Acupuncture for Chronic Ailments at a glance
Acupuncture is a therapy in which very fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points on the body to stimulate nerves, improve circulation and support the body's own healing response. At Srihouse Luna it is used as a complementary therapy for long-standing concerns such as pain, digestive issues, sleep problems, stress and hormonal imbalance, alongside your regular medical care.
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture has been practised for more than two thousand years and is now used in hospitals and clinics around the world. From a modern point of view, the needles stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue, which influences pain signals, blood flow and the nervous system. Traditional practice describes this as restoring the balanced flow of energy through the body.

Acupuncture for Chronic Ailments: frequently asked questions
Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are much thinner than injection needles. Most people feel a tiny prick or a dull, heavy sensation, and many fall asleep during the session.
Are acupuncture needles safe?
Yes. We use sterile, single-use disposable needles that are opened in front of you and discarded after the session.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
Long-standing concerns usually need six to ten sessions, once or twice a week, before reviewing progress. Some people feel better after the first few sessions.
Can I continue my medicines during acupuncture?
Yes. Never stop or change prescribed medicines without talking to your doctor. Acupuncture works alongside medical treatment.
Results vary from person to person. Session numbers and timelines are typical guides that we confirm at your consultation. Acupuncture and wellness therapies complement, and do not replace, care from your doctor. Read our medical disclaimer.
