In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to prioritize our well-being and seek natural approaches to enhance our overall health. If you’re seeking a holistic healing technique that has stood the test of time, acupuncture may be just what you need. With its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture offers a multitude of benefits for both physical and mental well-being.

The underlying principle of clinical acupuncture lies in the concept of Qi and the interconnectedness of the body. By inserting needles into acupoints, acupuncture stimulates these points, promoting the free flow of Qi throughout the body.

Acupuncture therapy has been proven to help with a variety of conditions and concerns, including pain management, stress reduction, digestive issues, headaches, insomnia, and promoting overall well-being. It is a form of preventative medicine, like massage therapy, which addresses both physical and emotional aspects of health.

Clinical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to restore balance and promote overall well-being. Our Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners honour your journey and tailor the treatment to your needs and comfort level.

The needles used are extremely thin and typically don’t cause any pain or discomfort. The stimulation of acupoints actually triggers the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other natural chemicals within your body, which can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, regain energy, and induce a sense of relaxation.

Acupuncture is renowned for its ability to provide a wide range of physical and psychological benefits towards achieving optimal health. Its holistic approach to healing addresses not only the symptoms but also underlying imbalances in the body.

Gentle and Precise Needle Insertion

Once your treatment plan is established, it’s time for the main event: acupuncture! Rest assured, our acupuncturists are highly trained and experienced in delivering painless needle insertions. The ultra-thin needles used in acupuncture are carefully placed at specific acupuncture points on your body. Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort, with some even reporting a soothing sensation of warmth or tingling.

Soft music and dim lighting create the perfect ambiance for your body and mind to enter a state of deep relaxation.

Duration and Frequency

The duration of an acupuncture session can vary, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on your unique needs, our acupuncturists will recommend an optimal treatment frequency. While some individuals may experience immediate relief, others may require a series of sessions to achieve long-lasting results.

Experience Lasting Benefits

As your acupuncture journey unfolds, you can expect to experience a wide range of benefits. From pain relief and stress reduction to improved sleep and heightened immune function, acupuncture can unlock your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.

When acupuncture is performed by a qualified and licensed practitioner at our acupuncture clinic, it is entirely safe. The needles used in our acupuncture clinic are sterile and disposable.

To reduce our environmental impact, we use Acufast acupuncture needles for our treatments. These high-quality needles come in biodegradable packaging and use minimal plastic materials, with bulk packaging available as an option.

It is important to communicate openly with your acupuncturist about any pre-existing medical conditions, medications you are taking, and any health concerns, or questions you may have regarding the clinical treatment. This will give us the insight we need to guide you on your path of rejuvenation and vitality.

The frequency of treatments at acupuncture clinics depends on several factors, such as the nature of your condition, its severity, and your body’s response to the therapy. In some cases, a single session may be sufficient, while in others, multiple sessions may be required. Initially, it is common to have more frequent treatments, such as one to three times per week. As symptoms improve, sessions may be spaced out to once every few weeks or once a month for maintenance and preventive care.

It is important to follow the treatment schedule recommended by your acupuncturist at The Acupuncture Oasis and discuss any changes or adjustments based on your progress, health goals and individual needs.

Before your acupuncture session, there are a few things you can do to prepare:

Eat a Light Meal or Snack

It’s advisable not to have a heavy meal right before your appointment, as it may cause discomfort during the treatment. However, it’s also important not to come on an empty stomach, as low blood sugar levels can increase the risk of lightheadedness, nausea and vomiting afterwards.

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the areas where the acupuncturist will insert the needles. This will ensure a more relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Communicate Openly

During your initial consultation and throughout the treatment process, communicate openly with your acupuncturist. Discuss any concerns, symptoms, or changes in your health so that the treatment can be tailored to your needs.

After your acupuncture session, it’s essential to take care of yourself and follow any post-treatment instructions provided by your acupuncturist. These instructions may include:

Rest and Relax

Take some time to rest and allow the effects of the treatment to integrate into your body. Avoid strenuous activities immediately after the massage session.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Monitor Your Symptoms

Pay attention to any changes in your symptoms or overall well-being and inform your acupuncturist during your next session.
