An Ancient Chinese Healing Art for Body and Mind. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that has been used for thousands of years. It involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, believed to correspond to various organs and systems. This method is designed to stimulate the flow of energy, or "Qi", and is traditionally believed to help the body regain balance and support overall well-being.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, thin needles into specific points on the body known as acupoints. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), stimulating these points is believed to help unblock Qi pathways and restore balance, which may support the body's natural healing processes. At Chenming TCM Clinic in Bangkok Chinatown, our Shanghai-trained TCM doctor uses precise needle placement techniques refined through years of clinical training at Shanghai University of TCM. Each treatment is personalised to your individual constitution and health concerns, designed to support your needs whether you are dealing with chronic pain, stress-related conditions, or hormonal concerns.
Benefits of Acupuncture

- Stress & Emotional Support – May help ease stress and anxiety. Some research suggests acupuncture may influence serotonin and dopamine levels.
- Circulation Support – May help support blood flow and nutrient delivery to tissues.
- Immune Support – In TCM theory, balancing the body's energy may support immune function.
- Post-illness Recovery – Traditionally used to support recovery after illness, and may help promote a sense of vitality.

Your first visit begins with a thorough consultation including pulse diagnosis and tongue observation — traditional TCM assessment methods used to understand your constitution and patterns of imbalance. Based on this assessment, our doctor creates a personalised treatment plan. A typical acupuncture session lasts 30–45 minutes, and most patients report feeling deeply relaxed during and after treatment. We typically suggest an initial course of 3–5 sessions for a thorough assessment of your response to treatment, with follow-up visits as needed.
