Pain Management

We understand the detrimental effect that chronic pain can have on your everyday lifestyle, wellbeing and happiness.

 

This is something we want to help you with.

Chronic conditions may require a multi-faceted approach, which is why we use regular treatments to desensitise the areas of concern and look at the physical and physiological causes and triggers of your pain and incorporate herbal supplements to support tissue regeneration. By taking a multi-faceted approach, we aim for immediate symptom management and pain relief followed by a long-term resolution and improvement of your quality of life.

Some of the types of pain we regularly treat are:

  • Neck, back and wrist pain

  • Aching joints

  • Tennis and golfers elbow

  • Bursitis of the hip and shoulder

  • Arthritis

 Sporting and Other Injuries

Sporting and other soft tissue injuries are common, and these simple injuries can progress if they are not treated and managed properly.

 

We use acupuncture as a highly targeted approach that provides micro-stimulation to damaged tissue. This helps to stimulate blood flow and to drain excess fluid from swollen tissue. The end goal is a reduction in pain and your return to work, sport, and general living.

For years we have worked closely with local sporting clubs to assist them with some of these types of injury:

  • Tight and sore muscles

  • Soft tissue injuries

  • Tendon and muscular strains

  • Connective tissue injuries, sprains and torn ligaments

  • Tendonitis

  • Inflammation

 Tension Headaches and Stress

Tight neck and shoulder muscles, coupled with the busy lifestyles we lead, are often a cause of tension headaches.

 

We use manual therapies and acupuncture to help alleviate your immediate symptoms as well as the causal triggers of your headaches. If it is appropriate, we can provide supplements that will compliment these therapies and provide you extra relief.

Vitamin and nutritional deficiencies may also be a factor in your headaches and we will examine this aspect of your problem too.

We understand that headaches and stress can often go hand-in-hand, and we will assess all of the contributing factors when treating your stress, whether in isolation or if it is coupled with headaches and/or neck and back pain.

We can help you with:

  • Migraine management

  • Neck pain

  • Back pain

 Fertility

For over 3000 years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has promoted specialised treatment for women during pregnancy.

 

Today, this type of care is becoming increasingly popular. It is used by midwives and acupuncturists in antenatal clinics and maternity hospitals around the world and it has been expanded to provide assistance to women with fertility issues.

It is widely used for:

  • Harmonising hormones

  • Fertility

  • IVF Support

  • Morning sickness

  • Preparation for giving birth

  • Positioning baby for delivery

 Respiratory Conditions

If our lungs and respiratory system are not functioning well, we can suffer from a range of breathing and immune system complications.

 

We can help you downgrade overactive immune responses in the respiratory tract to reduce mucus, inflammation and pain.

These are three of the most common causes of everyday respiratory ailments such as allergies. By using a combination of acupuncture, herbal and nutritional supplements to restore wellbeing in your respiratory tract, we aim to treat symptoms and alleviate the causes of your respiratory issues like:

  • Hayfever

  • Sinusitis

  • Allergic rhinitis

  • Mucous congestion and phlegm drainage

  • Lymphatic drainage

 Digestion and Immune Regulation

Gut health is one of the underlying factors contributing to a huge array of ailments we suffer, ranging from skin to bowel and even cognitive conditions.

 

The gut’s health is critical to our overall wellbeing.

Disharmony in our digestive system, where 70% of our lymphoid (immune) tissue can be found, can be difficult to control. We will address your symptoms by using a combination of acupuncture and nutritional treatments as part of a treatment plan to maintain long-term wellness in your gut addressing:

  • Bloating

  • Constipation and diarrhoea

  • Gas

  • Regular cold and flu symptoms

  • Frequent low-grade infection

  • Food sensitivity
