Waterford City Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a natural healing practice that has been used for thousands of years to restore balance and promote well-being. It involves the gentle insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”). This process encourages the body’s natural ability to heal and can provide relief from a wide range of physical and emotional conditions.

Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, managing stress, or looking to improve your overall well-being, our experienced practitioners provide personalized treatments in a calming and supportive environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in an acupuncture session?

A typical acupuncture session lasts about 60 minutes. It begins with a consultation to go over your health history, concerns, and goals. Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, you’ll settle into a comfortable position while our practitioner carefully inserts the needles at specific points selected for your condition.

The needles remain in place for about 20-40 minutes, giving your body time to respond to the treatment. Many clients use this time to unwind and enjoy a moment of stillness and relaxation. Our aim is to create a comfortable space where you can experience the full benefits of acupuncture.

What conditions can acupuncture help with?

Many people have reported that acupuncture has helped them with a variety of concerns, including:

Chronic pain conditions such as back pain, migraines, and arthritis

Stress and anxiety management

Improving sleep quality and addressing insomnia

Digestive issues like bloating and IBS

Hormonal imbalances and menstrual irregularities

Boosting energy levels and enhancing overall well-being

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch, tension, or warmth. It is not typically painful, but you may be aware of the needles initially. The needles used are almost as thin as a human hair.

How does it work?

Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. These points correspond to areas where the nervous system, muscles and connective tissues are stimulated.

Acupuncture needles can trigger the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins, which help to reduce pain and inflammation, as well as improve blood circulation and stress. It is thought to influence the body’s autonomic nervous system, which regulates essential functions such as heart rate, digestion and immune response.
