    For many years, acupuncture has been used as part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). To restore balance and aid in the body's healing process, little needles may be put into certain parts of the skin.

     

    In this article, we will learn more about acupuncture and how it may help you.

     

    Acupuncturist Treatment Methods

    According to the National Library of Medicine, ”In Australia, acupuncture became a registered profession in 2000 in the state of Victoria; national registration of acupuncturists was made mandatory in 2012. Up to now, over 4000 practitioners have registered with the Chinese Medicine Board of Australia (CMBA.)”

     

    Acupuncture has been used to address back pain, disc bulges, neck pain, nerve pain, and a range of other musculoskeletal health issues.

     

    Acupuncturists may use a range of techniques and treatments to help your body heal. Here are a couple of examples:

     

    • Chinese herbs, either freshly prepared by the acupuncturist or in the form of tablets or granules
    • instead of needles, a laser may be used to activate acupuncture sites
    • TCM remedial massages.

    Selecting the right acupuncturist for you and your family

    Following training, some healthcare practitioners are able to practise acupuncture. However, due to the complexity of acupuncture philosophy, the services of a skilled acupuncturist is necessary. 


    The number of treatments required in acupuncture will be determined by your condition. Most patients see an improvement after only a few sessions of acupuncture. One of the goals of acupuncture is to restore your body's natural energy balance. Once this is achieved, you may no longer need to see an acupuncturist.
