New Patients

We are delighted to welcome you to Functional Acupuncture Melbourne.

We are based in the Natural Pain Solutions Clinic, Banksia Building Centre in Ringwood, just across the street from Ringwood Lake. Set back from the road yet easy to find, our clinic offers easy access and plenty of parking. The peaceful and relaxing atmosphere makes it a wonderful place to focus on your healing.

Our process for patients new to the practice is simple and straight forward:

COMPLETE ONLINE QUESTIONNAIRE

After your initial booking and payment are confirmed, you will receive an email with a link to an online questionnaire.

Please allow enough time for this and submit the completed questionnaire as soon as possible, but no later than one day before your appointment.

First Visit Icon
YOUR FIRST TIME VISIT

Congratulations for taking the first step towards finding and addressing the root causes of your health issues.

Your first consultation includes a comprehensive health assessment, an overview of our approach, and a discussion of treatment options. If you have booked an initial acupuncture session, you will also receive your first acupuncture treatment during this appointment.

Prescription Icon
YOUR FIRST PRESCRIPTION

Sit back and relax while your prescription is prepared. Our commitment to bespoke herbal medicine means we’ve intentionally curated a limited selection of off-the-shelf products. While most of our herbal formulas are carefully crafted in-house, some items may require outsourcing.

You will receive a text message notification when your customized prescription is ready for pickup. Alternatively, we can arrange for doorstep delivery. This may take 3-5 days.

Appointment Icon
FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT

A follow-up appointment is scheduled to review your treatment plan, discuss any additional testing or treatment recommendations, and collect your prescription. We will also book your next appointments or acupuncture sessions at this time.
