Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing practices in the world, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and supported by modern research. It is a safe, natural therapy that stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
At The ON Acupuncture, we provide personalised acupuncture treatments that address the root cause of your symptoms, helping you feel better, move better, and live better.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body called acupoints. These points lie along energy pathways, or meridians, that connect organs and tissues. According to TCM, when Qi (life energy) flows freely, the body is in balance. Illness occurs when this flow is disrupted.
From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, increasing blood circulation, releasing endorphins (natural painkillers), and regulating hormones and neurotransmitters. This explains its broad application across a wide range of conditions.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Acupuncture
Acupuncture is well-known for its ability to reduce pain, but its benefits extend far beyond. It is used to treat:

Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic illness or simply want to improve your overall wellbeing, acupuncture offers a gentle and effective solution.
What to Expect During Your Session
Each session begins with a detailed consultation where we assess your symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health. This allows us to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.
Most clients find acupuncture deeply relaxing. You may feel a mild sensation as the needles are inserted, followed by a sense of calm or warmth as your body begins to shift into a state of balance. Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes.
Depending on your condition, we may recommend a course of treatments for optimal results. Many clients report improvements after just one or two sessions.
Safe, Evidence-Based and Drug-Free
Acupuncture is widely recognised by organisations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) for its effectiveness. It is a drug-free, minimally invasive therapy with very few side effects when performed by a qualified practitioner.
At The ON Acupuncture, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. We use only single-use, sterile needles and adhere to the highest hygiene standards.
