When provided by a qualified practitioner, acupuncture is generally well tolerated. Most people feel only a light tap, pressure or dull ache when the needles are placed. At ChiroMotion, sterile single-use needles are used for every treatment. If you are nervous or it is your first acupuncture appointment, your practitioner will explain each step and check your comfort throughout the session.

Your first acupuncture appointment at ChiroMotion includes a discussion of your symptoms, injury history, ACC claim details if relevant, movement concerns and treatment goals before your practitioner recommends a suitable care plan.

Yes, ChiroMotion offers Chinese acupuncture in East Tamaki using traditional acupuncture techniques and supportive therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, Tui Na or TENS where appropriate.

Cupping therapy may be used alongside acupuncture to support tight muscles, circulation, tension relief and injury recovery, especially for clients dealing with back tension, neck tightness, shoulder discomfort or sports-related strain.

The number of acupuncture sessions you need depends on your condition, symptoms, injury history and how your body responds, with ACC-related injuries, back pain, neck pain, sciatica-type symptoms and ongoing muscle tension often requiring a tailored treatment plan.
