What is Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient technique. Originated from China more than 2,000 years ago, it is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on pain management, illness prevention, and overall well-being. At Regis Medical, our experienced acupuncturists provide personalized treatments for a healthier and more balanced life.

How does Acupuncture work

Acupuncture clears the blockage and restores the balance and flow of Qi (气) within your body. Once your Qi is balanced, it stimulates and restores your body’s natural painkillers and healing functions. 

Acupuncture involves the insertion of sterilised, single-use, stainless steel needles the size of human hair into the acupuncture points of your body.
