Does acupuncture hurt?

Even when no clear medical diagnosis is given, acupuncture may still be helpful.
Acupuncture focuses not only on individual symptoms but on restoring balance throughout the entire body.

Conditions such as lower back pain and shoulder stiffness often improve as overall body harmony is restored.
In addition, acupuncture is effective in disease prevention and in maintaining long-term health.

In Western medicine, treatment may not proceed if no abnormal findings are detected in medical tests.
Eastern medicine takes a comprehensive approach by examining both the underlying causes of symptoms and the overall condition of the body, allowing for individualized, tailor-made treatment.
Rather than only relieving symptoms, it focuses on restoring balance and activating the body’s natural healing ability.

Needles We Use

We use sterile, single-use acupuncture needles that are as thin as a human hair and insert them shallowly for gentle treatment.
Discomfort is minimal, making acupuncture safe and comfortable even for first-time patients.
When appropriate, a very mild electrical current may be applied to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Treatment Benefits

Acupuncture may help relieve pain such as lower back pain, shoulder stiffness, headaches, and menstrual pain, as well as symptoms including poor appetite, constipation or diarrhea, fatigue, and low energy.
It also supports the regulation of the autonomic nervous system, immune function, and the body’s natural healing ability, enhancing overall recovery.

Because acupuncture has no significant side effects, it can be safely received even by patients undergoing medical treatment, and is well suited for health maintenance and disease prevention.
