At Seena Integrative Health Centre, we offer medical acupuncture — a safe, evidence-based method designed to reduce pain, release muscle tension, restore nervous system balance, and help the body return to its natural state of harmony. This is a modern, clinically supported approach endorsed by the World Health Organization and widely used for pain relief, stress reduction, and functional recovery. Medical acupuncture is ideal for people who are tired of living with chronic tension or discomfort and want a gentle, effective solution that goes beyond masking symptoms.

If your goal is not only temporary relief but real functional improvement, this therapy can be an important step toward that.

What is Medical Acupuncture

Unlike traditional acupuncture, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and the concept of energy (Qi) flowing through meridians, medical acupuncture with electrostimulation is based on modern Western medical principles. It focuses on anatomy, nerve pathways, muscle function, and connective tissue.

In this approach, fine needles are placed at specific anatomical or trigger points and connected to a device that delivers a controlled, low-frequency electrical current. This allows for precise stimulation of nerves and muscles, making the treatment especially effective for targeted issues such as pain, inflammation, muscle tension, and certain neurological or digestive conditions. The intensity is carefully adjusted for comfort, and the method is supported by growing scientific evidence in clinical medicine.

We help with:

  • back, neck, and lower-back pain
  • muscle tension, spasms, and trigger points
  • tension headaches and migraines
  • chronic fatigue and burnout
  • anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances
  • joint pain, soft-tissue inflammation, osteoarthritis
  • post-exercise or chronic overload discomfort
  • functional digestive issues
  • recovery after injury or prolonged tension

This method is especially effective when pain or discomfort is linked to muscle overload, stress, disrupted nervous regulation, or a sedentary lifestyle.

What to expect during your session

A medical acupuncture session takes place in a calm, safe environment and typically includes:

  • a brief assessment to understand your condition
  • individualized selection of acupuncture points
  • the use of ultra-thin sterile needles (minimal sensation)
  • gentle stimulation of the nervous and muscular systems
  • deep release of tension in the tissues
  • improved blood flow and local metabolic processes
  • reduction in pain signaling pathways

Many patients report noticeable pain reduction after the first sessions, a sense of warmth, lightness, and deep relaxation, improved sleep, decreased anxiety, and a feeling that “tension finally released”.

Your practitioner will explain the treatment plan and the recommended number of sessions for the best long-term results.

Our unique approach

At Seena, medical acupuncture is not treated as an isolated technique — it is part of a thoughtful, integrated clinical process based on:

  • a physician-led approach
  • in-depth anatomical and neurological knowledge
  • evidence-based therapy protocols
  • careful assessment of your condition
  • personalized treatment strategies
  • gentle, precise, and safe application

We don’t simply place needles — we address the root cause: muscle patterns, nervous system regulation, stress, overload, sleep quality, and movement habits. This approach helps to reduce pain faster, relax deeply held tension, support nervous system recovery, improve sleep and emotional balance, restore energy levels, and, as a result, increase overall wellbeing.

If you feel “constantly tense,” “tight everywhere,” “unable to relax,” or “drained,” medical acupuncture can help your body reset and return to a state of comfort and stability.
