One in five adults in Australia lives with chronic pain, and the cost in quality of life and productivity is immense. At Rozelle Acupuncture, our team has a special interest in chronic pain management.
Research consistently supports acupuncture as a clinically effective and cost-effective intervention for chronic pain. A landmark meta-analysis published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that acupuncture was associated with significantly better outcomes compared to sham acupuncture and no acupuncture for chronic lower back, neck, shoulder, and osteoarthritis pain.
Further research by MacPherson et al (2017) found that the pain relief from acupuncture was sustained 12 months after treatment completion, demonstrating that the benefits are not merely temporary.
Our treatment approach for chronic pain combines acupuncture with adjunct therapies including cupping, moxibustion, and Tuina massage, tailored specifically to your condition, pain pattern, and health history. We treat all forms of chronic pain including lower back pain, neck pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and post-surgical pain.
