At Advanced Acupuncture Christchurch, we specialise in traditional Chinese medicine and modern acupuncture techniques designed to restore balance, relieve pain, and support long-term wellness. Our experienced practitioners offer personalised care in a calming, professional environment, helping clients throughout Christchurch achieve better physical and emotional health.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow, often called Qi. When energy becomes blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to pain, stress, fatigue, or illness. By placing fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body, acupuncture encourages natural healing, improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes relaxation.
