Acupuncture
Acupuncture is used to promote natural healing in the body. This is commonly done by gently inserting very fine (pre-sterilised and single-use) needles into specific points of the body.
It is quite common to have a sensation of deep relaxation during and/or following an acupuncture treatment.
Most patients feel NO PAIN, (some feel a sensation like a little prickle as a needle is inserted).
Today acupuncture is practised widely in Asia, Europe, the Soviet Union, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and so on.
It is being used in numerous hospitals and medical clinics around the world.
Modern research has described various beneficial improvements following acupuncture, such as changes in the body’s:
- natural painkillers,
- anti-inflammatory agents,
- immune system functions, and
- hormonal activity.
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release the body’s healing chemicals in the soft tissues, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals can reduce the experience of pain, and trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating systems.

Both Acupuncture Brisbane practitioners have received extensive training in Neuropuncture techniques.
Neuropuncture is a special system of acupuncture that applies neuroscience and other Western medical sciences, to the classical Acupuncture model for understanding its mechanisms, and to apply these findings to diagnosis and treatment.
Neuropuncture works by predominately targeting and stimulating specific neuro tissue, and is a unique acupuncture system developed by Dr Michael Corodino **L.Ac, DAOM, MTOM. It incorporates the research of the neurophysiological mechanisms of acupuncture/electrical acupuncture’s effects on specific neural receptors, creating treatment protocols that are evidence based and clinically reproducible.
At Acupuncture Brisbane, we look carefully for signs of health and dysfunction, paying particular attention to your presenting signs and symptoms, your medical history & general constitution.
We search for underlying causes, and then design treatments specifically for you, and in consultation with you.
