What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a critical component of traditional Chinese medicine practised for thousands of years.
It involves the insertion of thin needles through the skin at specific points on the body to balance the flow of energy or life force known as “Qi” (pronounced “chee”).
At Vital Qi, we use acupuncture to address various health concerns, including pain management, stress reduction, hormonal balance, and overall wellness.
Our approach integrates traditional and modern techniques to provide effective and personalised treatments.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a myriad of health benefits, making it a versatile treatment option for various conditions:
- Pain Relief: Effective for chronic pain, including back pain, migraines, and arthritis.
- Stress Reduction: Promotes relaxation and helps manage stress and anxiety.
- Hormonal Balance: Assists in regulating hormones, beneficial for conditions like PCOS and menopause.
- Enhanced Fertility: Improves reproductive health and supports fertility treatments.
- Overall Wellness: Boosts the immune system, improves sleep quality, and enhances mental clarity.
At Vital Qi, we are committed to helping you experience these benefits through our tailored acupuncture treatments.

Acupuncture for Chronic Conditions
While acupuncture is well known for alleviating physical pain, its benefits extend to managing chronic conditions that impact overall quality of life. Many people seek acupuncture for issues such as:
- Digestive Disorders: Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, and acid reflux can often be linked to stress and imbalances in the gut. Acupuncture helps regulate digestion by supporting the gut-brain connection and reducing inflammation.
- Autoimmune Conditions: Acupuncture may aid in balancing the immune response for those with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis.
- Respiratory Health: Seasonal allergies, sinusitis, and asthma can be alleviated by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting immune function.
- Chronic Fatigue: Many individuals struggling with persistent exhaustion find relief through acupuncture’s ability to restore energy levels and improve sleep quality.
At Vital Qi, we take a personalised approach to addressing these chronic concerns, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to your unique health needs.
Enhancing Mental and Emotional Well-being Through Acupuncture
The connection between physical health and emotional well-being is undeniable. Acupuncture is a powerful tool for improving mental clarity, reducing anxiety, and fostering emotional balance. By regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, acupuncture naturally supports mood stability and stress resilience.
Our patients often report feeling calmer, more centred, and better equipped to handle daily challenges after acupuncture treatments. Whether you are dealing with stress, mood swings, or emotional burnout, our tailored acupuncture sessions may help restore equilibrium and promote a greater sense of well-being.
Supporting Women’s Health Naturally
Menstrual Health
- For irregular cycles, acupuncture works by supporting the endocrine system and promoting regular ovulation, which is essential for a balanced menstrual cycle.
- For painful periods (dysmenorrhea), acupuncture helps to ease cramping by improving blood flow to the uterus and relaxing muscle tension.
- For heavy or prolonged bleeding, acupuncture may help regulate hormone levels and support the body’s natural clotting and healing mechanisms.
- For conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy to manage pain and support reproductive health.
Fertility Support
- For natural conception, acupuncture helps improve blood circulation to the ovaries and uterus, enhancing egg quality and creating a more receptive uterine lining for implantation.
- For those undergoing IVF, acupuncture is used to regulate hormones, reduce stress, and increase the chances of embryo implantation. Research has shown that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer may improve success rates.
- For male fertility, acupuncture has been linked to improved sperm quality, motility, and count by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing reproductive health.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
- During the first trimester, acupuncture helps alleviate morning sickness, fatigue, and anxiety, supporting a healthy start to pregnancy.
- In the second and third trimesters, acupuncture can relieve common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and insomnia, as well as prepare the body for labour.
- Labour preparation acupuncture, performed in the final weeks of pregnancy, is designed to soften the cervix, encourage optimal baby positioning, and support a smoother birth experience.
- Postpartum recovery, also known as the “fourth trimester,” is a crucial time for new mothers. Acupuncture can help with postpartum fatigue, mood regulation (including postnatal depression), milk supply support, and hormonal balance.
Menopause Management
- Hot flushes and night sweats: Acupuncture regulates body temperature and balances the nervous system, helping to reduce the frequency and intensity of these symptoms.
- Mood swings and anxiety: By stimulating the release of endorphins and serotonin, acupuncture promotes emotional stability and reduces anxiety.
- Sleep disturbances: Many menopausal women struggle with insomnia or restless sleep. Acupuncture has been shown to enhance sleep quality by regulating cortisol levels and supporting relaxation.
- Bone and joint health: As oestrogen levels decline, bone density may decrease, leading to joint pain and stiffness. Acupuncture supports circulation and reduces inflammation, promoting better joint mobility.
