Acute and Chronic Pain
Acupuncture has good positive effects especially for chronic pain.
According to NINDS it is estimated that up to 80% of the population will suffer from some sort of back discomfort at some point in their lives, with the lower back as the most common location of discomfort. Additionally, it is the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work days. In a large survey, more than a quarter of adults reported experiencing low back pain during the past 3 months. Acupuncture has been shown to have positive effects in reducing acute or chronic pain symptoms. More about this, is that a review of 6,376 patients with chronic pain found that 90% of the pain relieving benefits of acupuncture persisted for 12 months after treatment (MacPherson H. et al "The persistence of the effects of acupuncture after a course of treatment: A meta analysis of patients with chronic pain. Pain 2016)

A Natural Way to Reduce Pain
Pain can arise for many reasons - from injury, strain, tension, or ongoing physical conditions. Acute pain may occur suddenly and last a short time, while chronic pain can persist for longer periods and affect quality of life, energy, and mood. Managing pain often requires a multifaceted approach that may include medical care, lifestyle adjustments, and complementary therapies that focus on relaxation and balance.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pain is viewed as a sign that the body's energy, or qi, may not be flowing smoothly. Acupuncture and related techniques are believed to help support this natural balance. At the Acupuncture & Beauty Centre, we take a gentle, individualised approach to care. Sessions are designed to promote calm, reduce tension, and support your overall sense of wellbeing.
Many clients choose acupuncture or Chinese herbal medicine as part of their broader approach to managing pain and maintaining balance. These therapies are complementary in nature and can be used alongside medical care and other treatments recommended by your healthcare provider.
Chronic pain can affect both the body and the mind. Creating space for stillness and relaxation may help ease stress, improve mood, and foster a greater sense of resilience. Acupuncture and related relaxation practices can offer a quiet time for the body to reset and the mind to rest

Chinese Medical Perspective
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emotional and physical wellbeing are viewed as interconnected. From this perspective, stress or worry impact the LIVER energy which can affect the flow of energy (qi) in the body. Acupuncture and related techniques are believed to support the smooth movement of qi and help encourage a sense of calm and balance. Sessions are focused on restoring balance through gentle, personalised care. Some clients describe feeling more relaxed, centred, and grounded after their treatment.
Stress, anxiety, or emotional tension can influence sleep, focus, and overall vitality. Acupuncture, mindfulness practices, and relaxation therapies are often chosen by people looking to support their ability to help unwind and rebalance.
From a Western viewpoint, the body works to alleviate stress by releasing natural pain-killing chemicals in the brain, called endorphins.
