Chi House Clinic a special interest in treating musculoskeletal injuries with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine

We recommend getting all your investigations prior to your session. We have many years of training in treating musculoskeletal pain with acupuncture. We expect to see some results (pain reduction and improved range of motion) in one session. How many treatments are required depends on the type of injury, whether it’s acute or chronic, and your overall state of health. 

Your body is an incredible self-healing device, and acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work at restoring this ability and in rewiring the pain neurons and altering the chemicals involved in this process.

Different categories of pain

Almost everyone has experienced some form of pain, but what exactly is pain?

What exactly is pain?

The most reliable definition is by the International Association for the Study of Pain. They describe pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage”. Although pain is an important physiological function, acting as a warning sign of damage, this mechanism can become unregulated. When this is the case our quality of life is greatly diminished and many times it affects our mental and emotional health. Different categories of pain include:

Acute injury

Involves a sudden onset, such as an accident resulting in a sprain or broken bone. The nature of this pain is sharp and swollen.

Chronic pain

Pain that persists more than 3 months. This kind of pain often presents as lower back pain, arthritis, and migraines, just to name a few. This kind of pain impacts normal daily life, and many times requires consistent management.

Auto-immune inflammatory pain

The body attacks its own tissue, which leads to chronic inflammation and then pain.

Organ pain

This kind of pain is arising from the organs and is often sharp. Most commonly presents as appendicitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) cramping and kidney stones.

Emotional pain

Depression, anxiety, grief, anger and discontent, are all states that reduce the quality of life.

FAQS

With these natural pain treatments, how long do I have to wait till I see results?

This greatly varies according to the individual case. Variable factors to consider are the kind of pain being treated and state of individual health. Generally, acute conditions respond to treatment faster, whilst chronic issues may require more sessions. Consistent treatment and adhering to a personalised treatment plan are important factors in achieving more efficient results.

How often should I have acupuncture for pain?

This depends on the type of pain and its duration. However, in general, we recommend 1 x weekly sessions for the first month or so, and then more spread out after that. In some cases of more chronic and intensely severe pain, we recommend twice weekly. We construct a treatment according to your personal needs.

What makes your approach to pain management different?

At Chi House Clinic, we treat pain as a signal, not just a symptom to suppress. Our sessions go beyond surface-level relief by addressing the deeper physical, emotional, and energetic imbalances that contribute to pain. By combining classical acupuncture, somatic therapies, and Chinese herbal medicine, we support your body’s natural healing processes and create sustainable, long-term improvements.



Can you treat pain even if I’ve tried everything else?

Yes, we often work with clients who have already explored multiple treatment options with limited success. Our trauma-informed, whole-body approach looks at your unique history, lifestyle, stress levels, and how your nervous system is functioning. By tailoring treatment to your system, we often uncover contributing factors that may have been missed in more conventional care models.





Do I need a diagnosis or scan before booking?

No formal diagnosis is required to begin treatment, though if you already have scans, imaging, or medical reports, they may help guide your treatment plan. We conduct a detailed intake process that includes discussion of your medical history, pain patterns, emotional wellbeing, and other contributing factors to ensure your treatment is safe, targeted, and effective.
