Our Melbourne Acupuncture Clinic Benefits
What are the Benefits of Acupuncture?
- Improved blood flow for improved health
- Deep relaxation due to your body’s natural endorphin release
- Pain reduction
- We’re treating both the symptom and the root cause at the same time
- Drug-free healing
Acupuncture uses ‘hair-thin’ needles to stimulate improved blood flow to the areas of your body that need it.
A long time ago, the Chinese figured out that if you press in a particular place on the body, it will stimulate blood flow and recovery of muscles and organs elsewhere in the body.
Good blood flow leads to better health. This is because everything your body needs to function well is in your blood.
Acupuncture stimulates your body’s natural repair and regeneration ability for better health.
What Happens at An Acupuncture Treatment Session?
An acupuncture session typically lasts for up to 45 minutes. Your Chinese medicine practitioner will talk to you about how your health issue is progressing to see if they have to make any adjustments to treatment. Your practitioner will also read your pulse.
You’ll then lie on one of our comfy heated beds. We’ll do your acupuncture and then leave you in blissful quiet to enjoy the deep healing and relaxation that acupuncture can bring.
Many patients say they walk in and then float out!
Can Anyone Do Acupuncture in Melbourne?
No, only health professionals registered as acupuncturists (or GPs with endorsement) with AHPRA can provide you acupuncture. The Chinese Medicine Board of Australia regulates the industry.
Other Melbourne practitioners may do ‘dry needling’, which uses the same needles as we do but it generally is done for muscle problems in the location of the pain.
The History of Acupuncture in Melbourne
When looking for acupuncture in Melbourne use the above tips to find the right practitioner for you.
According to acupuncture.com.au there are over 200 acupuncturists in Melbourne. Acupuncture has long been available in Melbourne, particularly from Acupuncture practitioners migrating to Australia from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Some of the first acupuncture clinics opened up in Melbourne back in the 1960s and 70s, but were typically in areas with higher Asian populations. Asians were much more familiar with acupuncture and also spoke the same language as practitioners. I sometimes come across people who recall receiving acupuncture in Melbourne back in the 1970s, but these are few and far between.
Acupuncture Grows in Melbourne
Acupuncture in Melbourne has grown considerably since the 1970s. Originally dominated by Asian practitioners, more and more Caucasian practitioners have studied acupuncture and Chinese medicine and opened acupuncture clinics in Melbourne. Well regarded and comprehensive acupuncture courses are offered in Melbourne by RMIT and Southern School of Natural Therapies.
There are Chinese medicine practitioners in the Melbourne CBD as well as Melbourne’s Northern suburbs including Moonee Ponds, Essendon, Brunswick and Strathmore. There is a higher density of practices closer towards Melbourne city.
In Melbourne there are plenty of clinic choices so:
- Have a good look at websites
- Look at Google or other reviews
- Understand what they are good at.
