Acupuncture in Barcelona
Relieve pain and prevent disease with Acupuncture treatments
Acupuncture is a time-honoured approach to relieve pain and for the treatment and prevention of disease. It is an effective and popular form of health care now used in not only holistic health centres and clinics but also in hospitals around the world as an accepted form of treatment for pain. In Australia it is even been trialled in emergency departments and has been found to be a suitable treatment to relieve acute pain.
At our wellness centre in Barcelona we tailor programs that include acupuncture as a treatment for clients who come to us with a variety of conditions including neck or cervical pain, shoulder and back pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, sinus problems, arthritis, tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, sports injuries and stress related disorders.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Balancing health and wellbeing with acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments involve inserting and manipulating fine sterile needles into a point of the one of the 400 or more acupuncture points that can be found on of the body’s meridians to promote health, balance and wellbeing.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) belief is that there are 20 meridians that transport life energy or “qi” in our body.
The acupuncture points are gateways to influence, redirect, increase or decrease the body’s vital substance. The qi flows through the body’s invisible channels, or meridians but sometimes the pathways can become blocked causing an inadequate flow that can lead to bodily dysfunction.
Reasons for this dysfunction can include stress, poor diet, disease, injury, and lifestyle choices.
Acupuncture it is particularly effective in the treatment of disorders and issues concerning:
- Ear, nose & throat
- Respiratory
- Gastrointestinal
- Eye
- Neurological & muscular
- Gynecological
- Stress

What to expect in your acupuncture treatment
In your first treatment our trained acupuncturist will ask you to fill in a form with your details and speak to you about your health history, stress levels and lifestyle, how our body is functioning day-to-day and any concerns you may have about the treatment. This will generally take about 10 minutes.
This information will give the practitioner a global view of your body and indicate to them what channels may be blocked and where they need to focus their attention to put the needles.
Please allow 60 minutes for your treatment.
“Where there is no movement there is pain. Where there is movement there is no pain.”
