About Acupuncture Treatment at Our Clinic
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, hair-like needles into specific points on the body. These points stimulate local nerve endings and muscle fibres, triggering a healing response. Research has shown acupuncture can increase blood supply, balance stress hormones, reduce inflammation, release muscle tension and influence brain function (Kavoussi & Ross, 2007; Hui, 2009).
In Australia, acupuncturists are government-registered and must hold a minimum four-year bachelor’s degree. Our practitioners are trained to recognise conditions requiring medical referral and to conduct standard medical examinations.
We use only the finest acupuncture needles available in Australia to ensure the most comfortable treatment experience possible.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Alongside acupuncture, our practitioners may recommend Chinese herbal medicine as part of your treatment plan. All herbs are sourced from GMP-approved farms and tested for heavy metals, pesticides and contaminants. We offer both granules (dissolved in hot water) and capsules, depending on what suits you best.
