Waitakere Health Hub

Living with chronic pain can be exhausting.

When pain hangs around for months or years, it can affect how you move, work, sleep, exercise, and connect with the people around you.

That's why we've introduced our weekly Battlefield Auricular Acupuncture Community Clinic.

Originally developed by the US military as a rapid pain-relief protocol, Battlefield Acupuncture uses five tiny needles placed in specific points on the ear. Treatments are simple, gentle, and delivered in a quiet group setting.

Research involving 11,406 veterans found participants reported:
• Less pain
• Better movement and function
• Improved wellbeing
• Positive treatment experiences

Our community clinic is designed to make this treatment accessible to more people.

✨ Tuesdays at 1:30pm
✨ 30–40 minute group session
✨ Sliding scale from koha $15
✨ No referral required

If you've been living with persistent pain and are curious about a different approach, we'd love to welcome you.

We often look for the quick fix.
The pill. The treatment. The appointment.

But health is built in the quiet, daily choices -
how you move, how you eat, how you recover.

Treatment helps.
But what you do every day is what holds it.

We're opening a Community Acupuncture Clinic at the Waitākere Health Hub.

✨ If you're in chronic pain, if you have fallen through the ACC gap, if you are on a Jobseeker or Supported Living and in pain, have anxiety, or trauma and $100 a session has always been the reason you haven't tried acupuncture - this is for you.

We use gentle ear acupuncture (Battlefield or NADA protocols) and a few body points, in a calm group room.

Sliding scale from koha $15. No income proof. No referral needed.

Starting 12th May - Tuesday 1.30.
Share with anyone in the community you feel needs this.
