Acupuncture

Looking for a natural way to ease pain, improve sleep, or restore balance?

Our Queenstown-based acupuncture team offers evidence-based care tailored to your body, goals, and lifestyle — working alongside our experienced physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and osteopaths for truly integrated care.

Acupuncture is a gentle, effective therapy that supports the body’s natural healing process. Using ultra-fine needles inserted at specific points, acupuncture helps to reduce pain, ease tension, and rebalance your system.

Most people find acupuncture deeply relaxing — many even drift off to sleep during treatment. You may feel a mild sensation of warmth, tingling, or heaviness, but the overall experience is calming and restorative.

Our acupuncture treatments can stand alone or complement other therapies such as chiropractic, physiotherapy, and massage.

Modern research has shown that acupuncture can be highly effective for a wide range of conditions — from pain relief to hormone balance and nervous system support.

Conditions with strong evidence of effectiveness include:

  • Chronic low back pain

  • Tension headaches and migraines

  • Knee osteoarthritis

  • Post-surgical pain and nausea

  • Chemotherapy-related nausea (alongside medication)

  • Allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial)

There is also moderate evidence for benefits with:

  • Neck and shoulder pain

  • Sciatica and pelvic pain

  • Anxiety and insomnia

  • Digestive issues including IBS and constipation

  • Hot flushes and menopausal symptoms

  • Labour pain and pregnancy discomfort

  • Stroke rehabilitation

  • Cancer-related fatigue

  • Smoking cessation support

  • PTSD and emotional regulation

  • Sports injuries, joint pain, and more

If you’re unsure whether acupuncture could help with your specific concern, we’re happy to talk it through with you.
