Acupuncture for Immune Support

Your immune system does more than fight off illness—it keeps your entire body in balance. When it's strong, you feel energized, focused, and ready to take on the day. When it's weakened, you're more vulnerable to fatigue, frequent colds, allergies, and chronic inflammation.

Acupuncture offers a natural, holistic way to strengthen your immune system by supporting the body’s internal balance and resilience.

How Acupuncture Strengthens Your Immune System

Acupuncture helps boost and strengthen your immune system naturally by supporting the body’s internal defenses and restoring balance.

Stress, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation can all weaken immune function over time. Acupuncture works by calming the nervous system, improving circulation, and stimulating the production of key immune cells—such as white blood cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells.

This holistic approach strengthens your body’s ability to:

Fight off viruses and infections
Reduce inflammation and allergic responses
Recover more quickly from illness
Maintain energy and resilience year-round

By reducing stress (a major factor in immune suppression) and encouraging the production of key immune cells like white blood cells and T-cells, acupuncture enhances your body’s ability to fight off illness and recover faster.

This holistic approach doesn’t just treat symptoms—it helps regulate and balance the immune system, making you more resilient to colds, infections, and chronic inflammation.

Feel stronger, recover faster, and stay well—naturally.

What Patients Are Saying:

“Before acupuncture, I caught every cold that went around and always felt run-down. Since starting regular treatments, I’ve been healthier, sleeping better, and even my seasonal allergies have improved. I finally feel like my body is on my side again.”
— Mark L., 37

Strengthen Your Immune System, Naturally

Whether you're looking to stay well through flu season or support long-term immune balance, acupuncture offers a gentle, effective path to feeling your best—year-round.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body which influence the flow of energy and support the body’s internal systems. This gentle stimulation can help regulate immune function, enhancing the body’s natural ability to fight infections and disease.

Here’s how acupuncture can strengthen and support your immune system:

Boosts Immune Cell Activity

Acupuncture helps increase the number and activity of immune cells like white blood cells, red blood cells, and T-cells, all of which are essential for defending against infections.

Balances Immune Response

Whether your immune system is overactive (as seen in autoimmune conditions) or underactive (leaving you more prone to illness), acupuncture can help restore balance and regulate your body’s immune response.

Reduces Inflammation

Chronic inflammation can weaken your immune defenses. Acupuncture helps to reduce this inflammation, promoting overall immune health and making it easier for your body to stay resilient.

Reduces Stress

Stress can have a significant negative impact on the immune system. Acupuncture induces a calming effect, reducing stress levels and promoting relaxation—indirectly supporting immune function.

Promotes Homeostasis(Balance)

Acupuncture works to restore balance across all of your body’s systems, including the immune system, promoting homeostasis—a state of equilibrium that ensures your body functions at its best.

Acupuncture FAQ's:

Does acupuncture hurt? We hear this question in clinic very often! One of the big misconceptions about acupuncture, is that because there are needles involved, it must hurt. However, acupuncture is practically painless! The needles we use are hair-thin – and first time patients will often express their surprise when they realize how different acupuncture feels to what they expected. The sensations a patient can experience with the needles may be numbness, tingling, distension, heaviness, warmth, or a radiating feeling. All of these sensations are considered desirable sensations in terms of the treatment – often they show us that we’ve achieved the response we want from the body. Any sensations tend to dissipate within a few seconds, leaving the patient in a very calm state – so much so they often fall asleep! Most people who come in, even those who are scared of needles, find that acupuncture is a comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

How many acupuncture sessions will I require? This can be a difficult question to answer, as there is no “one size fits all” in acupuncture. With each patient, I will come up with a unique, individual, and holistic treatment plan based on your symptoms and health history. For a loose guideline based on my own clinical experience, patients with acute conditions (something severe and sudden in onset) may only require 3-6 treatments to heal, whereas chronic conditions (long-developing symptoms) may take longer. I tend to find that many patients find that acupuncture benefits them in someway almost immediately, and many feel things such as reduction in pain, stress-relief, increased energy, and better sleep after only a few treatments! It is important to note that every person is different, and acupuncture is such a great medicine as it takes this into consideration.

Is acupuncture safe? Yes. Because acupuncture treatment is drug-free, you avoid the risk of drugs which can cause side-effects or dependency. During each acupuncture session your doctor will adjust the treatment according to your progress, so you receive constant monitoring of any changes.

How Long Are Visits? Total Visit time is one hour. Acupuncture Treatments are usually 40 mins. acupuncture treatment is drug-free, you avoid the risk of drugs which can cause side-effects or dependency. During each acupuncture session your doctor will adjust the treatment according to your progress, so you receive constant monitoring of any changes.

What can I expect from acupuncture? Most people are surprised at the depth of relaxation, the intensity of energy which occurs, and sense of well-being and healing which occurs from the rebalancing of energy. Relief from symptoms may be felt immediately or gradually in the following days (or weeks) depending on the severity of symptoms and how long you’ve had it. You will find you will look forward to treatment for the many benefits that are received from acupuncture. Many who have lived with their condition for so many years believe they will just have to make do. Others live with pain thinking that “someday” it will go away. Acupuncture has succeeded in many cases where other treatments have not. We have seen people achieve complete relief of decades old problems after just a few visits.
