Areas of clinical focus

Acupuncture has been shown to provide short-term relief for:

  • Tension and migraine headaches

  • Chronic low back and neck pain

  • Temporomandibular (TMD/TMJ) pain

  • Temporary adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain


Acupuncture may also help to relieve the symptoms of the following:

    • Menopausal hot flushes

    • Perimenopausal & postmenopausal insomnia

    • Restless leg syndrome

    • Shoulder impingement syndrome (early stage) with exercise or physio support

    • Dry eye

    • Joint sensitivity*

    *During the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, many women notice increased joint sensitivity. Research suggests acupuncture can help by modulating sensory perception thresholds, supporting your body’s ability to manage physical discomfort and helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
