Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various specific points on the body which have influence on your Qi (the body’s energy). It is based on a classical TCM theory that there are channels or meridians of energy running throughout our bodies which manage & maintain our energy flow. Each channel also corresponds to our bodily organs (internal medicine).
As 4yr degree qualified and highly trained Acupuncturists, our practitioners will insert acu pins at various places on your body, depending on the severity and nature of that condition we are treating. These can be anywhere, including in the ears (auricular acupuncture), scalp, hands and feet, limbs, tummy or back.
Acupuncture actually feels good! It induces sensations like no other modality can. Some patients report feeling their energy shifting as they lay quietly, others report deep relaxation and calmness. Whatever you feel, it won’t be scary or painful or like you’re having blood taken! Nothing of the sort…but each person has their own experience. Come and find out what yours will be…

Herbal medicine
Easy to use herbal formulas are often prescribed to support the work we do in clinic. Dr. Rebecca Brook views herbal formulas as essential in some cases, especially where patients have long term complaints-the body likes repetition, and treating yourself at home using herbs means consistency!
Giving the human body messages every day (by taking your herbs) means the body has support in-between physical acupuncture treatments.
There are variations of formulas including
capsules
tablets or pills
granules
liquid formulas
If you are prescribed a formula know that it is with purpose-to improve the condition you sought treatment for, and enhance overall health and wellbeing.
Different formulas are for different parts of the body, different organs, different chinese medicine patterns, or different conditions.

Traditional Chinese Cupping
Cupping is everywhere these days.
However, as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) our acupuncturists use cupping for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. It doesn’t just look “cool”, it serves a much broader purpose!
Traditional flame cupping utilises a heat source to remove oxygen from the cup, thus creating suction. Cups are placed on your skin in various locations, depending on your treatment. Analysis is then done and results of this diagnostic tools are used to support diagnosis/treatment. OR, we may require further investigation to enhance your treatment and optimise outcomes.
As acupuncturists, we utilise the results of your cupping for further treatment recommendations, differential diagnosis and as therapy. Being skilled with cupping techniques comes hand in hand with being a Dr. of Chinese Medicine/Acupuncturist.
Read more about some of the treatments we may use cupping for below.

Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture
Facial Cosmetic Acupuncture is a natural and positive way to support the natural cycles of the skin, and rejuvenate facial skin tone. This hour long treatment provides all the basics for healthy skin, particularly as we age.
However, some patients report skin concerns such as acne, cyclical acne, dermatitis or rosacea. These can all be addressed with acupuncture treatment, because we treat the body as a whole. The face is a reflection of the internal state of health - so let’s start looking and feeling better today!

Perimenopause online consults
With Dr. Rebecca Brook (Acu)
Both in eastern cultures and booming in popularity in the western world, we see Acupuncture as a widely used modality. So what makes Acupuncture so popular?
Easily accessible treatment
Practitioners need to be registered through AHPRA, so strict regulations and guidelines in treatment must be met
Acupuncturists perfect the art form of acupuncture needle insertion-it’s not a side note! We use this technique during our degree studies (at a minimum) 900 hours BEFORE we graduate. Experience is key when it comes to needling, and Acupuncturists have it.
It is relaxing, calming, and supports well over 100 conditions according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), and growing evidence to support acupuncture use gives this treatment mainstream momentum. Read more about acupuncture and the evidence here
