Our acupuncturists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and hold university qualifications in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture is used to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, neuropathy, headaches, migraines, stress, anxiety, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, fertility concerns and digestive disorders.
Our practitioners pursue ongoing Continuing Professional Development to stay current with evidence-based practice in acupuncture and TCM.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes a whole-person approach to health, treating the root cause of a condition rather than just its symptoms. Our East Maitland practitioners use Chinese herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, gua sha and heat therapy in combination to address complex or chronic health concerns. Herbal formulas are tailored to the individual patient, drawing on thousands of years of clinical tradition alongside modern safety standards.
Our remedial massage therapists work with patients managing soft tissue injuries, postural problems, muscle tightness, tension headaches and recovery from physical activity or surgery. Remedial massage can be used as a standalone therapy or as a complement to acupuncture and TCM treatment for a more comprehensive approach to pain relief and recovery.
Our naturopathy services address chronic health conditions using an integrative approach that combines nutritional therapy, herbal medicine and lifestyle guidance. Naturopathy works particularly well alongside acupuncture for patients managing hormonal imbalance, digestive complaints, immune function, fatigue and stress-related conditions.
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to release muscle tension and reduce localised pain, making it particularly effective for sports injuries, neck pain, shoulder pain and lower back pain. Cupping and gua sha are Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques that stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation and support recovery from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Moxibustion involves the application of heat to acupuncture points using dried mugwort (moxa), promoting circulation and warmth to areas affected by cold, stagnation or chronic pain. It is commonly used in the treatment of arthritis, digestive complaints and certain gynaecological conditions.
Tai Chi and Qi Gong practice supports joint health, balance, stress management and overall vitality. These movement-based therapies are highly recommended as a complement to acupuncture and TCM treatment, particularly for patients managing arthritis, chronic pain, stress or age-related conditions. Classes are available at our East Maitland location.
Our practitioners integrate mindfulness and relaxation techniques into treatment where appropriate, helping patients develop practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, chronic pain and emotional wellbeing between sessions.
All of our acupuncturists are registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and hold university degrees. You can trust that you are in qualified hands. Read more about our team.
