Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine pins into specific acupoints to harmonise the flow of Qi (vital energy) in the body. Other non-insertive techniques like moxibustion, cupping, acupressure or laser acupuncture may be used alone or in conjunction with the acupuncture treatment.
Acupuncture aims to stimulate and strengthen the body’s natural healing mechanisms and restore balance. Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of health conditions and was originally used in ancient China to prevent illness.
Our acupuncturists are highly skilled and are very gentle, using top quality Japanese-style needles, so your comfort is assured.
All of our Chinese Medicine practitioners are registered with AHPRA and have completed Health Science degrees in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with post-graduate training in the following areas:
Dry Needling / Trigger
Point Acupuncture

Does Chinese Medicine Work?
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that factors that determine the health of people are specific to each individual. With Chinese medicine becoming more popular as an alternative or complementary practice, it is important that patients only seek the assistance of trained and educated complementary medicine doctors. Our Doctors of Chinese medicine are all APHRA registered Health care practitioners.
Practises such as acupuncture have been found as an effective treatment for chronic pain, Tai Chi can improve lower and upper body strength, and cupping can assist with pain relief, muscle relaxation and energy blockages.
