Acupuncture
Australian Acupuncture Centre (AAC) is dedicated to delivering high-quality, caring and effective acupuncture and Chinese medicine health care for various conditions.
While there are many different styles of acupuncture practiced throughout the world today, the two main styles practiced at AAC are classical Japanese acupuncture & traditional Chinese acupuncture. Extensive training, industry experience and a focus on professionalism allows our staff to be in the lead when it comes to the treatment of a wide variety of conditions or to integrate their traditional systems of care into the health care plans of other professionals.
At AAC, acupuncture consultations follow a particular process, beginning with a complete case history taking and a series of traditional examinations.
Quality case history taking and traditional examination lead to the formation of a working Chinese medicine diagnosis. This, in turn, helps the acupuncturist understand the nature of the presenting complaint. From this point, informed decisions can be made regarding the direction the consultation should take. Suppose other options, such as herbal medicine moxibustion, massage, exercise therapy, dietary advice or the services of another health care professional, are indicated. In that case, moxibustion, massage, exercise therapy, dietary advice or the services of another health care professional are indicated. Then they can be incorporated into the treatment plan as needed.
Patients are invited to contact our reception with any questions they might have about whether acupuncture is suitable for their particular situation.
