What Is Acupuncture
Precisely inserted needles.
3,000 years of clinical evidence.
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment involving the precise insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body — called acupoints — to regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy) through pathways known as meridians. Modern research confirms that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, releases endorphins, reduces inflammation, and activates the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
At Balancepoint Chinese Med Clinic in Bandra, Mumbai, acupuncture is practiced by India’s youngest licensed acupuncturist alongside a third-generation TCM physician with nearly two decades of clinical experience.
How Does Acupuncture Work
Two frameworks.
One result.
Qi, meridians,
and energetic balance
Illness arises when Qi is blocked or imbalanced across the body’s 14 main meridians. Needle insertion at specific acupoints clears these blockages and restores energetic balance.
Neurotransmitters,
nerves, and endorphins
Needle stimulation activates A-delta and C-fibers in the peripheral nervous system, triggering the release of serotonin, beta-endorphins, and GABA. Studies published in the Archives of Internal Medicine and JAMA Internal Medicine confirm acupuncture’s efficacy beyond placebo for chronic pain, anxiety, and fertility support.
“A meta-analysis of patient-level data from 29 randomised controlled trials concluded that acupuncture is significantly superior to sham and no-acupuncture control for the treatment of chronic pain.”
