An ACC-approved Chinese acupuncture clinic on Sussex Street in Grey Lynn, Auckland, practising traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Treatment combines acupuncture with personalised Chinese herbal medicine, and the clinic offers cosmetic acupuncture as well.
The clinic lists pain relief and injury recovery, women's health (including hormonal regulation and cycle concerns), fertility support for natural conception and IVF, and skin concerns among its services. The website says acupuncture supports the body's own pain-relieving mechanisms, and it is suited to people who want a natural approach to pain, who are experiencing side effects from medication, or who have acute or chronic pain.
Clients who have written reviews describe relief from back, neck and shoulder pain, improvement in a long-running foot injury after surgery, and a return of regular menstrual cycles after several months without. One reviewer had been in pain for over a year with no change from physiotherapy, and says acupuncture made a difference within weeks. Another describes clearing eczema within a month of treatment. Parents write about a child's improvement after a month of treatment. Reviews are positive throughout.
The clinic is at 57 Sussex Street, Grey Lynn. Our pick in Grey Lynn for someone who wants TCM with acupuncture and herbs, including for women's health.
