ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENTS IN FLEMINGTON
Acupuncture Benefits
Acupuncture unlocks the body's internal pharmacy, using hair-thin needles to trigger a symphony of natural healing signals that flow through the body's web of connective tissue. This painless technique targets chronic conditions, strengthens immunity, and addresses physical ailments. By stimulating energy flow and restoring balance within the body, acupuncture can effectively reduce pain, inflammation, and emotional distress, promoting overall well-being.
NERVOUS SYSTEM
By stimulating the nervous system, acupuncture can help regulate mood, reduce anxiety and depression, promote relaxation and sleep.
PAIN & INFLAMMATION
Acupuncture assists the nervous system, reducing pain perception and inflammation. This can help with headaches, period pain, back pain, muscle tension, and arthritis.
PREGNANCY
Acupuncture can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts and, in later stages, help prepare the body for childbirth.
WOMENS HEALTH
Acupuncture can regulate menstrual cycles, ease cramps, and improve blood flow to the uterus.
BODY CHEMISTRY
Acupuncture influences the release of hormones that regulate metabolism and blood sugar, leading to a healthier digestive system.
HEALING
Needles will stimulate the production of white blood cells- crucial for fighting off infections like the common cold.
What to Expect
We will ask you questions focused on dietary habits, sleeping patterns, energy levels and any other complaints.
Your pulse will be taken and your tongue and eyes looked at in accordance to Traditional Chinese Medicine technique.
Your acupuncture points are chosen according to your specific diagnosis. Once the needles are in, most of our patients feel a sense of deep relaxation & even sleepiness!
Common Queries
-
We use single use, disposable needles and we are happy to say it should not hurt! Acupuncture should feel more like a very faint prick (often patients don't notice this at all and are sometimes shocked that the needle has even been inserted). What you should feel is a dull electrical or heavy feeling.
-
Acupuncture works on two main levels: balancing energy and stimulating the nervous system. By inserting needles at specific points, acupuncturists aim to restore balance in this energy flow.
-
Yes, you can. Once you have paid for your session, we will issue you with an invoice/receipt that you can then scan and upload in your health Fund App to receive a health refund. The amount that you are reimbursed depends on your health fund.
-
It all depends on your symptoms and how long you have experienced them.
Generally, though we like to see you weekly for 2 or 3 sessions and then we pace these out to fortnightly and monthly. Once you notice a change in your condition you will have all the tools to manage it yourself- acupressure points that we teach you, somatic practices that we show you and gut health and lifestyle modifications along side your herbs.

Many people experience a deep sense of calm and relaxation following acupuncture treatment.
