FREEDOM ACUPUNCTURE

 The body has an innate ability to heal itself given the right environment and building blocks, acupuncture helps to provide those key ingredients, and thus support the body's own healing process.  In doing so, you are not simply treating the symptoms, but rather treating the core problem and in many cases, finding a permanent solution to your health concern.

There are many ‘styles’ of acupuncture being practiced by acupuncturists around the world, meaning if you saw five different acupuncturist you could potentially receive five different treatments.  Some styles maybe work better at treating certain conditions, but essentially, they all work.  At Freedom acupuncture Jacqui practices a relatively new style of acupuncture known as Neoclassical Acupuncture (NCA).  ‘Neo’ meaning New and ‘classical’ meaning traditional.  Essentially the founder of this acupuncture technique, Dr Slate Burris, studied the ancient Chinese texts, and came up with his own interpretation of their meaning, which is a little different many past interpretations.  And thus an  amazing new system of acupuncture was born based on these ancient theories.

Neoclassical Acupuncture  is a total paradigm shift from any other systems of acupuncture.  Instead of focusing on the symptom or even the cause of the symptoms, the focus is instead on finding blockages within the body.  What are blockages? Call them what you like, but they present as tender areas at seemingly random areas around the body.  These tender areas are identified by the practitioner by systematically palpating (pressing) specific areas on the abdomen, arms and legs.  The feedback from the patient then becomes the basis for the diagnosis, and the practitioner can then identify which acupuncture points to use.

So instead of focusing on specific symptoms or areas of the body i.e.to treat  the shoulder, this acupuncture system is optimising the healing processes throughout the entire body not just the shoulder,  allowing the body to heal itself, no matter what the symptom is or where it is, whether it be pain, autoimmune, digestive, fertility or hormonal etc.  This means if someone has multiple health issues, they will all begin healing from the very first treatment.  

And a bonus, usually far fewer needles are required, typically no more than 5 needles are used in a treatment, often as few as one needle.  In addition, the number of treatments required is usually less than what other styles of acupuncture require.  For acute issues typically three treatments are required, and for chronic issues three to six treatments are usually required in total. 

Jacqui  initially started studying Neoclassical Acupuncture in 2022, but found the results inconsistent in the beginning, and so would often revert back to what she knew understood previously.  Because she knew the potential, she continued doing further study whenever the founder of this system came to Australia.  She is now at the highest level attainable and the results speak for themselves, simply amazing!

For optimal results we ask new clients to book in for three treatments within their first week.  If more treatments are required weekly treatments are acceptable after that.
