Conditions
Our practitioners aim to provide support and reduce the symptoms associated with common conditions.
Pain
Pain is associated with many common conditions including Headaches, Migraines, Neck Pain, Back Pain, Muscle Pain, Arthritis, Muscle Problems and Sports Injuries.
Acupuncture may relieve (both sensory and affective) inflammatory pain. This occurs through activation of a variety of bioactive chemicals through peripheral, spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms. (Zhang et al 2014 – Mechanisms of acupuncture in persistent pain).
Migraine prophylaxis
For migraine prophylaxis, acupuncture was rated as ‘effective’ in the Australian DVA review (2010) and ‘evidence of positive effect’ in the USVA Evidence map of acupuncture {2014} (5, 6). [More about Migraine Acupuncture]
Headache
The most recent Cochrane systematic review update confirmed that acupuncture is effective for frequent episodic and chronic tension-type headaches with moderate to low quality evidence (43). A brief review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses described acupuncture as having a ‘potentially important role as part of a treatment plan for migraine, tension-type headache, and several different types of chronic headache disorders’ (44).

Low back pain
In a systematic review of 32 randomised controlled trials for acupuncture treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain, acupuncture was superior (both statistically and clinically significant) to sham acupuncture in pain reduction and improved function immediately after treatment (46).

Knee osteoarthritis pain was rated as ‘evidence of potential positive effect’ in the USVA Evidence map of acupuncture (2014) (5, 6).
