Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of health conditions. It is based on the belief that energy, or qi (pronounced “chee”), flows through the body along pathways known as meridians. 

When the qi is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. Acupuncture in South Melbourne works to restore balance and flow by inserting thin needles into specific points on the body.

The practice of acupuncture is based on the Chinese belief that health and disease are caused by the flow of energy in the body. It is believed to restore balance to the flow of qi, which can reduce symptoms and improve overall health. It is thought to work by stimulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), and improving blood flow to the targeted area.

It can be used to treat a wide variety of health conditions, including chronic pain, digestive issues, headaches, and stress. It is used to treat both physical and emotional health, and has been studied for its potential benefits in treating depression, anxiety, and insomnia.

In addition to acupuncture, practitioners may also use other treatments such as cupping, moxibustion, herbal remedies, and massage to support the healing process.
