What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment in which very fine needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate sensory nerves and muscles. The body is believed to have around 2,000 pressure points, connected by channels responsible for overall health. When this flow of energy is disrupted, it can lead to pain or illness.
How Acupuncture Can Help You
Anxiety and Depression
Chinese medicine acupuncture can help to restore the liver system, which helps to soothe the circulation of energy in the body and therefore release these feelings of irritability, anxiety, and depression as they are brought back into balance.
Migraines and Headaches
Research suggests acupuncture can help reduce the frequency of migraines in chronic sufferers. Beyond prevention, acupuncture may also help ease symptoms during acute attacks.
Newer evidence also points to acupuncture improving coping mechanisms, alongside relieving core migraine symptoms.
Digestive Issues
It is believed that each organ is connected in Chinese medicine, and nothing works alone. Because of this, taking care of your liver can help with issues with your digestive system, including acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and diarrhoea.
Hormone Imbalances
Research demonstrates that acupuncture treatment can regulate the healthy function of a woman’s hormones, supporting a wide range of menstrual and hormonal imbalances and problems such as irregular cycles, PMS, cramps, menstrual blood clots, fatigue, and infertility.
Tight Muscles
Tight muscles can be freed with acupuncture, as it helps to free up blockages in the muscles and release them.
The trigger in the body helps to promote a healthy flow of the body’s energy and helps with recovery, health, and general well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Expect From Acupuncture Treatment?
Acupuncture is painless and relaxing. Your appointment will start with a health assessment, followed by the insertion of very fine needles into specific acupuncture points, chosen based on what you’re being treated for.
You’ll usually lie down while the needles are left in place for up to 30 minutes.
You shouldn’t feel any pain during treatment, but let your practitioner know straight away if you do. For best results, a course of sessions is usually recommended rather than a single visit.
What Conditions Can Acupuncture Treat?
Acupuncture is commonly used to treat pain, but its benefits extend to stress management and overall wellness too. Research shows acupuncture can be effective on its own or alongside other treatments for conditions including:
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Arthritis and osteoarthritis
- Sciatica
- Tennis elbow
- Muscle cramping, pain, and weakness
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Dental pain
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Addiction support
Can Acupuncture Help With Fertility?
Acupuncture is often used alongside fertility treatment to help support reproductive health. In Chinese medicine, fertility is closely linked to hormonal balance, particularly the health of the liver, which is believed to store blood and regulate menstrual function.
Many people use acupuncture alongside conventional fertility treatments, such as IVF, as a complementary approach rather than a replacement. For more information on whether acupuncture helps with fertility, take a look at our comprehensive guide, which covers the process, the benefits and the evidence behind it.
How Often Should You Have Acupuncture?
How often you need acupuncture depends on the condition being treated and how your body responds to treatment. For acute issues, such as a recent muscle strain, a few sessions close together may be enough to see improvement.
For chronic conditions, such as long-term back pain or migraines, a longer course of treatment is usually recommended, sometimes followed by occasional maintenance sessions to keep symptoms under control.
Can You Have Acupuncture When Pregnant?
Yes, acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy when carried out by a qualified, experienced practitioner. Many women use it to help manage common pregnancy-related issues, such as lower back and pelvic pain, nausea, and stress.
Certain acupuncture points are avoided during pregnancy, particularly in the first trimester, as they’re believed to stimulate the uterus. It’s important to let your practitioner know if you’re pregnant (or think you might be) before treatment begins, so they can adapt your session accordingly.
