Acupuncture

The benefits of acupuncture have been appreciated since ancient times. Modern clinical research is validating the use of acupuncture for many different conditions, while shedding light on the biological mechanisms involved.

We employ a full range of acupuncture techniques including moxibustion, cupping,

infra-red heat lamp treatments, tui na massage and electro-acupuncture as required, to bring about balance to your nervous system function, support healing and reduce pain, muscle tightness and inflammation.

Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional Medicine seeks to identify and correct chemical and metabolic imbalances in the body. Functional pathology testing, diet and lifestyle analysis and a comprehensive in-clinic assessment are performed to gain insights into your individual situation. Based on this, Specific nutritional supplements, dietary and lifestyle recommendations are prescribed to help bring you back into balance.

Herbal Medicine

Modern herbal medicine is informed by both traditional herbalism and a scientific understanding of Phytochemistry (the therapeutic chemical components of herbs.) Clinical research supports the efficacy of both eastern and western herbal medicines in supporting a number of conditions including; mood and stress disorders, hormonal issues, and digestive complaints

Testing & Assessment

A range of in-clinic screening techniques and pathology tests are used to gain insight into your individualised condition. These tests are used judiciously, only when they are of clear value in helping you achieve your health objectives and are supported by reputable evidence. Some of the screening tools and tests we use include Traditional TCM diagnostic methods, heart rate variability checks, body composition analysis, capillary blood screening, microbiome, genetic and hormonal panels and omega 3 testing,

Why choose Mend?

Patient-centred Care

We believe that everyone has the right to determine their own health journey. This is why we put you at the centre of care, taking time to explain the options, cost, evidence and risks for the various treatment options, to ensure that you are informed and empowered, every step of the way. We also understand the pressures of modern life (not everyone can live on a mountaintop drinking organic green tea forever), so we work with you to implement achievable plans than will actually work in the real world.

Evidence-Based Practice

Our assessments and treatments are informed by traditional healing methods including Chinese Medicine, eclectic herbalism and various schools of dietary medicine. Of these treatment methods, we focus on those which have been studied by modern science and shown to be the most effective. Following the principles of evidence-based care, means that we are able to provide you with the most effective solutions available.

Personalised, holistic solutions

Every individual is a unique and complex network of biochemical and electrical processes, influenced by a host of environmental effects and behaviours. Our treatment approach is tailored for your particular situation, taking into account 'the whole network' and all of the influences upon it. In doing so, we can implement solutions that are both effective and achievable for you.

Strategies that work alongside conventional medical care

Often when patients come to us, they have already tried (or a recurrently receiving) other medical care. We understand pathophysiology (the science of disease processes) and pharmacology (the science of medicine effects). Therefore, we are able to work in harmony with your current treatments, providing options that support and enhance their effect, while avoiding those that may interact or cause issues. We are also comfortable communicating with other members of your care team, to ensure everyone is on the same page in regard to your treatment plan.
