Chronic Health Disorders
With one in ten people in Australia suffering from a chronic disorder, now is never a better time to start implementing complementary medicines to your modern life to help manage these issues.
The role of Chinese Medicine in the management of chronic diseases has long been used in ancient and modern day China and today more research is underway in Australia to include this holistic medicine in the treatment of these illnesses.
Chronic health conditions can be long-lasting and affect your day to day living.
Chinese Medicine uses an holistic approach with a diverse range of treatments such as Acupuncture and Chinese herbs. as well as supplements, lifestyle and diet change, and exercise to help manage your disorder, along side any Western medicine you choose to use.
Not feeling yourself is never a great feeling.
Chinese Medicine sees chronic disorders as blockages, stagnation, excesses or deficiencies and with an in-depth diagnostic process, I work out where I need to focus my treatment for you, as an individual.
Chronic disorders that I have seen in the clinic include, but are also not limited to:
Thyroid issues (hypo and hyper)
Irritable bowl syndrome (IBS)
Asthma
Arthritis
Mental health disorders (depression and anxiety)
Autoimmune diseases
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Migraines
And so so so soooo many more
How Can Acupuncture Help?
Acupuncture is the process of inserting fine, single use, sterile needles into acupuncture points on the body. The acupuncture points are chosen according to the Chinese Medicine diagnosis process where I take an in-depth history of your menstrual cycle and your current lifestyle, combining that with the palpation of the 12 Chinese pulses on your wrists and a look at your tongue.
Chinese Medicine is an holistic medicine which looks at the root cause of your chronic condition. Each treatment is individualised works on the underlying reason of why YOU are suffering. I use a mixture of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Chinese Medicine dietary advice, Chinese Medicine lifestyle advice, supplements, as well as heat therapies like moxibustion and infrared heat lamps, to work on your underlying constitution.
Helping people with their chronic conditions is something I have loved doing!
So if you are looking for alternative and holistic way to treat your condition, then get yourself booked in today.
I really look forward to meeting you!
