Traditional
Chinese Medicine Acupuncture
A classical, holistic approach rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture at Urban Health & Wellbeing clinic is practiced as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), following classical principles rather than isolated techniques.
Treatment focuses on supporting the body’s internal balance by regulating qi, blood and the meridian system, with the aim of addressing interior patterns rather than simply relieving exterior symptoms.
How Acupuncture Works – A TCM Perspective
Regulating Balance
From a TCM perspective, health depends on the dynamic balance of yin and yang, and the smooth circulation of qi and blood.
When this balance is disrupted, symptoms may arise in many different forms.
Qi, blood and the meridian system
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points along the meridian system to influence the movement of qi and blood.
This can help relieve stagnation, support deficient systems, and harmonise internal function.
Natural and non-chemical
No pharmaceutical substances are introduced during treatment.
Acupuncture supports the body’s own regulatory mechanisms and is often chosen by patients seeking a natural and non-invasive approach.
Professionalism In Every Step We Take
“Treatment plans are always individual and based on a full consultation.”
Conditions commonly supported

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people find acupuncture very comfortable and are often surprised by how gentle it feels.
Because acupuncture needles are extremely thin, you may feel a brief pinch, tingling, warmth, heaviness, or dull achewhen the needle is inserted—this is normal and often a sign the point is responding. After that, many people feel deeply relaxed, and some even fall asleep during treatment.
If you’re feeling sensitive or nervous, let your practitioner know—we can adjust the technique, use fewer needles, and keep the treatment as comfortable as possible.
The number of acupuncture sessions you may need depends on your symptoms, how long you’ve had them, and any underlying causes. As a general guide, many people start with a course of 6–8 weekly sessions, then move to less frequent maintenance treatments as needed to help sustain results and prevent flare-ups.
After a thorough initial consultation and assessment, your acupuncturist will recommend a personalised treatment plan based on your condition and how your body responds to treatment.
Because acupuncture takes a holistic approach, results vary from person to person—some people improve in fewer sessions, while others may benefit from a longer course. At Urban Health and Wellbeing Clinic, we’ll work closely with you to create the most effective plan for your needs and goals.
Your safety and results are always our priority. Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation so we can understand your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and goals—then tailor a plan that’s appropriate for you.
