Experiencing chronic pain can considerably impact your quality of life, influencing everything from daily activities to mental health. At Southern Right Acupuncture, Gideon specialises in pain management through the skilled application of acupuncture, offering a natural and effective alternative to conventional pain relief methods.

What is pain management?

Pain management with acupuncture involves strategically placing fine needles into specific points in the body, known as acupuncture points.

This practice, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), stimulates the nervous system and facilitates the body’s healing ability. It promotes the release of endorphins and other natural body chemicals that alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and restore health.
