Why acupuncture?

Why acupuncture?
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have grown in popularity in Australia, particularly in the last few decades. There are many reasons why people seek treatment with acupuncture and Chinese medicine, however our clients' reasons tend to fall in one or more of the following categories:
  • They’re after a holistic treatment approach that addresses the root causes of their concerns, not just the symptoms.
  • They're looking for a natural, non-pharmacological way to improve their health and wellbeing without the negative side effects that can sometimes come with drugs and surgery.
  • They're looking for answers to their health concerns that conventional medicine has not yet been able to provide.
  • They've been referred to us by other health professionals, such as doctors, physiotherapists, and midwives for adjunct treatment.
Chinese medicine looks at your health history, symptoms, diet, and lifestyle using a different lens than conventional medicine; this lens can often uncover the missing pieces of your health puzzle.

Who gets acupuncture?
All walks of life! We see a wide range of people at our clinic with a variety of conditions. The youngest client we’ve treated on Bribie so far is four years old and the oldest is 91

Will acupuncture work for you?

13/7/2020

The most common questions my acupuncture clients first ask are:
  • Will acupuncture work for my condition, and 
  • How long will it take until I feel results?

The short answer is, “it depends”. The number of treatments required varies depending on the type of condition, how long you’ve had it, your lifestyle, and your individual response to acupuncture - some people respond quickly, others take a bit longer. In general however, I expect to see benefit within the first few treatments. Sometimes, however, acupuncture might not be the right solution and other interventions are required - I discuss the treatment process with my clients during their first appointment. The good news is that the vast majority of my clients experience significant improvement in their conditions - it’s not uncommon for my clients to have complete resolution of conditions that have plagued them for years or even those they were told required surgery.

My clients are often surprised (and grateful!) when I don’t place acupuncture needles at the site of pain. Much like how a switch on the wall is able to turn on a light bulb on the ceiling, acupuncture points located in one area of the body are able to affect another area via the body's internal wiring. Depending on the condition, better results are often achieved when needles are placed away from the affected area, whilst also avoiding aggravation to already sore spots.

Acupuncture newbies

2/1/2020

 
Over the holidays I had fun volunteering at the Woodford Folk Festival, providing donation-based acupuncture treatments with the support of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society (ATMS). It was a HUGE success! Myself and the two other registered acupuncturists had non-stop back-to-back clients from morning to night for all six days of the festival.

Some of conditions I treated in our make-shift clinic:
  • Back pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Post-surgical shoulder pain
  • Neck pain
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Digestive upset

Many of the clients were already getting acupuncture regularly and came to us for a top-up but A LOT were total newbies! Many had been curious about acupuncture for a long time and happily took the opportunity to get their first treatment at Woodford ✌️☮️
In the video you can hear the first-time acupuncture client comment “it's not scary at all" and "I was so nervous" as I was removing her needles 😆 She's now an acupuncture convert! 🙌
