Conditions We Support
Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses a broad spectrum of concerns through the root-cause lens — not symptom suppression, but constitutional rebalancing.
We have a special clinical interest in lower back pain, insomnia, and headaches.
These three areas represent Ken's deepest clinical focus — conditions that respond strongly to TCM's constitutional approach when conventional therapies have offered only partial relief. The same framework applies across the full range of concerns listed below: Ken treats the pattern, not just the symptom.
All treatments are available in-clinic at G3/1 Archibald Street, Box Hill, or via professional home visit within 10 km.
Conditions we address.
Pain & Musculoskeletal Support
Chronic lower back pain, frozen shoulder, cervical stiffness, sciatica, joint pain, and general musculoskeletal discomfort. Acupuncture, Tuina, cupping, and Gua Sha each address different layers of the pain pattern.
Insomnia & Sleep Quality
Difficulty falling or staying asleep, early waking, unrefreshing sleep, and dream-disturbed rest. TCM identifies the internal imbalance — Heart, Liver, or Kidney patterns — driving each patient's specific insomnia presentation.
Headache Management
Tension headaches, migraines, occipital neuralgia, and cervicogenic headaches. Treatment frequency and severity typically reduce over a course of sessions as the underlying pattern is addressed.
Mental & Emotional Health
Stress, anxiety, low mood, and emotional fatigue. TCM's constitutional approach considers the interplay between emotional and physical health — a relationship central to Chinese medical theory for millennia.
Digestive Disorders
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating, reflux, constipation, and functional gastrointestinal concerns. Moxibustion and acupuncture work together to regulate digestive Qi and warm the middle burner.
Gynaecological Health
Menstrual irregularities, painful periods, fertility support, perimenopause, and hormonal balance. TCM offers a nuanced framework for gynaecological health that complements conventional care.
Respiratory Conditions
Seasonal allergies, sinusitis, chronic rhinitis, and respiratory immunity. The Seasonal Moxibustion (San Fu & San Jiu) programme is specifically designed to strengthen Wei Qi and reduce susceptibility across seasons.
Paediatric Conditions & Immunity
Immunity enhancement and paediatric concerns including recurrent colds, digestive complaints, and sleep difficulties in children. Ken tailors needle depth, technique, and session duration for younger patients.
Skin & Dermatology
Acne, eczema, psoriasis, and inflammatory skin conditions approached through internal TCM pattern differentiation. External symptoms are understood as expressions of internal imbalance.
Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat
Tinnitus, dry eyes, blurred vision, sinusitis, and EENT concerns addressed through acupuncture and Chinese herbal support targeting the relevant meridians and organ systems.
Pregnancy Support
Nausea, pelvic girdle pain, fatigue, and preparation for labour. Ken uses safe, pregnancy-adapted acupuncture protocols throughout the various stages.
Note: Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are complementary therapies. They do not replace the advice, diagnosis, or treatment of a registered medical doctor. Ken encourages open communication with your GP and allied health team — collaborative care consistently produces the best patient outcomes.
