What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses fine, sterile needles inserted into specific points on the body to promote natural healing. These points are located along energy pathways (meridians) that help rebalance the flow of energy (Qi). At Pinehill Physio, we combine this with evidence-based physiotherapy for powerful results.

Key Features

  • Uses ultra-thin, sterile needles
  • Targets energy pathways (meridians)
  • Stimulates natural healing processes
  • Integrates with physiotherapy and rehab plans
  • Safe, drug-free, and minimally invasive

Acupuncture FAQs – Auckland Patients Guide

Does acupuncture hurt?

It depends on your condition. Acute issues may improve within 3–5 sessions, while chronic pain may require ongoing care.
Is dry needling different from acupuncture?
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points and is often used in physio. Acupuncture is more holistic, using meridian points. We offer both based on your needs.
Yes, if your injury is ACC-approved, we can treat you with ACC-covered acupuncture.
