Acupuncture for Stress, Anxiety and Depression
Stress is a leading cause of illness. It affects the circulatory system, organs, glands and the nervous system.
Your treatment may include Acupuncture, Naturopathy, Massage and Herbal Medicine.
Over an extended period, chronic stress can lead to health disorders such as depression, chronic immune disorders, thyroid dysfunction, menstrual disorders, infertility and chronic fatigue.
Chronic stress also affects our sense of happiness, fulfillment and ability to enjoy relationships.
At Paddington Clinic we assess your adrenal gland function, your nutritional health and other general stress markers. We determine your individual stress load and imbalances in your system.
We use this information to create a holistic program that minimises the symptoms of stress and better equips you to cope with future stress.
1. Enquiry & Booking. We understand that if you have a chronic, complex or persistent issue you might have tried a few things already.
This is why we offer a Free 15 mins consultation so you can have questions answered and make sure you feel confident in our approach.
2. Pre-Appointment. Our reception staff will send you our pre-appointment intake form to get basic details about your situation, and how to get to the clinic.
On arrival at the clinic you’ll be greeted by one of our reception staff.
3. Consultation. Initial consultations are slightly longer than follow up consults. This ensures we get a clear idea of what you need from your treatment, and what will support you during it.
4. Assessment. Your assessment will include a physical examination, and observation of movement or function of the area. We may also consider blood testing or similar.
If you are receiving Acupuncture, massage or FSM, we would also conduct a post-treatment assessment to check the level of change from the session.
5. Treatment. Your treatment will differ depending on the modality you’ve chosen. Your practitioner will describe what to expect, how the treatment works, and anticipated results.
6. Recovery Plan. At your initial consult your therapist will explain a treatment plan to best support your recovery.
The plan will be based on the therapist’s experience treating pain and injury, and what is considered the fastest way to get you pain-free.
7. Post-Appointment. The more time you have to absorb the change after a treatment the better.
We appreciate you have a life to get back to, but if you can – don’t rush! You’re welcome to sit on the deck looking at our tree with a glass of water.
8. Support and Advice. Our ultimate goal is for you to help yourself and we hope coming to the clinic will be a life changing experience.
We will share our knowledge with you as best we can so you can feel empowered and take back control of your health. If you have any questions please ask.
