What is Oriental Acupuncture针灸?

Acupuncture needles are metallic and hair-thin.  They are single-packed and pre-sterilised.  People feel no, or minimal pain as the the needles are being inserted. Once the needle is inserted to the proper depth, they will feel the needle sensation – a kind of heaviness or numbness (it may feel like water flowing around the point). Acupuncture treatment is safe and does not have any adverse effects, if utilised correctly.

​Does ACC approve Acupuncture treatments?

If your situation is covered by ACC, then ACC would contribute towards your treatment costs, and there is a small surcharge that you will be charged at this clinic.

​What problems can acupuncture help with?

Acupuncture can be helpful for treating many problems, for example, sports injuries, neck pain, lower back pain, headache, insomnia, tinnitus, paralysis, women’s conditions and more.  Acupoints are stimulated, meridian-qi and  qi-blood flow promoted, readjusting yin and yang, rebuilding the body’s balance.

What is Electro-Acupuncture 电针灸?

Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. This practice can augment pain efficacy.  Treatment of moderate post-chemotherapy vomiting may be amenable.

What is Auricular Acupuncture  耳针灸?

Auricular acupuncture is the stimulation of acupuncture points on the external ear surface, for the diagnosis and treatment of health conditions in other areas of the body.

What is Herbal Medicine 中国草药?

Herbal Medicines are prescribed to normalise imbalanced energy in the body.

​What is Moxibustion 艾灸?

A Moxa cone or stick is made of herbs.  It is ignited to warm the meridian and acupoint, to help promote blood flow and eliminate pathogens and pain.

What is Cupping 拔罐?

Special cups are sucked on the selected points using negative pressure, to ease away blood stagnation, and dispel dampness and coldness.

What is Gua sha 刮痧?

Gentle gliding using a flat handled tool over the skin with serum, following the  meridians of the body.  A facial for brighter, tighter, rejuvenated skin.

What is Tuina 推拿 (中国式按摩?

It is a therapeutic massage along the meridians and acupoints, and can also involve traction.

What is Biopuncture and Trigger Point Injection?

Injection therapy located at the site of pain and inflammatory problems.  Trigger Point Injection occurs into the painful knot or band.
