Acupuncture

Looking for acupuncture near me? Widely used for centuries in Asia, acupuncture has gained popularity worldwide as a complementary therapy in holistic health care. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. It’s based on the concept of balancing the body's vital energy, known as "qi," which flows through pathways called meridians. By targeting these points, acupuncture aims to alleviate various ailments, including pain, stress, and digestive issues.

Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association

The Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA) is the peak professional organisation in Australia for Chinese medicine practitioners including acupuncturists, Chinese herbalists, Chinese herbal dispensers and traditional remedial massage practitioners.

What is a
Acupuncturist

An acupuncturist is a practitioner trained to insert fine needles at specific points on the body. In Australia, acupuncturists are registered with AHPRA through the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia, and most complete a bachelor degree in Chinese medicine or acupuncture. Some physiotherapists and doctors also use acupuncture or dry needling. At a first appointment, the acupuncturist asks about your health history, explains the treatment and places needles for a short time. You do not need a referral. Check with your health fund about extras cover for acupuncture.

What Issues Can Acupuncture Address?

Ongoing Pain

Some people find acupuncture helpful for long-term pain such as lower back pain, neck pain or knee osteoarthritis. Research suggests it may offer short-term relief for certain pain. It is usually used alongside exercise, physiotherapy or GP advice.

Headaches and Migraine

Health Hunter
Some evidence suggests acupuncture may help reduce how often tension headaches or migraines occur for some people. Your GP can also check the cause of frequent or severe headaches, and acupuncture may be part of your plan.

Nausea Relief

Health Hunter
Acupuncture and acupressure are sometimes used for nausea, including nausea linked to cancer treatment or pregnancy. Some research suggests they may help. If you are pregnant or having cancer treatment, let your doctor know you are having acupuncture.

Stress and Relaxation

Health Hunter
Many people say they feel calmer after acupuncture, and some use it for everyday stress. If stress or anxiety affects your daily life, your GP or a psychologist can also help.

Sleep Difficulties

Health Hunter
Some people try acupuncture for poor sleep or insomnia, often alongside better sleep habits. If sleep problems last more than a few weeks, your GP can also check for causes such as stress, pain or sleep apnoea.

Period Pain

Health Hunter
Some people use acupuncture for painful periods, and a few studies suggest it may ease period pain. Severe or worsening period pain can be a sign of endometriosis or another condition, so see your GP promptly if this happens.
