Acupuncture for Chronic Fatigue
and Burnout

Ongoing fatigue and burnout are rarely just about needing more rest, they’re often connected to prolonged stress, poor sleep, and a nervous system that hasn’t had a chance to properly recover.

Our Approach

1. Targeted Nervous System Care

Your practitioner will combine several modalities designed to support your body’s recovery capacity:

 

Traditional Acupuncture: Rooted in classical TCM theory, harmonising the flow of Qi (vital energy) through the body’s meridians and restoring balance.

 

Modern Acupuncture: Uses neuroscience-based point selection, aimed at supporting a healthier autonomic nervous system response.

 

Remedial Massage: Works on tight muscles linked to stress, easing physical tension and supporting circulation.

 

General Stress Care: Works to ease the nervous system’s overactive stress response.

2. A Full Assessment of Contributing Factors

Fatigue and burnout are rarely one thing, we look at the broader pattern:

 

Sleep and stress review: Discussing your sleep quality and current stress load.

 

Lifestyle discussion: Understanding work, activity and recovery patterns that may be contributing.

3. Long-Term Recovery Care

Rather than a quick fix, we aim to support your nervous system’s recovery capacity over time:

 

General lifestyle guidance: Practical suggestions designed to support sleep and stress management.

 

Ongoing session guidance: A pace of sessions suited to your recovery.

Common questions

Can acupuncture help with burnout? Acupuncture is widely used to support stress management and relaxation, which may be a helpful part of a broader recovery approach. It works best alongside other lifestyle changes, not as a standalone fix.

 

Should I see a doctor as well? If fatigue is significant, ongoing, or unexplained, we’d recommend a GP check to rule out underlying medical causes before or alongside treatment here.
