People consider acupuncture for different reasons. Below are some of the areas our patients enquire about. These are topics for consultation, rather than a list of conditions that acupuncture has been proven to treat.
Acupuncture is considered in NICE guidance for the prevention of certain types of headache and migraine, under specific conditions. It is not suitable for every type of headache.
People may consider acupuncture for neck discomfort or muscle tension. Evidence for short-term relief varies, and persistent symptoms may need medical assessment.
Chronic pain has many possible causes. We discuss individual concerns and the evidence for acupuncture, recognising that clinical recommendations differ between conditions.
Some people explore acupuncture as part of their relaxation and wellbeing routine. We can discuss the experience and the limits of evidence for stress-related conditions.
Sleep concerns and poor recovery can affect daily wellbeing. We welcome questions about acupuncture while recognising that it is not an established treatment for insomnia.
Considering acupuncture alongside fertility treatment or IVF? We can discuss relevant precautions and the limitations of current research, including the uncertainty around IVF outcomes.
People sometimes enquire about acupuncture in relation to digestive discomfort or bloating. Persistent or unexplained symptoms should receive appropriate medical assessment.
Our approach to healthy ageing focuses on personal wellbeing and informed choices. Acupuncture is not a proven way to reverse ageing or extend lifespan.
Acupuncture is a practice used in Traditional Chinese Medicine involving the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body.
At Dapeng Clinic, we take a personalised approach, considering each patient’s concerns, medical history and individual circumstances when discussing treatment.
Discuss your health concerns, medical history and what you would like to know about acupuncture.
Your practitioner explains the proposed treatment and any relevant precautions before proceeding.
Discuss your individual circumstances, treatment options and realistic expectations.
Review any recommended next steps and whether a follow-up appointment is appropriate.

Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles and carries some risks. Temporary soreness, minor bleeding or bruising may occur; serious complications are uncommon but possible.
Please inform your practitioner about relevant medical conditions, medication and pregnancy before treatment. Acupuncture is not a replacement for necessary medical diagnosis or treatment.
Sensations vary. You may feel a brief prick, tingling or dull ache. Tell your practitioner if you feel uncomfortable.
No. Suitability depends on your medical history, medication, pregnancy status and other individual factors.
There is no standard number for everyone. Any recommended course should be discussed in relation to your circumstances and the available evidence.
NICE considers acupuncture for migraine prevention in specific circumstances when certain standard preventive medicines are ineffective, unsuitable or not tolerated. It is not a general recommendation for all migraines.
There is currently insufficient reliable evidence to establish that acupuncture improves IVF success rates. Discuss any complementary treatments with your fertility team.
You can request an appointment with Dr Zhang through our booking page, or contact the clinic by phone or email. Appointment availability will be confirmed separately.
