About Us

At Advanced Acupuncture, we are committed to helping people feel better naturally. Our highly qualified acupuncturists have trained and worked extensively in China, bringing authentic traditional Chinese medicine to our three Christchurch clinics. Acupuncture is a trusted and time-honoured therapy that has been practised across Asia for thousands of years. It is based on the understanding that energy pathways (meridians) run throughout the body, carrying vital energy known as Qi. When this flow becomes blocked or disrupted — through stress, injury, illness or lifestyle factors — the body can fall out of balance, leading to discomfort and disease.

By inserting fine, sterile needles at precise points on these pathways, acupuncture helps restore healthy energy flow, rebalance the body and support natural healing. Every person’s condition is unique, and we tailor treatments to address not only symptoms but the underlying cause. Signs such as pain, changes in temperature, or localised tension help determine where treatment is needed most.

While Western medicine continues to explore exactly how acupuncture works, extensive studies show consistent effectiveness — the same approach we use right here in Christchurch. Our treatment plans may also include complementary therapies such as cupping, moxibustion and acupressure to enhance results and overall wellbeing.
