Acupuncture can treat multiple conditions and health issues including injuries and fertility problems

Although many health issues and chronic pains are more complicated than they appear, acupuncture can work like a charm for:

post-injury and post-surgical rehabilitation
back/neck issues
headaches and migraine
stress and anxiety

pain/stiffness in the shoulder, back, and pelvic area
insomnia
birth preparation
mobility improvement

Aimed at rebalancing the body’s energy and stimulating its natural healing potential, acupuncture may be effective on its own or when combined with conventional therapies like vacuum cupping.

When you visit Ponsonby Wellness Centre for a session, you can expect to receive professional ACC acupuncture treatments. We’re proud to be one of the accredited ACC treatment providers here in NZ.

Our experts also specialize in traditional Chinese herbal medicine.
