Traditional Acupuncture
Acupuncture Therapy
A millennia-old TCM practice using fine needles at acupoints to unblock meridians and harmonise qi and blood — applied to clinical conditions and wellness-oriented care.
Acupuncture Types
Diverse Acupuncture Therapies
Fine needles at body acupoints harmonise qi and blood and unblock meridians — widely used across many conditions.
Facial acupoints may help local circulation and may support overall complexion and skin vitality as part of wellness-oriented care. Individual responses vary; treatment is integrated with constitutional assessment.
Selected acupoints may support appetite regulation, digestion and fluid balance as part of overall constitutional care, combined with herbs and dietary guidance where appropriate. Not a substitute for medical weight-loss treatment.
Needles or ear seeds at ear acupoints may support smoking cessation, mood regulation, sleep and appetite control with ongoing stimulation between visits.
Mugwort warmth at acupoints supports meridian flow and dispels cold-damp — especially suited to cold constitutions, cold limbs, pain and gynaecological cold patterns.

FAQ
Questions patients ask
The needles are very fine. Most people feel only a mild ache, heaviness, tingling or distension at the point — what TCM calls "de qi" — which differs from the sharp sting of a blood draw or injection. For first-timers or sensitive patients, Dr. Ng uses a gentler technique and may start with fewer needles. Sensations vary from person to person.
A first visit, including consultation and tongue and pulse diagnosis, takes about 30–45 minutes; needle retention time depends on the condition. The number of sessions varies — acute pain and long-standing constitutional care follow different rhythms — and Dr. Ng will explain what to watch for after assessment. Results vary and are not guaranteed.
Please tell Dr. Ng before treatment if you have a clotting disorder (such as haemophilia) or take anticoagulants, skin infection at the needling site, extreme fatigue or an empty stomach, a pacemaker or serious chronic illness, or if you are pregnant (some points must be avoided).
The clinic uses single-use sterile needles, discarded after each patient, and screens for contraindications before needling. Dr. Ng Hau Jun is a Registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner in Hong Kong (003769), verifiable by registration number with the Chinese Medicine Council.
Oakville Wellness is at Unit 602, Kam On Building, 176A–176F Queen's Road Central, about 3–5 minutes' walk from Sheung Wan MTR Exit E2. Please book via WhatsApp 6734 9532; Dr. Ng assesses you first and then decides whether needling is suitable.
Yes, depending on your constitution and condition — for example moxibustion or cupping alongside acupuncture for pain, or herbs for skin and gynaecological care. The combination is decided after consultation, and fees are explained before treatment.
