Choosing the Right Traditional Acupuncturist

Traditional acupuncture should not be confused with ‘Dry Needling Acupuncture’ currently offered by the NHS and many pain management clinics. Dry needling (also known as trigger point acupuncture) focuses on localised symptoms and not the deeper root causes treated by traditional approaches. Furthermore, traditional acupuncture requires several years of training compared with a few days of dry needling short courses for medical professionals. Always check the length of training the practitioner has had specifically in acupuncture and if they are offering traditional treatments based on a differential diagnosis. This basically means that one approach does not fit all, and a traditional acupuncturist will look at deep underlying causes and treat the ‘whole individual’ and not just a symptom.

Frequently Asked Questions | Traditional Acupuncture Kingston upon Thames

Traditional acupuncture is a natural healing treatment rooted in Chinese medicine. It involves inserting ultra-fine needles into specific points along the body’s meridian pathways to rebalance energy (Qi), promote circulation, and encourage the body’s own healing response.

Acupuncture works by stimulating nerves, muscles, and connective tissue, which boosts blood flow and triggers the release of natural painkillers like endorphins. Many clients report reduced pain from conditions like arthritis, migraines, back pain, and sciatica after just a few sessions.
