ACC Acupuncture · Ponsonby
Natural, effective pain relief, funded by ACC
Acupuncture is an effective, natural way to relieve pain, especially the muscle, joint and soft-tissue pain that follows an injury. When the pain comes from an injury, ACC can fund your treatment, so it costs you little or nothing. No ACC claim yet? One of our physios can assess, diagnose and lodge it for you. Our acupuncturists are experienced practitioners who work hand in hand with our physiotherapy team.

A drug-free option that works
For many people, acupuncture relieves pain that has not responded well to other approaches, and it does so without medication. It works particularly well for the muscle, joint and soft-tissue pain that follows an injury, and it sits comfortably alongside hands-on physiotherapy.
ACC funded, in experienced hands
If your pain is injury-related, ACC will fund your treatment (a co-payment applies). If it is not injury-related, check with your private health insurer about cover. Either way, you are in experienced hands.
One team, talking to each other
Our physiotherapists and acupuncturists work side by side. We compare notes on your case, sometimes over a coffee, so your treatment joins up and you recover faster.
