What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which dates back thousands of years and is a whole body system of health care. The practitioner asks many questions about your symptoms and general health and, from your answers, makes a diagnosis and determines which points need to be needled. Needles are gently inserted to correct, strengthen, balance the energy flow in the body so that it can function the way it should and basically heal itself. It has a very calming, relaxing effect on the body and people often fall asleep once the needles are in! Because Acupuncture is a holistic therapy, addressing the energy flow in our bodies, it’s able to treat a huge variety of ailments from headaches and migraines to stress and anxiety, period pain to insomnia, infertility to menopause, constipation, diarrhea, hayfever, sinus congestion, muscular pain, joint pain, just to name a few.
In order to become a registered TCM Acupuncturist, practitioners are required to undertake a minimum of 4 years study in an AHPRA approved bachelor degree, which includes 1000 hours of clinical experience. We are required to hold professional indemnity insurance, first aid certificate and maintain ongoing professional education.
