – Encourages the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins.

• Improve Blood Circulation – Enhances oxygen and nutrient flow to tissues for faster healing.

• Regulate Energy Flow (Qi) – Removes blockages that contribute to pain, tension, or illness.

• Reduce Inflammation – Supports the body’s immune response to manage pain and swelling.

​​​Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
 

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), disruptions in Qi can lead to various health concerns. Over time, stagnant energy may manifest as physical discomfort, inflammation, or the formation of masses.

For example:

• The Liver meridian, which runs through the pelvis and connects to the breast, can contribute to ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis if Qi becomes constrained.

• Acupuncture is an effective tool in addressing Liver Qi stagnation, helping to restore smooth energy flow and reduce associated symptoms.

​​

What to Expect from Acupuncture Treatment
 

Acupuncture is a cumulative therapy, meaning consistent treatment is often needed for optimal results.

• One session alone may not provide complete relief – Most treatment plans involve 1-2 sessions per week for 5-6 weeks.

• Personalized Approach – Your physician will assess your condition and recommend the appropriate number of treatments tailored to your needs.
