Question 1

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Accepted Answer

No, I aim to provide a pain free Acupuncture service. I do this by using smaller, finer needles where appropriate, working with your breath and coaching you through appropriate needle sensation.

Question 2

Are there any side effects of Acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture is reasonably side effect free and there are many side benefits to be felt. Most patients leave the clinic feeling much more relaxed and calm. Common side effects of acupuncture are bruising, dizziness and a tiny drop of blood when the needle comes out. When working with the body there are always going to be unknown factors and outcomes. Some patients can experience  temporary discomfo

Question 3

Do I have to have Massage and Cupping? Can I just have Acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Your treatment is tailored in consultation with you. Massage, cupping, moxa, Acupuncture and herbs are all available.  Which combination of modalities suit your case will be dependent on your individual needs and diagnosis.

Question 4

Can I get Health Fund rebates?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Acupuncture is now part of allied health and is a registered profession. I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency, AHPRA. I am also a member of the Australia Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association, AACMA. Most private health funds will rebate your Acupuncture treatment.  We are as of yet not part of the medicare or the DVA system unfortunately.

Question 5

How many times do I have to come?

Accepted Answer

I run an honest 3 or 5 visit trial for new patients. 3 once a week visits are usually enough to assess whether an acute short term condition is going to respond to acupuncture. Longer term chronic conditions sometimes require 5. That said you should know in 1 or 2 treatments whether you are getting traction with acupuncture. Maintenance acupuncture ranges from once a fortnight to monthly.

Question 6

Do I have to cook, smell or taste the herbs?

Accepted Answer

No. We use powdered and capsulated traditional herbal formulas. These are easy to take and to fit in with your lifestyle.  All herbal formulas are TGA regulated.

Question 7

Can Kids get Acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, children of any age can receive Acupuncture. Here the Chinese Medical theory and lifestyle advice can be as valuable as the treatment. We use smaller colourful needles called taps, massage and non needle techniques such acupuncture point stimulators. I love working with young people especially teenagers and am studying  post graduate Chinese medical paediatrics.

Question 8

Is Acupuncture the same as Dry Needling?

Accepted Answer

Nope… Dry Needling is a physiological only treatment based on a muscular response to robust cross fibre needling. Chinese Acupuncture has a depth of Oriental Systemic theory and is often more gentle and inherently more holistic.   Dry needling is often a two day course that qualified and unqualified health practitioners can do.  A Chinese Medical degree, however, takes 4-5 years, costs more than $
