Acupuncture Brighton SA
I recently visited Melbourne to visit a colleague from my association who practices Acupuncture Brighton SA.
He asked me to join him at a conference of physiotherapists to deliver a seminar on the effectiveness of acupuncture for sports injuries. Acupuncture has been part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years but more recently it has gained popularity in the west with doctors and physios.
For those who have never had acupuncture, It involves inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points on the body to restore balance and encourage the body to heal itself. It was interesting to note that the Victorian government has a website which promotes better health through acupuncture.
Choosing an experienced professional
Some healthcare practitioners offer acupuncture after completing a short course. However, the philosophy and practice of acupuncture is complex, so you should only use a qualified acupuncturist. You don’t need a referral from your doctor to see an acupuncturist and can find a qualified professional at Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA)
Our seminar in Acupuncture Brighton SA focused on sports injuries, but as a complete treatment is used to effectively treat several conditions, such as muscle spasms, chronic back problems, headaches, and migraines. Acupuncture also helps treat osteoarthritis, allergies, digestive problems, mood, and depression.
Here in SA there are a number of clinics offering Acupuncture Brighton SA. If you have never visited a clinic before, then it is advisable that you find a qualified professional. Call them to discuss your condition before making an appointment. That is something you cannot do with your local GP.
The number of treatments you may need depends on your condition. In most cases, people experience a reduction in symptoms within a few sessions. All of my patients are treated as individuals and all efforts are made to tailor a treatment plan that suits their conditions and needs. So if you are seeking Acupuncture Brighton SA then consider these facts.
There are many Acupuncture Brighton SA clinics but which is the best one for you?
Essential acupuncture clinic is the most referred clinic in Brighton as patients have excellent treatment and service. Call now to make a booking or visit the website to read more.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
