Discover the Power of Acupuncture at Remedy This Health Clinic in Adelaide

At Remedy This Health Clinic in Adelaide, we harness the ancient art of acupuncture to deliver personalised care tailored to your unique needs. Our expert practitioners are skilled in Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Acupuncture, seamlessly blending these distinct styles to optimize your health and well-being. Below, we explore the differences between these acupuncture practices and how we use them to create bespoke treatments for our patients.

Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

What It Is

Rooted in over 2,500 years of Taoist philosophy, Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCA) focuses on balancing Qi (life force energy) through meridians to harmonize yin and yang.

How We Use It at Remedy This

• Techniques: Our practitioners insert needles deeper (0.5–2 inches) to stimulate qi, often using thicker needles (0.25–0.4 mm) and techniques like moxibustion (warming acupoints with mugwort) or cupping to enhance circulation.

• Diagnosis: We conduct thorough assessments using pulse, tongue, and symptom analysis to address both symptoms and underlying causes.

• Best For: Patients with chronic pain, digestive issues, or complex internal conditions benefit from TCA’s robust approach.

Why Choose It?

At Remedy This, we use TCA for those seeking powerful, comprehensive treatments to restore balance and vitality.

Japanese Acupuncture

What It Is

Evolving from Chinese acupuncture, Japanese acupuncture emphasizes precision and minimal intervention, developed with input from blind practitioners during Japan’s Edo period (1603–1868).

How We Use It at Remedy This

• Techniques: We employ shallow needle insertion (0.1–0.3 inches) with ultra-thin needles (0.16–0.2 mm) for gentle stimulation, often using guide tubes for comfort. Direct moxibustion (tiny moxa cones) and non-insertive teishin tools are also utilized.

• Diagnosis: Our practitioners rely on abdominal (hara) palpation to pinpoint meridian imbalances, ensuring precise point selection.

• Best For: Sensitive patients, children, or those seeking subtle yet effective treatments.

Why Choose It?

Japanese acupuncture at Remedy This offers a soothing, patient-centered experience, perfect for those who prefer a lighter touch.

Korean Acupuncture

What It Is

Korean acupuncture, influenced by Chinese medicine and Confucian principles, features unique systems like Saam Acupuncture and Constitutional Acupuncture, focusing on individualized care based on body constitution.

How We Use It at Remedy This

• Techniques: We use moderately deep needle insertion (0.3–1 inch) with medium-gauge needles (0.2–0.3 mm), tailoring stimulation to your constitution. Our signature Koryo Sooji Chim (hand acupuncture) treats the whole body through hand acupoints.

• Diagnosis: Treatments are customized using five-element theory or Sasang typology to balance your physical and emotional health.

• Best For: Patients seeking highly personalized care for stress, fatigue, or constitutional imbalances.

Why Choose It?

Korean acupuncture at Remedy This provides a tailored approach, ensuring treatments align with your unique body and lifestyle.
