Traditional Acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles dating back nearly 2,000 years. Its main goal is restoring the body’s balance.
The earliest known Chinese medical text, The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic, originates between the first century BC and AD. Consequently, all modern acupuncture styles trace their roots to this book.
Remarkably, ancient scholars discovered biomedical principles without modern tools. Therefore, traditional acupuncturists understand the body scientifically while using Chinese medicine terminology.

How Can Acupuncture Help Me?
Acupuncture Worcester supports a wide range of conditions, from specific complaints to general fatigue, low energy, and feelings of unwellness.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Treatment frequency depends on your condition. Initially, we usually recommend weekly sessions.
Some patients feel benefits after one or two treatments. Chronic or long-standing conditions often need more sessions. Once your health stabilizes, occasional top-up treatments may help maintain balance. Many people also enjoy seasonal ‘re-tuning’ sessions to support long-term well being.
What Does Acupuncture Feel Like?
Most people find acupuncture deeply relaxing. Needle sensations are often described as tingling or a gentle dull ache, showing the body’s Qi has been stimulated.
I’m Afraid of Needles—Can I Still Have Treatment?
Yes. Acupuncture needles are very fine, much thinner than injection needles. Many patients barely feel them, and they are minimally noticeable once inserted.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Avoid large meals within one hour of your session, as digestion can affect pulse readings.
Do not consume alcohol or strongly colored drinks like coffee or tea. Wear loose clothing so points, especially on the legs, are accessible.
After Your Treatment
You will likely feel relaxed and calm. Some may feel tired or drowsy after strong sessions, so plan activities accordingly.
Are There Side Effects?
Acupuncture has very few side effects. Any mild effects, like minor bruising, are temporary and self-correcting.
Should I Inform My Doctor?
Yes. If you are under medical treatment, your doctor should know. Your acupuncturist also needs details of any medications, as they can affect treatment response.
Can Acupuncture Reduce Medication?
Acupuncture Worcester may reduce or eliminate some medications. However, always consult your doctor before making changes. Never stop medication without professional guidance.
