June 2025 – Men’s Health Week, 9th – 15th June


Men’s Health Week June 2025: Boosting Well-Being with Acupuncture and Complementary Therapies

Men’s Health Week, running from June 9–15, 2025, is a vital time to shine a spotlight on men’s physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This year’s focus is on preventative health, urging men to be proactive about their health rather than reactive. While regular check-ups and medical screenings remain essential, complementary therapies—such as acupuncture—are increasingly being recognized as playing a role in maintaining and improving health.

As well as Acupuncture, other Complementary Therapies such as nutritional support and advice, counselling, meditation, yoga, and massage therapies can also be beneficial.

What makes Acupuncture beneficial for men’s health?

1. Chronic Pain Relief

Many men experience pain due to sports injuries, physical labor, or age-related wear and tear. Acupuncture is widely used to treat:

  • Back and neck pain

  • Arthritis

  • Joint and muscle stiffness

  • Sciatica

It works by stimulating the nervous system, releasing endorphins, and reducing inflammation—often leading to noticeable pain relief without reliance on medication.

2. Stress and Mental Health

Modern life brings mental strain—yet men are often less likely to seek support.  Acupuncture can help regulate the body’s stress response by lowering cortisol levels and promoting a sense of calm. It’s particularly useful for:

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Burnout

  • Sleep disturbances

Regular treatments may improve mood, increase energy, and encourage better sleep, all of which are crucial for mental resilience.

3. Fertility and Hormonal Health

Acupuncture can support male reproductive health by improving sperm quality, enhancing libido, and balancing hormone levels. It may also assist men undergoing fertility treatment by increasing circulation and reducing stress levels, both of which are linked to better outcomes.

4. Digestive and Immune Support

Issues such as bloating, acid reflux, or weakened immunity can be signs of imbalance.  Acupuncture supports digestive health by regulating gut function and enhancing the body’s ability to fend off illness, particularly during times of high stress.
