What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body. This technique stimulates the body's energy, or "Qi," improving the flow and promoting self-healing. Acupuncture is proven to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore balance to the body.

Our Approach to Acupuncture
At Aurika Wellness, our acupuncture approach is personalised to your health goals and needs. We start with a thorough consultation to understand your medical history and concerns. After a careful assessment, we develop a treatment plan that targets the root causes of your symptoms.
Using sterilised, disposable needles, our licensed acupuncturists gently insert needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. You may experience a mild, soothing sensation as the needles stimulate your body's healing process. We also offer electro-acupuncture, a modern variation that uses a gentle electrical current to enhance the effects of traditional acupuncture.
