Acupuncture
in Mallorca.
A local clinic. An individual approach.
If you’re looking for acupuncture in Palma de Mallorca, choosing a practitioner is about more than finding an appointment. You want to explain how you feel, ask questions and understand the approach being suggested. At Neijing, your consultation is a conversation, with space for your health history, daily life and priorities.
People contact us about concerns such as discomfort, stress, sleep or general wellbeing. Rob will discuss whether the available therapies may be appropriate for you, explain their limits and agree a plan with you. Your care is individual, rather than a fixed sequence of appointments or the same treatment for everyone.
The clinic is in Santa Catalina, Palma, with appointments on Wednesdays and Fridays. English and Spanish are spoken. Whether you live on the island or are visiting Mallorca, you can begin with a free 10-minute phone or WhatsApp consultation before deciding whether to book.

Acupuncture &
traditional
Chinese medicine.
Acupuncture is one part of traditional Chinese medicine. Depending on your assessment and preferences, your appointment may also include hands-on therapies such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion or remedial massage. Rob explains the proposed approach before treatment begins.
Acupuncture treatment
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupuncture points. Sterile, single-use acupuncture needles are used for every appointment. The points selected follow your consultation and assessment; Rob will explain what to expect and encourage you to ask questions throughout your session.
Remedial & sports massage
Manual soft tissue therapy can be booked on its own or incorporated into your care. Rob’s training includes remedial and sports massage, myofascial techniques and soft tissue release. If you would prefer an appointment without needles, mention this when enquiring so you can discuss a suitable hands-on approach.
Cupping & gua sha
Cupping uses cups placed on the skin to create suction. Gua sha uses a smooth-edged instrument in strokes over the skin. These are distinct traditional techniques, and neither is automatically included in every appointment. Rob considers your history and preferences when discussing whether either may be appropriate.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves applying heat using moxa, prepared from mugwort, near selected acupoints. It is a traditional warming technique that may be incorporated into an individual plan. You can read our guide to moxibustion for an introduction, then ask Rob whether it is relevant to your appointment.
Your suitability and treatment options are discussed at your appointment. Responses vary; acupuncture is a complementary approach and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.

Does acupuncture hurt?
The needles are much finer than injection needles. You may notice a brief pinch or a dull, heavy sensation, while some people find the experience relaxing. Tell Rob if you feel uncomfortable or would like a pause; your questions and comfort are part of the appointment.
Can I have acupuncture alongside medical treatment?
Acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical care. Keep your doctor informed and bring details of medication and existing health conditions. It is not a substitute for diagnosis, prescribed treatment or urgent medical attention. Do not stop prescribed medicine without discussing it with your doctor.
Are there side effects or reasons it may not suit me?
Temporary effects such as bruising, tenderness, tiredness or light-headedness can occur. Suitability depends on your health history, so mention medication, bleeding conditions and any skin problems before treatment. Rob will discuss relevant precautions with you. The NHS guidance on complementary therapies provides further general information.
