ACUPUNCTURE
ACUPUNCTURE IS ONE THE MOST ANCIENT HEALING PRACTICES IN THE WORLD
Acupuncture is one the most ancient healing practices in the world, dating back at least 2000 years.  

​A major component of Traditional Chinese and Japanese Medicine, it works by stimulating specific points on the body, usually by inserting very fine sterilised metallic needles into the skin.

​

An Ancient Treatment That Can Help with Today's Issues...

Acupuncture commonly refers to the use of metal needles to stimulate anatomical points, often with the addition of manual manipulation, heat or electrical stimulation. Some practitioners use lasers instead of needles to stimulate the anatomical points.

While acupuncture does appear to help in the treatment of some conditions, the theory of acupuncture is not able to be explained by current medical science.  Nevertheless, acupuncture continues to achieve results for a wide range of medical, physiological and psycholigical issues.

How Can Acupuncture Help?

​Acupuncture can be used to deal with a wide range of medical related issues or problems:
​
  • Chronic back pain and chronic medical conditions.
  • Pain relief before and after Orthopaedic surgery for back pain, Hip and Knee pain
  • Osteoarthritis of Hip, knee and Ankle joints to name but a few.
  • Chronic intractable Migraine
  • Hyperemesis (excessive vomiting) in early pregnancy
  • Post stroke facial paralysis
  • Hemiplegic migraine, Chronic Trigeminal Neuralgia, Post - herpetic Neuralgia and other Neuropathic pain
  • Chronic sports injury with Musculoskeletal pain, Hip joint pain and Trochanteric bursitis Coccydynia 
  • Hay fever and other allergic conditions

What Should You Expect During Acupuncture Treatment?

A typical acupuncture session begins with a discussion of your problem and a physical examination. The acupuncturist may then stimulate certain points on the body, either by inserting the fine metal needles or using a laser. The needles used in acupuncture are typically much finer than the needles used to take blood, and the process is usually painless. Once the needles are inserted, they will be left in place while you lie still, and hopefully relaxed. The needles may be turned or wobbled as part of the treatment but all are removed at the end of a treatment session!
