Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that has been used for thousands of years to restore balance, relieve pain, and support overall wellbeing. It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points of the body, known as acupuncture points, to stimulate energy flow, known in Chinese medicine as Qi (Chi). By restoring the natural balance of energy, acupuncture supports both the body and the mind, helping to alleviate symptoms and improve health outcomes.
At Mary Grimes Acupuncture in Dublin, we use acupuncture to treat a wide variety of conditions, ranging from chronic pain and stress to digestive issues, fertility support, and overall wellness.

What to Expect During an Acupuncture Treatment?
When you visit Mary Grimes Acupuncture in Dublin, your first session will begin with a detailed consultation. We take the time to understand your symptoms, medical history, and overall health. Based on this, we design a treatment plan specific to your needs.
During the session:
-
Sterile, fine needles are gently inserted into specific acupuncture points.
-
The process is virtually painless, with most patients reporting only a mild tingling or warmth.
-
Needles are typically left in place for 20–30 minutes, allowing the body’s energy to rebalance.
-
You will feel deeply relaxed, and many clients even fall asleep during treatment.
Follow-up sessions may be recommended depending on the nature of your condition and your response to treatment.
The Science Behind Acupuncture
While acupuncture originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), modern scientific research has shown that it can stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and release endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers. Studies suggest that acupuncture helps regulate hormones, reduce inflammation, and calm the body’s stress response.
This unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern science makes acupuncture a respected and widely used therapy worldwide.
