What is a Transaction?

Acupuncture is a treatment based on traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific areas of the body. It aims to regulate the flow of energy (Qi) in the body and can be effective in many different areas such as pain management, stress reduction and sleep regulation. Acupuncture is used to improve overall health by supporting the body’s own healing process.

How is it done?

Acupuncture treatment is performed by our specialists in our clinic in Çiğli, Izmir. First, the patient’s general health condition and complaints are evaluated. Then, thin and sterile needles are carefully inserted into the determined acupuncture points. The needles are inserted into the energy channels (meridians) in the body, helping to balance the flow of energy. Each session is personalized to the patient’s needs and usually lasts 15-30 minutes. During the sessions, the patient is usually in a relaxing position and there is usually no discomfort during the procedure, except for a slight stinging sensation.

What are the Symptoms?

Acupuncture treatment can be applied to people with the following symptoms:

• Chronic Pain: Complaints of persistent pain such as back, neck, joint or headaches.

• Sleep Disorders: Insomnia or disturbances in sleep patterns.

What are the Treatment Methods?

• Acupuncture Sessions: Thin needles are inserted into specific points of the body, aiming to regulate the flow of energy.
• Moxotherapy: By applying heat near the needles, heat and energy flow in the body are balanced.
