Acupuncture
About This Therapy
Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice originating in Chinese medicine that uses fine, sterile needles placed at specific points on the body to support the body's natural processes of regulation and recovery. At Kanasu, acupuncture is offered as a gentle, personalised therapeutic practice, with point selection based on individual symptoms, physical condition, and wellness goals. It is commonly used as part of integrative care for pain management, stress reduction, relaxation, and functional balance. The treatment follows a whole-person approach, considering the relationship between physical discomfort, nervous system activity, sleep, emotional well-being, and overall vitality.

How It Works
A consultation is conducted before the session to understand your health concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, and treatment goals. The practitioner identifies appropriate acupuncture points and gently inserts fine, sterile, single-use needles into selected areas of the body. The needles are retained for a prescribed period while you remain comfortably relaxed on the treatment table. Depending on the therapeutic objective, different point combinations and techniques may be used. The session concludes with careful needle removal followed by a short period of quiet rest.
