As we wrap up 2025, here are the 5 most common reasons people booked acupuncture this year — and they might surprise you.
Shoulder, neck, back and joint pain topped the list, with many people coming in through ACC referrals for injury support and recovery.
Stress, anxiety and sleep support followed closely, as more people discovered how effective acupuncture can be for calming the nervous system and improving rest.
Hormonal and digestive concerns featured strongly too — including fertility support, menstrual health, menopause and ongoing gut issues.
Headaches and migraines remain a popular reason people return regularly.
And yes — cosmetic acupuncture made the list, with growing interest in natural facial rejuvenation and whole-body wellness.
Do you see yourself here?
Or is there something you didn’t realise acupuncture could help with?
✨ I’ll be back to normal clinic hours from the week starting 5 January, and bookings are now open for the New Year. ✨
