Life is busy, and it can take a toll on your body. Discomfort isn’t just inconvenient; it can gradually affect your physical and mental health.
From back pain to anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, digestion, and more, distal acupuncture offers a safe, effective acupuncture treatment to restore balance.
This method works by using distal points away from the area of pain, such as an acupuncture point on the hand for lower back pain, often giving immediate relief without aggravating sensitive areas.
At Village Remedies Sydney, with clinics in Balmain and the CBD, we use distal treatment influenced by the Tung family lineage, Richard Tan’s Balance Method, and traditional point indications.
Treatments focus on specified acupuncture points on the arms, hands, legs, and feet to treat the whole body, with fast feedback during each session.
With our skilled acupuncturist practitioners (that are registered with the Chinese Medicine Board) and backed by hundreds of five-star reviews, you’ll be in good hands.
Whether it’s your first session or part of long-term care, we’re here to support every patient’s wellness journey.

Our team are expert acupuncturists in distal acupuncture and Chinese medicine, using proven methods to safely address issues like chronic pain, joint pain, and back or neck discomfort.

At Village Remedies, we take a practical, results-based approach that combines integrative medicine with time-tested therapies. Many of our clients come to us with issues like insomnia, stress, or chronic pain.
By using distal acupuncture, along with Chinese herbal medicine where appropriate, we help influence the body’s structure and physiology to restore balance. This method uses points on the arms, legs, hands, and feet to affect the whole body, often bringing fast feedback and relief during treatment.
Our goal is to guide your mind and body out of a constant state of activity and into deeper states of rest and recovery. Each session is carefully tailored by our experienced practitioners to support your health naturally.
Modern life often throws our rhythms off balance, and sometimes it’s hard to reset them without help. That’s where we come in.
If you’re looking to restore balance, improve sleep, and feel more like yourself again, book an appointment today, we’d love to help.
Dry needling works by targeting tight muscles and trigger points directly, while distal acupuncture takes a different approach—using distal points away from the area of pain to treat the whole body and address both symptoms and underlying imbalances.
At Village Remedies Sydney, with clinics in Balmain and the CBD, we use dry needling techniques when appropriate, but it’s only a small part of our toolkit.
Our focus is on distal acupuncture, alongside other methods like motor point acupuncture, trigger point acupuncture, and electro acupuncture, because it often provides faster relief and a more holistic effect.
Dry needling involves the precise needle insertion of a thin needle directly into muscles or trigger points to release tension. It can be effective for pain relief, improving mobility, and supporting injury recovery.
However, it primarily works on musculoskeletal problems and does not address deeper, systemic issues.
Distal acupuncture is a broader system rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Instead of needling into the painful or injured area, it uses each distal acupuncture point on the arms, legs, hands, and feet to influence the entire body through the acupuncture channels.
This method often gives immediate feedback, reduces the risk of irritating sore tissue, and helps with conditions like neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, headaches, stress, insomnia, digestive issues, hormonal balance, and more.
Distal acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at points that are away from the area of pain or symptoms. For example, points on the hand may be used to relieve lower back pain.
This approach helps reduce irritation to inflamed areas while often providing immediate feedback and relief for the patient.
At our Sydney clinics in Balmain and the CBD, we specialise in distal acupuncture influenced by the Tung family lineage, Richard Tan’s Balance Method, and traditional point indications.
Our treatments focus on points on the arms, hands, legs, and feet to address the whole body, with many clients noticing fast results during their session. Our experienced practitioner team ensures each session is tailored to your needs.
Dry needling targets tight muscles and trigger points directly, whereas distal acupuncture uses points located away from the painful or restricted area.
This method reduces the risk of aggravating sore tissue and is suitable for both musculoskeletal pain and internal conditions such as stress, insomnia, or digestive issues.
Distal needling is a precise technique used by our practitioners to stimulate distal points safely and effectively.
Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment. Avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol right before your session, as stimulants may affect your body’s response to treatment.
Most people experience little to no discomfort. You may feel a quick, mild sensation as the needle is inserted, sometimes followed by a tingling, warmth, or pressure.
Many clients find the treatment relaxing and even fall asleep during their session.
Distal acupuncture is commonly used for chronic pain, headaches, back and neck issues, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, fertility support, and sporting injuries.
It is also recognised as a safe form of alternative medicine that encourages the body’s natural healing processes.
If you’re unsure whether it can help your condition, our practitioner team will happily discuss your situation during your first consultation.
While distal acupuncture is our primary method, we may also incorporate local techniques such as dry needling (ashi needling), motor point acupuncture, or electro acupuncture when needed.
We may also recommend supportive methods like acupressure for certain conditions.
These approaches can help release adhesions or dysfunctional tissue before returning to distal needling treatments for long-term results.
Booking is simple; you can schedule your session online with one of our qualified Sydney acupuncturists or contact our Balmain or CBD clinic directly. Our friendly team will guide you through the process and answer any questions before your first visit.
Distal acupuncture is especially valued for addressing pain without needling directly into the sore or inflamed area.
By using distal points on the hands, arms, legs, and feet, this method can ease chronic or acute pain while reducing the risk of aggravation.
This acupuncture treatment supports the body’s natural healing and is suitable for conditions like neck pain, shoulder pain, or back pain.
Many people experience improved sleep and deeper relaxation through distal acupuncture. By calming the nervous system and rebalancing the body’s natural rhythms through the acupuncture channels, treatments can support more restorative rest and renewed energy.
Distal acupuncture is commonly used to ease conditions like lower back pain and tension headaches.
Specified acupuncture points away from the affected area, such as on the hand or foot, are stimulated using a thin needle or complementary techniques like acupressure to improve circulation, reduce tension, and encourage faster relief.
Because distal acupuncture treats the body as a connected system, sessions can also help with digestion, stress, mood, and overall energy.
This holistic effect makes it a versatile therapy for supporting long-term wellbeing as part of a safe alternative medicine approach.
