MAITLAND Wellness Centre has expanded its services, opening a clinic in Raymond Terrace with two fully qualified acupuncturists registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
Both practitioners hold university degrees in acupuncture, with treatments covered by most private health funds and potentially available through eligible Home Care packages.
Acupuncture has a long history of use throughout Asia, with growing research exploring its potential benefits beyond traditional pain relief.
When performed by appropriately qualified practitioners, acupuncture is considered a safe and relaxing treatment.
Unlike dry needling, which can involve considerably shorter training courses, qualified acupuncturists undertake four years of study and are trained in a range of techniques.
Lauren brings more than 25 years of experience as a registered nurse and midwife to her treatments.
While passionate about the broader benefits of acupuncture, she has a particular interest in women’s health, from fertility through to menopause and beyond.
With 30 years of experience as an acupuncturist, Bjorn is increasingly focusing on supporting patients living with chronic conditions often associated with ageing.
He is currently undertaking further studies into the use of acupuncture in supportive cancer care, neuropathy and Parkinson’s disease.
Those interested in learning more about acupuncture and its potential benefits are encouraged to contact Maitland Wellness Centre, where the team is happy to answer any questions.
