Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments target the root causes of health issues, using fine needles to stimulate healing and restore balance. This method effectively addresses migraines, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal conditions by promoting natural pain relief and enhancing overall wellbeing through traditional Chinese medicine principles.
TCM Herbal Medicine
Our TGA-approved herbal tablets utilise traditional Chinese formulations to treat and prevent health conditions naturally. These remedies support pain management, immune function, and systemic balance without pharmaceuticals, offering a complementary approach to acupuncture treatments for sustained wellness and disease prevention.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy improves circulation and reduces muscle tension by creating suction on targeted areas. This technique alleviates pain from arthritis, back issues, and sports injuries while promoting detoxification and relaxation, making it ideal for those seeking non-invasive recovery solutions.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion applies heat to acupuncture points using burning mugwort to enhance blood flow and energy. This therapy addresses chronic pain, digestive issues, and fatigue by stimulating meridians, offering warmth-based healing that complements acupuncture for deeper therapeutic effects.
Trigger Point Needling
Trigger point needling targets muscular knots causing pain and restricted movement. By inserting needles directly into these points, the treatment releases tension, reduces inflammation, and restores mobility, particularly effective for neck, shoulder, and back pain related to overuse or injury.

Having been a client of Dereks for well over 6 months now & having had a history of acupuncture throughout my life, I can honestly say I am so happy to have found a practitioner of his calibre. Derek is a person with a gift for natural healing in a number of fields, and has a genuine desire for his clients to be well & lead healthy & productive lives. Ive found that his knowledge, understanding & execution of acupuncture is far and above the norm, he goes out of his way to achieve wellness for his clients in so many ways, and as a consequence he delivers. There are very few others out there

Del was fabulous! Made sure I felt calm and comfortable, and took the time to understand everything in my life that might be contributing to my overall health. Really helped relieve my back pain and my ongoing struggle with anxiety. Highly recommend!!

Had a massage last Thurs, I am so glad my daughter talked me into going. I will be returning, found Dr. Derek very professional explaining things to me with the end result, leaving feeling very relaxed and with great free movement. I recommend Dr. Derek. :)

Derek is amazing at what he does! I use to suffer from horrible migraines daily that really put a strain on what I could and couldn't do everyday. I had tried everything, from a neurologist, tablets, doctors, everything. Until I started seeing Derek, with lots of knowledge behind what he is doing, he has really changed my life, with my migraines never really occurring at all anymore after only a month. Would HIGHLY recommend!
