7 common myths about Acupuncture – BUSTED!

1.    “I’m scared of needles...It will hurt”

Acupuncture needles are ultra-thin—as thin as a strand of hair. Nothing gets injected or drawn out. Most people feel nothing or just a light tingle upon insertion.

 2.    “It doesn’t even work”

Actually, it's backed by science. Acupuncture stimulates nerves, muscles, and connective tissue to restore your body’s natural balance, easing pain, stress, and tension.

3.    “It’s only for muscle pain”

Research shows it can help with:

Chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances…and more

4.    “It’s too expensive”

I understand that cost matters. To support accessibility, i offer health fund rebates (where applicable), occasional discounts, such as promo offers, loyalty & birthday rewards.

5.    “I don’t have time”

Sessions last about 90 minutes & include consultation, massage, acupuncture, & another modality if you want. If you’re short on time, I’m happy to tailor the session to fit your schedule.

6.    “It’s not for people like me”

Acupuncture is for everyone - athletes, mums, tradies, busy professionals. People of all ages. Whether you’re dealing with stress, pain or just want to relax

7.    “I tried dry needling/Acupuncture once & it didn’t work.”

Healing often takes a few sessions, especially with chronic issues—just like going to the gym or therapy. Dry needling is a different technique

From infants to seniors of all different types of professions, I use gentle methods to make acupuncture as comfortable for you as possible. It’s a holistic approach addressing internal and external health issues, backed by science. Healing takes time - just like most things, one session might not be enough but you should feel some relief.
