Do you suffer from pain?
Pain is the most common symptom presenting at Queanbeyan Acupuncture. Pain may be associated with migraine, headache, hayfever and sinus issues. Pain may also be experienced during menstruation, with bloating and constipation, arthritis and even with sporting injuries such as sprains and strains.
Pain can be both acute and chronic (short and long term) and may be managed with acupuncture. Recent evidence shows that acupuncture releases endorphins (your natural pain inhibitors).

What if I am afraid of needles?
Many people are afraid of needles. Acupuncture needles are quite small and often painless. Acupressure is an option for those with a serious phobia.
