Acupuncture on Sunshine Coast

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which includes herbal medicine, exercise therapy, massage and dietetics. It is based on a history and philosophy that has developed a unique understanding of the workings of the body over the last 3,000 years. 

 

Acupuncture is the method of using fine needles to stimulate Acupuncture points.

 

Stimulating the acupuncture point effects a change in balance of the body, directing the bodies natural healing ability to affected area and restoring health.

 

Acupuncture is supremely effective to treating stress and promoting relaxation.

 

I follow the Dr Tan’s Acupuncture, which is very different to the approach taught in the west over the past 30 years. Dr Tan having learned since childhood in Taiwan wasn’t taught TCM that had been standardized during the Cultural Revolution.

 

Dr Tan’s method makes use of distal points meaning we don’t needle the affected area. Also there is little need to disrobe as points selected are usually between the knee and the foot and the elbow and the fingers.

 

Dr Tan encouraged his students to charge less so we can see you more often or intensely. For example instead of seeing you once a week we can instead see you 3 times and this frequency of treatments is vital in most cases to get a return to health.

 

Dr Tan’s method is highly effective and I am supremely grateful to have had the opportunity and to be treated and learn from him.
