Acupuncture for Pain Relief: What to Expect and How It Works
Pediatrics
Apr 2, 2025
Pain can affect every part of life — from how you move to how you sleep and even your mood. For many people, acupuncture offers a natural, low‑risk way to manage pain and improve quality of life. At Junyu’s Acupuncture and Massage Clinic in Browns Plains, we see clients every week who are looking for effective, personalised relief from both acute and long‑term pain conditions.
With over 37 years of clinical experience, JunYu Zhou uses acupuncture as part of a tailored treatment plan that addresses not just symptoms, but also the underlying causes of discomfort.
How Acupuncture Works for Pain
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to influence energy flow (Qi) and stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
From a modern clinical perspective, research suggests acupuncture may help by:
Promoting blood flow to injured or tight muscles
Releasing endorphins, the body’s natural pain‑relieving chemicals
Reducing inflammation in affected tissues
Balancing the nervous system to reduce pain sensitivity
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be applied to a wide range of pain conditions, including:
Neck and back pain
Shoulder injuries, frozen shoulder
Tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome
Sciatica and lower back pain
Arthritic pain
Headaches and migraines
Muscle strains and sports injuries
At our clinic, we work with each client to ensure treatment is adapted to their specific condition, medical history, and comfort level.
What to Expect in a Session
A typical acupuncture session for pain relief lasts around 60 minutes. Here’s how it works:
Initial Consultation – We take a detailed history of your symptoms, general health, and any previous treatments.
Treatment Plan – JunYu identifies the most appropriate acupuncture points and explains the process.
Acupuncture Treatment – Fine needles are inserted and may remain in place for 20–30 minutes while you rest.
Follow‑Up Care – Depending on your needs, we may recommend additional sessions, herbal medicine, cupping, or massage to complement the acupuncture.
Most people find the process relaxing, and many notice a reduction in pain immediately or within a few sessions.
