Other therapies

Your practitioner may use other Chinese medical techniques in conjunction with acupuncture.

​

Nutrition and supplements

What we eat can have a big impact on our health, so Chinese nutritional advice may form part of your treatment plan. Your practitioner may also recommend taking certain dietary supplements or gentle herbal remedies.

​

Moxibustion

During moxibustion, a herb is used to warm parts of the body or specific acupuncture points in order to trigger a particular response in the body.

​

Tui na

Tui na is a form of Chinese medical massage used when there is pain and stiffness. It can also be used to help other symptoms like certain digestions problems.

​

Cupping therapy

During cupping therapy, a glass cup is suctioned onto the skin to improve blood flow, free fascia, and trigger a healing response within the body.

​

Gua sha

During gua sha treatment, a blunt edge is press-stroked over the skin to increase blood supply to muscles and trigger the release of an enzyme that reduces inflammation and influences immunity.
