Clinical acupuncture is a safe, evidence-based form of acupuncture that combines traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern medical and scientific understanding. It is widely used to help manage pain, reduce stress, and support physical and emotional wellbeing.

Unlike standardised treatments, clinical acupuncture is tailored to the individual, taking into account your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health. Treatment aims to support the body’s natural healing processes and improve balance within the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

How Clinical Acupuncture Works

Clinical acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. These points are chosen to stimulate nerves, improve circulation, release muscle tension, and encourage the body’s own pain-relieving and regulatory mechanisms.

Research shows that acupuncture can influence the nervous system, helping to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and promote relaxation.
