Yuan Qi Acupuncture Center is a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in Business Bay, Dubai, led by a DHA and MOH licensed doctor. We treat ongoing pain, stress, poor sleep, and fertility and hormonal concerns using acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping and professional physiotherapy. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating on Google, most of it from patients who arrived unsure whether any of this would work and stayed once it did.
If you have been looking for an acupuncture clinic in Dubai and are not sure where to start, this page walks you through what we do, who treats you, and the conditions we see most often. Everything here is complementary care that works alongside conventional medicine, not a replacement for your doctor.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is a complete system of healthcare, developed in China over thousands of years, that treats the body as one connected whole rather than a set of separate parts. It works on a simple idea: good health depends on balance and the steady flow of energy, known as Qi, and blood through the body. When that flow is blocked or weak, symptoms appear, and the aim of treatment is to restore it so the body can heal itself.
In practice that means several therapies that we often combine: acupuncture, cupping and Hijama, moxibustion, Gua Sha, Tui Na massage and Chinese herbal medicine. More people in the city are turning to these as drug-free ways to manage pain and stress, and our job is to apply them properly, with a real assessment behind every treatment.
Every patient is different, so we rarely use one therapy in isolation. After an assessment we build a plan from the treatments below, and we explain what each one is for before we begin.
Fine, sterile needles placed at specific points to ease pain, calm the nervous system and improve circulation. This is the foundation of most of what we do.

Working alongside him, our physiotherapist Dr. SuryaLakshmi is certified in clinical dry needling and rehabilitation. Between them they cover both the Eastern and the clinical side of recovery, which is why acupuncture and physiotherapy work so well together here.
Read profileThe honest difference is that this is a clinical practice run by a licensed doctor, not a spa offering a quick fix. There are many places to get a massage in Dubai, and far fewer where acupuncture is delivered by a practitioner with formal medical training and a DHA licence. We start every course of treatment with a proper assessment, we keep the clinic clean and calm with private treatment rooms, and we tell you honestly when acupuncture is the right fit and when it is not.
Patients travel to us from Downtown, Al Wasl, Jumeirah, Deira and across the city, many of them busy professionals who simply want to feel like themselves again. A lot of them start with one problem and stay for general upkeep once they feel the difference. Your first consultation is included when you book a course of treatment, so the first step is straightforward.
Offering traditional Chinese medicine therapies, plus professional physiotherapy rehabilitation Dubai patients trust for rehab support, pain management, improved mobility and posture correction. We also support women's wellness with holistic therapies as part of a personalised treatment approach, including fertility acupuncture services to support relaxation, balance and overall reproductive wellness.
We blend traditional understanding with a modern, patient-centred approach built around your individual balance.
As long as acupuncture and associated therapies are covered under your plan, we're happy to help. Coverage varies by provider, so we recommend verifying your benefits before your visit.
Our team prepares official receipts, treatment summaries and medical reports to make reimbursement simple.
