Where can acupuncture help?

From pain and tension to fatigue, sleep difficulties, or persistent recurring issues. See how Bai Kang can support your recovery.

You don't always need to know exactly what is wrong.

Sometimes you know clearly what is causing discomfort. Other times, you simply feel your body is out of balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we look not only at isolated symptoms, but at the entire pattern. Treatment is always tailored to your personal situation.

Pain & tension

Physical pain, stiffness, and tension

Physical pain, stiffness, and tension can stem from various causes. During treatment, we look not only at where you feel discomfort, but also at the broader physical pattern surrounding it.

Back pain

Lower back discomfort, morning stiffness, or persistent muscular tension.

Neck pain

Stiff neck, muscle spasms, restricted range of motion, and desk strain.

Shoulder complaints

Discomfort when lifting or rotating, tight shoulder blades, or strained tendons.

Headaches

Tension headaches, a heavy feeling, or pressure radiating from the neck and shoulders.

Migraine

Throbbing attacks, nausea, or sensitivity to light and sound.

Muscle & joint complaints

Overuse, tendon irritation, stiff joints, or restricted mobility.

Stress & sleep

Stress, exhaustion, and sleep difficulties

When tension builds up over time, settling down can become difficult. You often notice it in your sleep, your energy and your mood. Acupuncture can be used to support your body in rediscovering relaxation and a calmer daily rhythm.

Stress & tension

Constantly feeling "on", internal tension, and difficulty letting go.

Sleep problems

Trouble falling asleep, restless sleep, waking frequently, or waking up unrefreshed.

Burnout & exhaustion

Prolonged exhaustion, low energy, and the feeling your reserves are empty, even after rest.

Restlessness & overstimulation

Heightened sensitivity to stimuli, a crowded mind, and emotional restlessness.

Anxiety & panic

Persistent worry, feelings of panic, palpitations, or a tight feeling in the chest.

Low mood

Feeling down, low motivation or energy, and difficulty enjoying everyday life.

Energy & resilience

Fatigue, recovery and resistance

When you consistently lack energy, recover slowly or keep catching something, we look at your overall balance and lifestyle. Acupuncture can be used to support the body in recovering and building resilience.

Fatigue

Persistent tiredness that does not fade with a night of sleep, and difficulty getting through the day.

Long COVID

Persistent fatigue, shortness of breath or difficulty concentrating after a COVID infection.

Fibromyalgia

Widespread pain, stiffness and fatigue, often accompanied by poor sleep.

Hay fever & allergies

Sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes or a blocked feeling, especially in certain seasons.

Chronic colds & sinusitis

A constantly blocked nose, recurring colds or pressure around the forehead and cheeks.

Shingles

Burning, stabbing pain or skin hypersensitivity during or after shingles.

Stomach & digestion

Digestion and abdominal unrest

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the digestive system is seen as a central pillar of your daily vitality. We explore which lifestyle and physical factors contribute to gut discomfort.

Bloated feeling

A tight, bloated, or heavy feeling in the abdomen after meals.

Stomach complaints & reflux

Heartburn, acid regurgitation, or a pressing feeling in the stomach area.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Cramps, a sensitive abdomen, and changing bowel habits that react to food or stress.

Bowel complaints

Constipation, diarrhoea, or irregular bowel movements.

Nausea

A persistent or recurring feeling of nausea, with or without a clear cause.

Digestive issues

Sluggish digestion or recurring discomfort in the digestive tract.

Nerves & senses

Nerve pain, dizziness and ringing in the ears

Complaints of the nerves and senses can have a major impact on daily life, precisely because they often last a long time. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the meridians running through the affected area and at what keeps the symptoms going.

Neuropathy

Tingling, numbness, burning pain or loss of strength in the hands and feet.

Facial pain

Sharp, shooting or aching pain in the face, as with trigeminal neuralgia.

Facial paralysis

A suddenly drooping corner of the mouth or eye on one side of the face, as with Bell’s palsy.

Dizziness

A spinning or light-headed feeling, or difficulty with balance.

Tinnitus

Ringing, hissing or buzzing in one or both ears, often loudest in silence.

Women, men & hormones

Cycle, menopause, fertility and men’s health

Hormones, the cycle and vitality have a noticeable impact on how you feel, in women and men alike. In Traditional Chinese Medicine these complaints are viewed in connection with your energy, sleep and tension, at every stage of life.

Menstrual complaints & PMS

Painful, heavy or irregular periods, PMS and tender breasts.

Endometriosis

Severe period pain, pelvic pain or pain during sex, also alongside conventional treatment.

Menopause symptoms

Hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and restless sleep.
