Acupuncture & Holistic Therapies at Sanconfind Medical Center
At Sanconfind Medical Center in Poiana Câmpina, Romania, acupuncture is offered as an outpatient specialty by European-trained doctors with advanced training in acupuncture and apiphytotherapy. This is more than a complementary service — it is an integrative holistic approach that works alongside our medical rehabilitation programs to address the root causes of illness, not just the symptoms.
Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, insomnia, stress, or a wide range of other conditions, our acupuncture and natural therapy services offer a safe, scientifically supported path to recovery and well-being.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Acupuncture at Sanconfind is not practiced in isolation. Our physicians combine acupuncture with:
- Apiphytotherapy — healing using bee products (propolis, honey, royal jelly, bee venom) combined with plant-based medicine
- Moxibustion — applying heat through burning moxa (dried herb) on acupuncture points to stimulate energy flow
- Suction cup therapy (cupping) — creating negative pressure on the skin to improve circulation and relieve muscle tension
- Volcanic stone applications — using heated natural stones for deep tissue relaxation and pain relief
Each patient receives a personalised medical consultation followed by a tailored recommendation for natural treatments best suited to their condition.
How Acupuncture Works
Traditional Perspective
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, vital energy (Qi) flows through pathways called meridians. When this flow is disrupted, illness and pain occur. Acupuncture restores balance by stimulating specific points on these pathways using fine, sterile needles.
Scientific Mechanisms
Modern research confirms that acupuncture:
- Stimulates the release of endorphins (natural pain relievers)
- Modulates the nervous system and brain activity
- Reduces inflammation
- Improves blood circulation
- Regulates neurotransmitter levels

What to Expect
Your First Consultation
Your visit begins with a medical consultation during which the doctor:
- Reviews your health history and current complaints
- Conducts a traditional assessment (pulse, tongue diagnosis, energy evaluation)
- Identifies the most suitable treatment combination
- Provides a written recommendation for natural therapies
A Typical Session
- Brief check-in and health update
- Needle insertion at selected acupuncture points
- Needles remain in place for 15–30 minutes
- Optional: moxibustion, cupping, or volcanic stone application
- Post-treatment guidance and recommendations
Most patients feel deep relaxation during treatment. You may notice improvement from the first session, though a full course typically involves 6–10 sessions.
Holistic Complement to Medical Rehabilitation
Acupuncture fits naturally within Sanconfind's rehabilitation philosophy. For patients undergoing physiotherapy, kinesiotherapy, or hydrotherapy, acupuncture can:
- Accelerate recovery and reduce recovery pain
- Improve sleep, which is essential for healing
- Lower stress levels that would otherwise slow progress
- Address neurological symptoms alongside physical therapy
Safety and Standards
- Single-use, sterile disposable needles — always
- Full screening for contraindications before treatment

- Treatment in comfortable, private rooms
Contraindications to discuss: bleeding disorders, pacemakers (for electroacupuncture), pregnancy (some points avoided), active skin infections at needle sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
The needles are extremely fine — much thinner than injection needles. Most patients feel little to no discomfort. You may notice a slight tingling, warmth, or a sense of heaviness at the needle site, which is a normal sign of activation.
How many sessions do I need?
Acute conditions may respond in 3–5 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require 6–10 sessions, with maintenance visits thereafter.
Can I combine acupuncture with my other treatments?
Yes — this is actively encouraged. Acupuncture works best as part of an integrated plan alongside rehabilitation and medical care.
What is apiphytotherapy?
Apiphytotherapy uses products of the beehive (bee venom, propolis, honey, royal jelly) combined with medicinal plants for therapeutic purposes. It has anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, and regenerative properties.
