Why Choose Xi TCM Centre for Acupuncture Treatment in Malaysia?
Health Improvements You Can Expect From TCM Acupuncture
Reduce Chronic and Acute Pain
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and improves blood circulation to affected areas. It reduces inflammation, relaxes tense muscles, and interrupts pain signals sent to the brain.
Effective for:
• Back, neck, and shoulder pain
• Knee osteoarthritis
• Sciatica, tennis elbow
• Migraines and headaches
• Post-injury or surgery recovery
Improve Sleep and Mental Clarity
Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system by calming the overactive “fight-or-flight” response and enhancing parasympathetic activity (rest-and-digest mode). It reduces cortisol levels and balances neurotransmitters linked to sleep and mood.
Effective for:
• Insomnia and trouble falling asleep
• Night waking and restless sleep
• Brain fog, low focus, or poor memory
• Stress-related sleep disruption
Relieve Stress, Anxiety, and Fatigue
Acupuncture activates the body’s relaxation response, increases serotonin and dopamine (the “feel-good” neurotransmitters), and helps reset the nervous system. It offers a drug-free way to manage stress, stabilize mood, and boost mental and physical energy.
Effective for:
• Generalized anxiety or panic
• Chronic fatigue and burnout
• Emotional overwhelm or mood swings
• Post-COVID exhaustion
Regulate Digestion and Immunity
By targeting specific meridians connected to the digestive organs (like the Spleen and Stomach in TCM), acupuncture improves nutrient absorption, reduces inflammation in the gut, and enhances bowel motility. It also strengthens the immune response by promoting white blood cell activity.
Effective for:
• IBS, bloating, acid reflux
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Food sensitivities
• Weak immunity or frequent colds
• Autoimmune-related symptoms

Traditional Acupuncture Techniques Used at Xi TCM Centre
To provide the best acupuncture care, our practitioners at Xi TCM Centre are skilled in various methods of traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Depending on your specific diagnosis and condition, we may utilize one or more of the following techniques at our acupuncture center.
1. Manual Acupuncture
This is the most common form of treatment, where the practitioner manually inserts and stimulates the needles at specific acupoints. The needles may be gently moved to activate the body’s Qi and encourage a healing response. It is a foundational technique for almost all conditions.
2. Moxibustion
This traditional technique involves burning a dried herb called “moxa” (mugwort) on or near the skin at an acupuncture point. The gentle heat produced warms the area, improves circulation, and helps to dispel cold or dampness from the body. It is deeply comforting and is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to support comfort and digestive issues.
