Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese acupuncture treatment that has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural healing ability. By gently inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints, this TCM acupuncture method helps regulate Qi and blood flow, relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and restore internal balance. It is a safe, evidence-informed therapy commonly used for pain, stress, sleep issues, digestive concerns, and overall wellness, making it one of the most widely practiced healing treatments in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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.
