Acupuncture Sydney
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into various areas of the body to trigger a therapeutic response. It can be used in a wide range of conditions, from external issues such as sporting injuries and chronic pain to more internal conditions including stress, fatigue, digestive issues and sleep difficulties.
At Village Remedies Sydney acupuncture clinics in Balmain and the CBD, we have experience working with clients who have presented with issues such as:
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck and back pain
- Joint pain
- Nerve pain
- Sporting injuries
- IBS and digestive disorders
- Insomnia
- Hormonal imbalances and menstrual issues
- Fertility
- Stress and anxiety
- Chronic fatigue
- And many more
There is no one style or form of acupuncture; instead, acupuncture needles may be used in a variety of ways to better suit the client and/or the condition. At Village Remedies Sydney, our practitioners all have extensive training in various acupuncture methods that we have found to be effective for our clients. We are also continuously learning and developing to bring the most benefit to those we see in our clinics.
Approaches of acupuncture can be split in to two main categories:
- Distal Acupuncture - This involves the use of points distant to or away from the affected area— for example, there are points on the hand traditionally indicated for lower back pain. The distal points we use are mostly on the arms, hands, legs and feet, making it convenient to treat multiple issues at once. This is our preferred method of treatment as there is usually very quick feedback and we are able to treat internal imbalances as well as pain. See our distal acupuncture page for more information.
- Local Acupuncture - This makes use of points within the affected tissues of an injury, pain or dysfunction. While this can be an effective treatment for certain conditions and at certain stages of recovery, there is an increased risk of aggravating an already irritated and/or inflamed area and causing an increase in pain initially, particularly if the practitioner is not precise and too aggressive with needling. Dry needling falls into this category of treatment, as do motor point acupuncture and electro acupuncture.
At Village Remedies Sydney acupuncture clinics in Balmain and CBD, we use a combination of distal and local acupuncture treatments such as dry needling (or “ashi” needling), motor point acupuncture and electro acupuncture to best suit each person and their condition. Your practitioner will be able to determine what treatments will be most effective for you and work with you towards recovery.

The key benefits of acupuncture treatments
Acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years. Today, it is recognised worldwide for its ability to treat a wide range of physical, mental and emotional health issues and conditions. Below are the benefits you can get from acupuncture treatments:
Pain relief and management
One of the most well-known benefits of acupuncture is its effectiveness in managing and relieving pain. Whether it's chronic back pain, neck tension, arthritis or migraines, acupuncture treatments can significantly reduce discomfort.
Enhanced mental clarity and stress reduction
Acupuncture is proven to reduce stress and anxiety levels, promoting a state of relaxation and well-being. By targeting specific points, acupuncture treatment can help balance the body's balance, leading to improved mental clarity and a reduction in stress-related symptoms.
Improved sleep quality
Many individuals turn to acupuncture for relief from insomnia and other sleep disorders. By calming the mind and regulating the body's natural rhythms, acupuncture promotes healthier sleep patterns, leading to more restful nights and energised days.
Digestive system regulation
Acupuncture is beneficial for promoting digestive health. It can help alleviate symptoms of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation and bloating, ensuring better nutrient absorption and overall digestive function.
