Acupuncture in brief

Not only treating musculoskeletal injuries, Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine assists in other bodily dysfunctions. Acupuncture whilst often seen as alternative, has a proven track record (i.e. there is research to support its use), and is being used more and more in mainstream medicine as a primary and adjunct treatment method.

What occurs in an Acupuncture Consultation

At your initial Acupuncture session, questioning and an assessment is undertaken by the practitioner. Your diagnosis using East Asian Medicine principles and a treatment plan is then discussed. Treatment involves the use of fine needles in to acupuncture points to stimulate the body’s inherent healing process and restore Qi or energy flow. The aim of the treatment is to both relieve symptoms as well as treat the cause, so re-occurrence is prevented.

Our Acupuncturist will sometimes combine Massage Therapy and Moxibustion (heat) techniques, for a holistic and more effective treatment. East Asian Medicine can be used as an alternative to conventional medicine or to complement other treatments you are currently undertaking.
