Clinical acupuncture is a scientifically-supported form of traditional Chinese acupuncture offered in modern medical settings like wellness clinics, hospitals, or physiotherapy centers. It involves the insertion of thin, sterile needles into precise acupuncture points on the body to regulate energy flow, stimulate natural healing processes, and reduce symptoms of chronic conditions.
Unlike traditional acupuncture alone, clinical acupuncture integrates Western medical knowledge and is often used in combination with other treatments for optimal results.
Evidence-Based Practice: Backed by global health authorities such as the WHO and NIH, clinical acupuncture is recognized for effectively managing pain, nausea, and stress-related disorders.
Integrated with Modern Medicine: Our certified practitioners combine acupuncture with other therapies such as physiotherapy, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle medicine to enhance overall outcomes.
Safe & Regulated: We ensure sterile environments, personalized treatment plans, and expert needle handling by licensed professionals.
Advanced Techniques Available:
Electroacupuncture (mild electrical stimulation)
Moxibustion (using Chinese herb artemisia vulgaris)
Trigger point acupuncture (for muscle pain)
Traditional Perspective: Stimulates the flow of Qi (vital energy) through meridians to rebalance the body’s energy systems.
Scientific Perspective: Promotes the release of endorphins, improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and modulates the nervous system.
Acupuncture therapy is effective for a wide range of physical and emotional health concerns, including:
Chronic pain relief (back, neck, joints, arthritis, migraines)
Reduction of anxiety, stress, and depression
Improved sleep quality and energy levels
Relief from chemotherapy-induced nausea and fatigue
Enhanced digestion and relief from IBS symptoms

A1: Clinical acupuncture is a modern, evidence-based adaptation of traditional Chinese acupuncture practiced in a medical or clinical setting. It involves inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points along the body’s meridians to stimulate natural healing, restore energy balance (qi), and relieve chronic pain, anxiety, migraines, or digestive issues. At Salubrity Integrative Wellness Clinic, clinical acupuncture is administered by certified professionals who integrate Eastern techniques with Western healthcare practices.
A2: Acupuncture works by stimulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers), improving circulation, and influencing neurotransmitters. Traditional Chinese medicine views it as a method to balance the body’s vital energy (qi). Modern research suggests acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, manage pain, and improve emotional well-being.
A3: Yes, acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a licensed and trained acupuncturist using sterile needles. Minor side effects may include bruising or slight soreness. Serious complications are rare but can occur if improper techniques are used. If you have bleeding disorders, pacemakers, or are pregnant, consult your healthcare provider before treatment.
A4: Clinical acupuncture can be effective for:
Chronic pain (back, neck, arthritis, sciatica)
Migraines and tension headaches
Nausea from chemotherapy or surgery
Anxiety, insomnia, and stress
Digestive issues (eg., IBS, bloating)
Fertility support and hormone balancing
The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture for treating several medical conditions. It’s best used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine.
A5: Most people report little to no pain during acupuncture treatment. The needles are hair-thin and typically cause only a slight prick or tingling sensation. Some patients may experience warmth, heaviness, or a dull ache at certain points, which is a sign that the treatment is working.
A6: To prepare for your acupuncture therapy session:
Wear loose, comfortable clothes.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals beforehand.
Stay hydrated and arrive relaxed.
Share your full medical history and current medications with your acupuncturist to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.
A7: Treatment frequency depends on your specific health condition and response to therapy:
Acute conditions: 1–6 sessions
Chronic issues: 6–12 sessions or more
Maintenance or wellness support: monthly or biweekly
Your practitioner will develop a personalized plan and adjust it based on your progress.
A8: Side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as:
Light bruising or soreness at the needle site
Fatigue or temporary dizziness
Increased energy or emotional release
Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified practitioner. If any unusual symptoms occur after treatment, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
