TCM Acupunture Singapore

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a popular Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment option in Singapore for those looking to improve their overall health and well-being.

TCM acupuncture is based on the concept of qi, which is the body’s vital energy. When qi becomes blocked or imbalanced by factors such as wind, cold or dampness, it causes energy flow to be imbalanced and can lead to a variety of health problems. During acupuncture, TCM practitioners use fine, sterile needles inserted at specific acupoints on the body to stimulate qi flow and achieve the desired healing response.

This approach can help with a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, anxiety, digestive issues and insomnia. By promoting a balanced flow of qi, TCM acupuncture can restore your internal energy balance and encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
