It is well known that current treatments for chronic pain rely heavily on pain killers. While the effects of these drugs are rapid and their use widely accepted, many have known toxicities and often provide inadequate relief.

At Functional Acupuncture Melbourne we provide safe, well-tolerated, and effective pain relief treatments, which may include:

• Acupuncture
• Low-frequency Electrostimulation
• Dry needling
• Myofascial release
• Trigger point therapy
• Deep tissue massage
• Cupping therapy
• Infrared therapy
• Red light therapy

Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, our Pain Management protocols are customised to your specific circumstances and needs. Following a general assessment, we will review the severity of your symptoms and establish realistic goals.

Your plan may consist of several acupuncture sessions. Throughout these sessions, we will closely monitor your progress and adjust the techniques and the overall plan as necessary. Depending on your condition, you may begin to experience improvements after your first session, but it’s common to undergo a series of treatments to get complete or optimal resolution of your pain.

While we would love to see all our patients walk pain-free, sometimes, depending on individual situations, the goal is to reduce the pain to a more manageable level and improve overall quality of life.
