Yes. Potential risks are outlined in the consent form. The own risk about 1% is slightly bleeding and serious side effects are very rare – less than one per 10,000 treatments

Yes. There are many large studies on acupuncture, and it is statistically significantly better than placebo. Many patients, such as headache sufferers, may expect immediate relief of symptoms.

Generally, no. However, we recommend you having routine meals, avoiding coffee 2 hours before the consultation, and choosing cloth with easy access to forearms and legs.

Acupuncture is much less painful than injections due to thin needles we use. Most people can easily tolerate it. Patients may experience acupuncture specific sensation, called Deqi. The sensation can be felt like tingling, numbness or warmth in various parts of body. The Deqi sensation normally lasts seconds

Brief introduction to our clinic and Chinese medicine

Wodonga Chinese Medicine Clinic (WCMC) is set up in September 2003. The practitioner Xuejian (James) Liu started working in Wodonga – Albury since 2000.

OUR CONDITIONS:

There are 3 large treating rooms, 1 reception room, 1 dispenser room, 1 kitchen, 1 large and comfortable waiting room, 1 large (45 square meters) storehouse. WCMC imports high quality concentrated herbal granules from overseas. All paper work in WCMC is done by computer which is faster, safer, easier and confidential. The computer system is designed for 100 staff working together. WCMC fully protects privacy for our patients.

DISEASE UNDERSTANDING:

When healthy, an abundant supply of qi or “life energy” flows through the body’s meridians (a network of invisible channels through the body). If the flow of qi in the meridians becomes blocked or there is an inadequate supply of qi, then the body fails to maintain harmony, balance and order, and disease or illness follows. This can result from stress, overwork, lifestyle, poor diet, disease pathogens, weather and environmental conditions. Chinese Medicine practitioners look carefully for these possible causes, paying particular attention to not only the presenting condition, but also the medical history, general constitution, and the pulse and tongue.

INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICE:

Chinese Medicine (CM) has an uninterrupted history of development in China dating back 5,000 years. Clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment principles are based on the theoretical frameworks of CM, which seeks to identify underlying symptom patterns that indicate how the body is or has become dysfunctional. Diagnosis and treatment is specifically individualized and each person is treated uniquely.

HOLISTIC MEDICINE:

At WCMC we strive to treat all our patients in holistic way, integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, Tuina, nutritional advice and lifestyle suggestions that will enhance long term health and prevent illness. By treating imbalance and energy disorder, Chinese medicine resolves the cause of health problems to restore complete health and maximize the body’s abilities of self-healing. Clinical decision-making and patient management strategies are also influenced by contemporary Western approaches to health care, including infection control practices and known interactions of herbal medicines with pharmaceuticals and other therapeutic substances.
