Acupuncture treatment at Piraluna

Acupuncture

Fine needles at precise points to reduce pain, calm your nervous system, and improve sleep. Most patients are surprised by how relaxed they feel during treatment.

Patient Stories

What our patients say

Real experiences from people who walked through our door feeling stuck and left feeling different.

"I’ve been suffering from awful neck pain so visited this clinic for some TCM. I had a warm welcome, it appeared very clean and my practitioner Claire was excellent, friendly, helpful and clearly very experienced. I left feeling much better and the absolutely terrible neck pain has been alleviated which feels like some kind of miracle considering I’ve already had two rounds of physio without much change. I would highly recommend Claire!"

"Dr Claire is honestly a walking Wikipedia with a heart. I came in feeling confused, frustrated and very over being medically gaslit, and left feeling actually listened to, understood and supported. I went mainly for period issues and stubborn weight gain, and she created a treatment plan just for me. I saw a noticeable improvement with my very next cycle, which felt nothing short of a small miracle."

"If you’re struggling with a herniated disc, go see Claire from Piraluna Clinic. I’ve seen a huge improvement already halfway through my 5-session course. Not only is she skilled, but her attitude is so encouraging and supportive. I’ll definitely be buying more sessions to continue my healing journey."

What We Treat

The real reasons people walk through our door

Based on the patients we see every week, these are the conditions that bring people to Piraluna. Most arrive with more than one.

Neck, Shoulder and Back Pain

Half of our patients walk in with tension locked in their neck, shoulders, or lower back. Whether it is from desk work, travel, or years of carrying stress in your body, acupuncture and cupping release what stretching and massage alone cannot reach.

Stress and Overthinking

Nearly six out of ten patients tell us they cannot stop overthinking. Add poor sleep, tension headaches, and a body that will not relax, and you have a pattern acupuncture is built to break. Treatment calms your nervous system and helps your body remember what rest actually feels like.

Book for this →

Sleep Problems

Trouble falling asleep, waking through the night, or getting up still exhausted. Almost eight out of ten patients report at least one sleep issue, often tied to the pain or stress they originally came in for. TCM treats the underlying cause so your body can settle into deep, restorative sleep.

Women's Health

Painful periods, mood swings before your cycle, irregular bleeding, and the fog that comes with hormonal shifts. One in three women who visit us report both physical and emotional symptoms tied to their hormones. TCM works with your body's natural rhythms to restore balance.

Fatigue and Low Energy

Waking up tired, dragging through the afternoon, running on willpower instead of actual energy. Over half our patients report fatigue, even when they originally came in for something else entirely. TCM finds what is depleted and rebuilds it from the inside.

Book for this →

Digestive Issues

Bloating after meals, acid reflux, irregular bowel movements, and that heavy feeling in your stomach. More than half of our patients deal with digestive discomfort alongside their other symptoms. In TCM, digestion is central to everything. Fix the gut and the rest often follows.

First Time?

What to expect at your first visit

If you have never tried acupuncture before, here is everything you need to know.

Does acupuncture hurt? +
Most patients are surprised by how little they feel. The needles are hair-thin — nothing like an injection. Many people fall asleep during treatment. You might feel a mild tingling or warmth, which is a sign the treatment is working.
How long is each session? +
Your first session is 75 minutes. This includes a full consultation where Claire reviews your health history, checks your pulse and tongue, and builds a treatment plan. Follow-up sessions are typically 60 minutes.
How many sessions will I need? +
It depends on your condition. Many patients feel noticeably better after one session. For acute issues, 3 sessions is common. For chronic conditions, a longer course delivers the best results. Claire will give you an honest recommendation at your first visit.
Do I need to prepare anything? +
Just wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid coming on an empty stomach. No referral is needed. You can book online and walk in — it is that simple.
