Acupuncture adelaide

Traditional acupuncture therapy is a system of healthcare based on principles which go back over 2,000 years. Fundamentally, Chinese medicine views ill health as being an imbalance and acupuncture is used to restore the body and mind to equilibrium. In this respect, physical, emotional, and mental aspects of health are regarded as being profoundly connected and because of this, each aspect is taken into account in every treatment. 

A traditional acupuncturist will endeavour to treat the ‘whole person’ to produce a deep and fundamental change in their health rather than simply focusing on relieving the presenting symptoms.

Based on traditional belief, acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for centuries. The focus is on the individual, not their illness, which is why it is important that an acupuncturist knows and understands each patient, their constitution and lifestyle. Every patient is unique; and two people with the same western diagnosis may well receive quite different acupuncture treatments.

Traditional acupuncture is based on the underlying principle that illness and pain occur when the body’s energy (qi), does not flow freely. There can be many reasons for this: emotional and physical stress, poor nutrition, infection, or injuries are among the most common. 

Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Treatment

By inserting ultra-fine sterile needles into specific acupuncture points, a traditional acupuncturist seeks to restore balance and trigger the body’s natural healing response.

The amount of sessions that a patient requires will vary depending on their health problem and the way they respond to treatment and lifestyle advice. Claire likes to keep an open and honest dialogue with her patients about the most appropriate treatment for them. 

Claire has years of clinic experience in the practice of both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Acupuncture.

Combat Chronic Fatigue and Menstrual Cycle Disorders with Acupuncture Treatments

Exhausted from perpetual fatigue? Battling with irregular or painful menstrual cycles? I understand the debilitating effects of these kinds of health conditions on the body and soul. I tried acupuncture 20 years ago as a last resort to help me feel less exhausted and here I am now treating many patients for similar conditions. 

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a genuine medical system that seeks to understand how the body is not functioning well and correct those imbalances. When working with chronic fatigue and exhaustion, Chinese medicine seeks to boost vital energy and clear any blocks that might be standing in the way of the body functioning well. 

Chinese medicine is also helpful as part of women’s health care and can be used to regulate menstrual cycles and ease symptoms like cramping and mood swings. I will devise a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms, and explain everything to you along the way.
