At Advanced Acupuncture Christchurch, we believe in the natural power of healing. Our mission is to help people feel better without relying solely on medications or invasive treatments. With three conveniently located clinics across Christchurch, our highly qualified acupuncturists bring authentic Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) straight from China, where they trained and practiced extensively.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-honoured therapy practised across Asia for thousands of years. At its core, it works on the understanding that energy pathways, known as meridians, run throughout the body, carrying vital energy called Qi. When the flow of Qi becomes blocked or disrupted—due to stress, injury, illness, or lifestyle factors—the body can fall out of balance, leading to discomfort and disease.
By gently inserting fine, sterile needles at precise points along these meridians, acupuncture helps restore healthy energy flow, rebalance the body, and support natural healing. Each treatment is tailored to your unique condition, addressing not only symptoms but also the underlying cause. Practitioners carefully observe signs such as pain, localised tension, or changes in temperature to determine where treatment is needed most.
The Benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine
While Western medicine continues to investigate exactly how acupuncture works, extensive research shows its consistent effectiveness in managing a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Chronic and acute pain
-
Muscle tension and spasms
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Digestive disorders
-
Sleep disturbances
To enhance results, our treatment plans may also include complementary therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, and acupressure, all aimed at promoting overall wellbeing.
