In the fast-paced modern urban lifestyle, characterized by long hours of sedentary office work and frequent sports injuries, more Singaporeans are suffering from various acute and chronic conditions. These include neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, insomnia, gastritis, dizziness, chest tightness, and menstrual irregularities. Instead of relying solely on long-term medication or surgery, many are turning to natural, side-effect-free therapies. As a core component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture has become an ideal choice for improving body function and relieving pain due to its proven efficacy, high safety profile, and wide range of applications.
Acupuncture Treatment & Pain Management
What Does Acupuncture Treat? How TCM Effectively Relieves Pain, Treats Illness, and Improves Overall Health
Principles and Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture stimulates specific acupoints to activate the body's meridian system and regulate the flow of Qi and blood. This restores organ function and achieves the dual goals of treatment and health preservation. According to classic TCM theory: 'Where there is blockage, there is pain; where there is nourishment, there is no pain.' Acupuncture follows the principles of 'unblocking meridians, harmonizing Qi and blood, and balancing Yin and Yang' to promote comprehensive recovery.
