Acupuncture Treatments To Balance The Body

Acupuncture at JG Alternative Healthcare invites the body into a state of balance through time-honoured practices rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Led by Jesse, a practitioner with a unique blend of sports medicine knowledge and traditional techniques.

We focus on realigning the body and supporting the body’s innate ability to self-regulate and restore.

What Acupuncture May Support

Many people seek acupuncture to support a wide range of health concerns or functional imbalances. While Jesse tailors each treatment to the individual, the following are some of the common areas people explore acupuncture for:

• Sports training recovery and injuries
• musculoskeletal pain
• Migraines and neurological tension
• Women’s health and hormonal balance
• Cosmetic acupuncture
• Stress regulation
• Digestive health and gut support

Jesse brings a keen interest in pain modulation, particularly in relation to nerve sensitivity syndromes or peripheral neuropathy – such as fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy and sports-related injuries

Yes, he can work with you to create individualised plans that focus on restoring function, relieving discomfort, and increasing resilience.

Electro-Acupuncture: A Gentle & Targeted Upgrade

In some sessions, Jesse may use Electro-Acupuncture, a technique that gently pulses a low electrical current between acupuncture points to help support deep muscle tension, nerve sensitivity, or post-injury recovery.

This rhythmic stimulation complements traditional acupuncture by offering a more focused, consistent signal to the body. Most clients find it relaxing, precise and subtly energising.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

That’s the number one question. And the honest answer? It shouldn’t.
Most clients report a light tingling sensation, a dull ache or a momentary feeling of warmth or pressure, known as the “arrival of qi.” It’s fleeting, and many people drift into a light sleep once the needles are placed.

For the needle-shy, Jesse also offers non-insertive techniques such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion and Pa-Chi Piezo Stimulation. This an option for those with heightened sensitivity or a preference for hands-on modalities.

After an Acupuncture Session

Many people walk away feeling relaxed, clear-headed, or deeply grounded.
Some feel more energized, while others notice a wave of fatigue, both signs that the nervous system is recalibrating. If your body asks for rest, listen. This is your system shifting gears.

Over time, acupuncture may support the body’s ability to recover, recalibrate and maintain a more sustainable baseline of wellbeing, without relying on external stimulants or interventions.
