Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that uses fine needles to support balance, regulation, and physical and emotional wellbeing.
A whole-system approach to supporting balance, regulation, and wellbeing.
Acupuncture is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a system of healthcare developed over thousands of years. It works with the body as an interconnected whole, aiming to support balance between body systems and strengthen the body’s natural capacity to regulate and adapt.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. These points are selected according to TCM principles and your individual presentation, rather than a fixed diagnosis or symptom list.
At Core Clapton, acupuncture sessions are calm, attentive, and tailored to you. Treatment is guided by a detailed consultation and ongoing dialogue, with care taken to ensure you feel comfortable and supported throughout. Sessions are adapted to your capacity on the day and may change over time as your needs evolve.
Acupuncture can be used to support a wide range of physical and emotional concerns, or as part of ongoing care to maintain balance and resilience.

Traditional Chinese Medicine views symptoms as part of broader patterns within the body. Acupuncture aims to support these patterns by encouraging balance and regulation across systems.
Acupuncture may help to:
Many people notice changes not only in specific symptoms, but in their overall sense of wellbeing and body awareness.
People come to acupuncture for many different reasons, including:
You don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit. Many people choose acupuncture because they want a holistic approach that considers the whole person.
Your first session includes a comprehensive consultation informed by Traditional Chinese Medicine, exploring your health history, current concerns, and overall wellbeing. Treatment is then tailored to your individual presentation.
During treatment, you’ll rest comfortably while needles are gently inserted and left in place for a short period. Most people find sessions deeply relaxing. Sensations can vary and are discussed throughout to ensure your comfort.
Sessions take place in a calm, supportive environment, with time at the end to rest and integrate the treatment.
Acupuncture at Core Clapton is provided by qualified practitioners trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. We use single-use, sterile needles and work within clear safety and clinical guidelines. Any relevant health considerations are discussed before treatment to ensure care is appropriate and supportive.
