Some people are hesitant to try traditional Chinese medicine in Auckland, despite the ample reasons to have acupuncture treatment. There are many benefits, few 

risks, and it’s not as scary as you think:

​

• Many benefits: Acupuncture is usually suggested as a complementary treatment, being good to try out alongside other medical options. Acupuncture may help relieve your stress; in fact, this is the most common reason people seek acupuncture treatment. It has also been known to help with neck stiffness, body aches, joint pain, and even headaches and migraines.

• Few risks: The risks of acupuncture are low since all our practitioners are competent with plenty of experience. Some side effects may include soreness or minor bruising or bleeding where needles were inserted, but there are no greater risks involved with this procedure. All needles are sterilised to prevent infection.

• What it feels like: Many people hear the word “needles” and feel anxious, but we use hair-thin needles, and most people report minimal pain as needles are inserted. You can expect to feel a sensation of pressure, and many even say it makes them feel energised; others say they feel relaxed. Try it out now for many benefits, and few risks.
