What is Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique that has been practised for over 2,000 years. Originating in China, it is a cornerstone of TCM traditional chinese medicine, focusing on pain management, illness prevention, and overall well-being.
At Regis Wellness TCM Clinic, we integrate centuries-old wisdom with modern advancements to offer personalised acupuncture treatments tailored to your specific health needs. Whether you are seeking relief from chronic pain, stress, hormonal imbalances, or other health concerns, our TCMPB-registered acupuncturists are here to guide you toward better health.
Acupuncture is not just about symptom relief—it is about restoring harmony within your body and mind, allowing you to achieve optimal health naturally. By rebalancing your energy flow (Qi) and stimulating your body's natural healing mechanisms, acupuncture promotes holistic well-being and long-term vitality.
How does TCM Acupuncture work
Acupuncture works by restoring the smooth flow of Qi (气) in the body. Blockages in Qi can lead to pain, discomfort, and illness. By inserting fine, sterilised, single-use stainless steel needles—each as thin as human hair—into specific acupuncture points, acupuncture helps:
- Relieve pain naturally by triggering the release of endorphins.
- Improve blood circulation and oxygenation to promote healing.
- Regulate the nervous system and reduce stress.
- Strengthen the immune system for better overall health.
With precise and strategic needle placement, acupuncture supports the body's natural ability to heal, allowing you to experience long-lasting relief and improved well-being.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the most well-known and widely practised techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This ancient healing method involves the precise insertion of ultra-fine, sterile needles into specific acupoints located along the body’s meridians — the pathways through which vital energy, or Qi (气), flows. When Qi is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain, illness, or fatigue. By stimulating these targeted points, acupuncture works to restore balance, regulate the flow of energy, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Acupuncture is used in Singapore and worldwide to manage a wide range of health concerns, from chronic pain, migraines, and digestive issues to hormonal imbalances, stress, and sleep disorders. It is a safe, drug-free therapy that not only addresses symptoms but also promotes overall wellness by improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and supporting the immune response. At Regis Wellness TCM Clinic, each acupuncture session is personalised, ensuring that your treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and long-term health goals.
Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture is a modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture that combines ancient principles with advanced therapeutic technology. In this method, gentle electrical pulses are applied to acupuncture needles once they are inserted into selected acupoints. These low-frequency currents provide consistent, controlled stimulation, which can increase the effectiveness of the treatment by encouraging deeper muscle relaxation, improving local blood flow, and enhancing nerve function.
This technique is particularly beneficial for conditions involving nerve pain, muscle stiffness, and sports injuries, as it can help accelerate tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Patients often find Electro-Acupuncture especially effective for chronic pain syndromes, post-surgical recovery, and rehabilitation after musculoskeletal injuries. At Regis Wellness, our practitioners carefully adjust the intensity and frequency of the electrical stimulation to ensure both comfort and optimal therapeutic results.
Infrared Therapeutic Lamp
Infrared Therapeutic Lamp is a heat-based therapy. During an acupuncture session, the Infrared Therapeutic Lamp is positioned over the treated area to emit gentle heat, which penetrates deep into the muscles and tissues. This warmth enhances blood circulation, relaxes muscles, and amplifies the healing effects of acupuncture by promoting Qi (energy) flow and reducing inflammation. The infrared heat helps to relieve pain, accelerate recovery, and improve overall treatment outcomes, making it a valuable complement to traditional acupuncture therapy.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Many patients in Singapore turn to TCM acupuncture not just for symptom relief, but for its ability to address the root causes of health issues. By rebalancing the flow of Qi (vital energy) and improving blood circulation, acupuncture supports the body’s natural healing processes and promotes long-term well-being. Some of the most well-documented benefits include:
Pain Relief for Chronic Conditions, Injuries, and Inflammation
Acupuncture is recognised for its ability to naturally relieve pain by stimulating the release of endorphins — the body’s own painkillers. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as arthritis, back and neck pain, migraines, and sports injuries, providing a drug-free alternative to pain management.
Improved Blood Circulation
By enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, acupuncture helps accelerate recovery, reduce swelling, and relax tight muscles. This improved circulation can also support skin health and aid in the removal of toxins from the body.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
In the fast-paced environment of Singapore, many patients seek acupuncture for its calming effects on the nervous system. By lowering cortisol levels and regulating mood-related neurotransmitters, acupuncture can reduce stress, anxiety, and tension headaches, helping you feel more balanced and relaxed.
Hormonal Balance for Better Sleep, Mood, and Reproductive Health
Acupuncture can help regulate the endocrine system, supporting healthy menstrual cycles, easing menopause symptoms, improving fertility outcomes, and stabilising mood swings. Many women use acupuncture as a complementary therapy for IVF and hormonal imbalances.
Better Digestive Health
For those struggling with bloating, indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or acid reflux, acupuncture can help by regulating digestive function and reducing inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. This makes it a valuable therapy for both acute and chronic digestive concerns.
Enhanced Immunity to Prevent Illness
By boosting the body’s immune response, acupuncture can help ward off common illnesses such as colds and flu, as well as reduce the frequency of infections. This immune-boosting effect is especially beneficial during seasonal changes and periods of high stress.
Improved Sleep Quality
Whether you struggle with falling asleep, waking up frequently, or experiencing restless nights, acupuncture can help calm the mind, relax the body, and regulate sleep-wake cycles, making it an effective natural approach for insomnia.
Faster Recovery from Surgery, Fatigue, and Sports Injuries
Acupuncture supports tissue healing and reduces post-operative pain, making it useful for rehabilitation after surgery. Athletes and active individuals also use acupuncture to recover faster from muscle fatigue, sprains, and overuse injuries.
Better Mental Clarity and Focus
By optimising blood flow to the brain and reducing mental fatigue, acupuncture can enhance concentration, memory, and decision-making ability — particularly helpful for busy professionals and students in Singapore.
Overall Wellness and Vitality
Regular acupuncture sessions can help maintain a healthy balance in both body and mind, reducing the risk of illness, increasing energy levels, and supporting emotional stability. This makes acupuncture not only a treatment for existing issues but also a preventive measure for long-term health.

Acupuncture is a cornerstone of TCM that has been practised for thousands of years. It involves the insertion of single-use, stainless steel needles—about the size of a human hair—into specific points on the body to restore the flow of Qi (气), the body’s vital energy. This helps balance natural rhythms, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness.
At Regis Wellness, we take a holistic approach to your health. Our acupuncture treatments are designed to address a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, insomnia, fertility concerns, and overall well-being.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points in the body to encourage the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Whether you’re looking to ease muscle tension, boost energy levels, or reduce anxiety, acupuncture can help bring your body back into harmony.
