Acupuncture at IKM Institut is delivered by a physician trained in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), making it more than a simple needle insertion — each session begins with pulse examination, tongue diagnosis, and acupoint palpation to build a complete picture of the client's energetic state before a single needle is placed. Thin sterile needles are inserted into specific meridian points to release energetic blockages, harmonise Qi flow, and restore physiological balance. Modern science links these effects to nervous system modulation, pain-signal inhibition via gate-control and descending inhibitory pathways, and endorphin release. At IKM, acupuncture is positioned as a core component of the clinic's holistic longevity approach — complementing ozone infusions and anti-aging IV therapy for a comprehensive mind-body regeneration protocol. Sessions are particularly suited to athletes managing injury and recovery, longevity clients seeking body-mind harmonisation, and seniors (65+ receive a 20% discount) dealing with chronic pain, reduced mobility, or sleep disturbance.

The theoretical basis: TCM posits that vital energy (Qi) circulates through the body along defined channels called meridians. When flow is disrupted — by physical trauma, emotional stress, dietary imbalance, or environmental factors — the resulting blockage manifests as pain, fatigue, dysfunction, or disease. Acupuncture uses fine sterile needles to stimulate specific points along these meridians, releasing blockages and restoring free circulation. The…
Session protocol: the physician begins with a full TCM consultation — examining pulse quality and rhythm at three positions on each wrist (a nuanced diagnostic system reflecting the state of twelve organ systems), observing tongue morphology and coating, and palpating relevant acupoints for sensitivity. The client is educated on the concepts of Yin/Yang balance and Qi flow as they relate to their particular presentation. Loose clothing should be worn or…
