Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel minimal discomfort. The needles are very thin — much finer than those used for injections. You may feel a slight prick, tingling, warmth, or a dull ache, which usually indicates the treatment is working.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the condition, how long you've had it, and your overall health. Acute problems may improve in just a few sessions; chronic issues may require regular visits over a longer period.
What conditions can acupuncture help with?
Acupuncture can assist with a wide range of conditions including pain, stress, headaches, digestive problems, insomnia, fertility issues, and much more. Check out our Conditions list
How does acupuncture work?
In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture stimulates the flow of Qi (energy) through meridians in the body. In Western terms, it helps modulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and promote blood circulation.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare and usually mild. They may include slight bruising, soreness, or light-headedness after treatment. Serious complications are extremely rare when acupuncture is performed by a trained professional.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified practitioner using sterile, single-use needles, acupuncture is very safe.
Can I combine acupuncture with other treatments?
Yes. Acupuncture works well alongside conventional medicine, physical therapy, massage, and other holistic therapies. Always inform your practitioner about other treatments you're receiving.
What should I do before and after a session?
Eat a light meal beforehand, wear comfortable clothes, and avoid strenuous exercise or alcohol immediately after treatment. Stay hydrated and rest if needed.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance?
In New Zealand (and many other countries), acupuncture is often covered by accident compensation schemes (like ACC) and some private insurers. Check your policy or ask the clinic for help with claims.
What if I'm afraid of needles?
Many people who fear needles find acupuncture surprisingly gentle. Let your practitioner know — they can use fewer or finer needles, or techniques like acupressure if needed.
How soon will I feel better?
Some people feel improvement after the first treatment; others may take several sessions. Healing is a process, and acupuncture often builds effects over time.
Can I bring a support person?
Yes you're welcome to bring a support person.
