TCM & Acupuncture🪷
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) covers acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine and acupressure, and is widely practised alongside massage in Australia. Acupuncture uses fine, single-use needles at specific points to influence the body's energy flow, while cupping uses suction cups to ease muscle tension. TCM practitioners take a holistic view of health, so your first visit usually starts with a detailed consultation.

Most people feel only a brief pinch or a dull ache when needles are placed, and many find the session relaxing. Needles are single-use and very fine.
It depends on your condition. Acute issues may improve after a few visits, while long-standing problems often need a short course. Your practitioner should give you a plan after the first consultation.
Many Australian health funds pay a rebate for acupuncture performed by a registered practitioner, provided you have extras cover. Check with your fund and ask the clinic about their registration.
