Acupuncture that treats the whole person — not just the symptom

At Premier Wellness our Auckland acupuncturists draw on the full depth of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Traditional Japanese Medicine. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, recovering from injury, managing stress, or addressing women's health concerns — our personalised treatments work with your body's natural capacity to heal.

Our team includes a TCM-trained acupuncturist offering pulse and tongue diagnosis, cupping and cosmetic acupuncture, and a Japanese-trained acupuncturist and physical therapist combining acupuncture with shiatsu — a genuinely distinctive integration found at very few Auckland clinics. Both are ACC registered, and your acupuncturist stays with you for the whole session, from start to finish.

What patients say about Premier Wellness acupuncture Auckland

★★★★★

"I had shoulder pain for a long time from my painting job. I tried physio and chiropractic but the pain just wouldn't go away. Then I went to see one of the acupuncturists here — it made such a big difference! I felt so much relief and totally relaxed during the treatment."

Jason Kim
Patient of our TCM Acupuncturist
★★★★★

"I injured my right shoulder at work and had been struggling for several weeks. I felt relief immediately after the first treatment, and after a few sessions my range of motion improved, allowing me to work without any issues."

Google Reviewer
Patient of our Japanese Acupuncture & Physical Therapy practitioner
★★★★★

"The TCM acupuncturist here is exceptional. After years of stubborn elbow pain from martial arts, the discomfort completely disappeared after just three sessions. I'm now pain-free and fully enjoying my training again."

Naoko Stephenson
Patient of our TCM Acupuncturist
★★★★★

"The cough I had suffered from for several years has almost disappeared. After the very first treatment, symptoms were reduced by half. My sleep quality has improved and I feel much less irritable."

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions about acupuncture Auckland — answered

Does acupuncture hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort. Acupuncture needles are far finer than injection needles — most people describe brief tingling or mild heaviness, followed by deep relaxation. Many fall asleep during treatment. Needle-free acupressure options are available for those sensitive to needles.
Is acupuncture covered by ACC in New Zealand?
Yes — ACC covers up to 12 acupuncture treatments over 12 weeks for qualifying injury-related conditions including back pain, neck pain and soft-tissue injuries. Our physiotherapists and osteopaths can lodge your initial ACC claim for you at your first appointment, or you can use a claim you already have. No GP referral is required.
Which clinic should I book — Glenfield or Orewa?
Our acupuncturists practise at both our North Shore (Glenfield) and Hibiscus Coast (Orewa) clinics. Choose whichever is most convenient. North Shore patients — Birkenhead, Takapuna, Albany — book Glenfield. Hibiscus Coast patients — Orewa, Whangaparaoa, Silverdale — book Orewa.
What's the difference between your two acupuncture treatment styles?
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture uses pulse and tongue diagnosis, fine needles and therapies like cupping, moxibustion and cosmetic acupuncture. Japanese-style acupuncture combines needling with physical therapy, shiatsu and myotherapy in a single integrative session. If you're unsure which suits you, call us on 09 444 3231 and we'll help you decide based on your condition.
How many acupuncture sessions will I need?
Acute issues often improve in 3–6 sessions; chronic conditions typically benefit from 6–10. Your acupuncturist will set realistic expectations at your first appointment and won't recommend sessions beyond what your condition genuinely warrants.
Can acupuncture be combined with osteopathy or massage?
Absolutely — and we actively encourage this for many patients. Premier Wellness is a multidisciplinary clinic. Our acupuncturists work closely with our osteopaths and massage therapists. Combining acupuncture with osteopathy is particularly effective for complex pain conditions.

ACC, Southern Cross & Afterpay

ACC covers up to 12 acupuncture treatments over 12 weeks for qualifying injuries.
