Conditions


Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are used for a wide range of concerns. Choose one to read more, or book a visit and we will work out a plan together.

Pain and injury

Pain of all types can be addressed with acupuncture. Studies have shown that when acupuncture is administered, parts of the brain associated with pain management are ‘lit up,’ showing the positive effects of acupuncture on pain receptors. It has also been shown that acupuncture reduces site specific inflammation and brings blood flow to painful areas, aiding in faster recovery.

We typically suggest 3-5 treatments in cases of acute pain (pain experienced for less than a month), while more chronic conditions can be managed with acupuncture in around 5-10 weekly treatments.
