Acupuncture is one of the most recognised and trusted Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments in Singapore. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, poor sleep, or simply want to improve your overall wellness, acupuncture offers a natural and holistic way to restore balance in the body.
At Inyeon TCM, our experienced and MOH-approved practitioners provide safe, gentle, and effective acupuncture treatments tailored to your needs. Here’s everything you need to know before your first session.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice where ultra-fine needles are inserted into specific points along the body's meridians. These points help regulate the flow of Qi (energy), improve circulation, and activate the body's natural healing abilities.
While it has been used for thousands of years, acupuncture remains highly relevant today — especially for busy individuals in Singapore seeking natural relief for pain, stress, and fatigue.
Key Benefits of Acupuncture
Many patients choose acupuncture because it offers both immediate relief and long-term benefits:
Relieves pain and discomfort
Effective for headaches, neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, muscle tension, and chronic conditions.
Enhances blood circulation
Improves oxygen and nutrient flow throughout the body.
Boosts overall well-being
Supports better sleep, reduces stress, and enhances mood stability.
Activates natural healing
Helps the body repair itself in a safe, drug-free way.
How Acupuncture Works at Inyeon TCM
Our acupuncture sessions are personalised and gentle, ensuring comfort even for first-time patients. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process:
1. Initial Consultation
Your session begins with a conversation about your:
-
Symptoms
-
Stress level
-
Pain areas
-
Lifestyle and sleep habits
-
Wellness goals
This helps us understand your condition from a holistic TCM perspective.
2. Comprehensive Health Assessment
By using TCM diagnostic methods such as tongue observation, pulse reading, and body analysis, our practitioners determine the best acupuncture points for your treatment.
3. Precise Needle Insertion
Fine, sterile needles are gently inserted into selected acupuncture points.
Most patients feel:
-
A mild tingling
-
Warmth
-
Light pressure
It is generally not painful — the needles are much thinner than injection needles.
4. Relaxation Period
After the needles are placed, you will rest comfortably for about 20–30 minutes. This allows your body to fully respond to the treatment, promoting deeper relaxation and improved energy flow.
Many patients describe this stage as calming and stress-relieving.
5. Needle Removal & Final Consultation
Needles are carefully removed once the session is complete. Your practitioner will then:
-
Explain your treatment results
-
Share observations about your body condition
-
Recommend follow-up sessions if needed
6. Post-Treatment Guidance
You’ll receive simple wellness tips such as:
-
Hydration
-
Light movement
-
Avoiding cold drinks (depending on your condition)
-
Lifestyle habits to support healing
This helps extend the benefits even after you leave the clinic.
