What is Acupuncture? In its simplest form, acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles along specific acupuncture points of the skin, known as meridians, to restore the flow of energy which injury or disease has disrupted.
Acupuncture is a simple and well researched natural therapy treatment. A wide range of health treatments can be treated with acupuncture natural therapy. If you have a fear of needles, check our videos in the FAQs to see what it is like to have Acupuncture.

PROFESSIONAL EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE
Under Australian National Law, claims of efficacy of treatment are required to be made with reference to research of a high standard.
Traditionally Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years, in many countries, world wide to assist with a wide range of conditions. However, not all have evidence of efficacy that meet Australian National Law requirements.
I have therefore grouped and colour coded the conditions treated into three different areas, as follows:
*STRONG EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
**MODERATE EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
***WEAK POSITIVE / UNCLEAR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE
Additional conditions may potentially benefit from using Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, however western scientific evidence may not yet exist for these.
