Best Acupuncture Clinic in Mid North Coast
Alchemy in Bellingen was recently named one of the best places to go for Acupuncture in NSW by the Sunday Telegraph's Body and Soul magazine. The top 13 clinics throughout NSW were listed with Alchemy being the only centre nominated on the Mid North Coast.
"This colourful centre offers acupuncture among a range of services, including naturopathy, homeopathy, massage and herbal medicine. Practitioner David Whitmore uses acupuncture to regulate nerves, blood vessels and the lymphatic system. Other related techniques used include moxibustion (burning herbs held over acupuncture points), deep tissue massage and cupping. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific body points and works by helping the flow of an energy force called qi (pronounced 'chee') to circulate freely around the body. It can help address health problems including acute and chronic pain, reproductive challenges, skin conditions and psychological issues."
David studied Traditional Chinese Medicine in Melbourne under one of Australia's foremost Chinese Medicine doctors, Professor Lun Wong. David went on to further training in Sydney in the areas of pain relief and spinal & sports injuries. Since moving to Bellingen two years ago, his clinical focus has expanded to include mental health and women's health. 'It has been a great two years here in Bellingen, easily the best part of my professional life.' says David, 'I'm lucky to practice from a fantastic health centre with friendly staff, beautiful rooms, and patients who work hard on their health. That makes my job a pleasure!'
