Cupping and Infrared Light Treatment in Moonee Ponds

Infrared light therapy

Infrared therapy is a method that uses light to provide acute or chronic pain relief by improving blood circulation. It is a simple and painless therapy that is being continuously studied for use in various other fields of medicine.

Gua Sha (Scraping)

Gua Sha, or scraping, is a healing technique that involves rubbing/scraping the skin with a round-edged instrument. Gua means to rub or friction. Sha means congested blood at the surface of the body. When friction is applied in repeated even strokes, the sha surfaces as small red petechiae. In minutes the petechiae fade into ecchymotic patches. This patch typically disappears in 2 to 4 days. The colour and rate of fading are both diagnostic and prognostic indicators.

The purpose of Gua Sha is to improve blood circulation to the muscles, tissues, and organs directly beneath the surface treated. The majority of the time, our patients experience immediate changes in stiffness, pain and mobility. Normal metabolic processes are restored by the movement of fluids as nutrients are carried to the tissues and metabolic wastes are carried away. Because Gua Sha mimics sweating, it may also resolve fever.

After Gua Sha/Scraping, the patient is instructed to cover the area, avoiding wind and exposure to the sun or sudden temperature changes. Stretching is recommended but not a heavy workout on the day of treatment.

Cupping

The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping may be used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite.

My migraines started 6 years ago, November 2016. I had a minimum of two migraines a week. Then September and October 2022 I started getting them every day. I have been to many doctors, done scans and taken beta blockers for the past three years, no improvement. My condition was making me anxious and depressed. I would just wake up and swallow migraine tablets to get by. That is why I thought I would try acupuncture. I wish I found Dr Dennis earlier. I cannot thank him enough. I saw improvements from my first visit. He is truly skilled in his profession and is genuinely dedicated to improve your health. I still go once a week for another condition I have, but I can honestly say in these past three months I have only had the occasional mild headache. Thank you, Dr Dennis for giving me my life back.

Dennis is the main acupuncturist at this clinic and he is professional, soft-spoken and his acupuncture skills are amazing! He has helped me greatly with my chronic right shoulder pain with just a few sessions, and where other acupuncturists had failed to do. His method is accurate, painless, and efficacious. I would not hesitate to recommend Dennis to anyone seeking relief from chronic aches and pains!

I have had acupuncture as a matter of course for forty years and believe Dr Dennis Quach is the most skilful practitioner I have consulted. Dr Dennis is a highly qualified and skilled specialist with an wholistic approach to pain management, reducing the adverse effects of misplaced lifestyle choices and, age related conditions. His approach is modern, without discomfort and much improvement is achieved in a small amount of time. He is dedicated to helping his patients achieve relief from pain and also, achieve their health goals through providing the highest standard of treatment and advice. His rooms are spotlessly clean, scrupulous care is taken with procedures and COVID precautions are applied. I recommend Dr Dennis wholeheartedly.

Dr. Dennis is simply amazing and I highly recommend him! 💯👌🏼😉 I had a terrible unbalance in my digest system, I would not stop burping day and night, everything I eat was just bad to my tummy. Did food allergy and intolerance tests, every GP would just give me tablets and never fixed the root or cause of the issue. After 2 years of not seeing results I was rapidly loosing weight and heading towards depression 😢 My social life was also affected as I couldn’t go out on casual dinners with friends.💔 I found Dr. Dennis on Google search and it was like a sing from heaven 🙌🏼 he was my last shot at my gut health. I saw him twice a week for 3 months and with a combination treatment of Acupunture, Chinese medicine and a veggie diet, I slowly but shortly started feeling changes in my digestion. We started to gradually incorporate different types of veggies, fruits and meet; until one day I just realised I was eating normal and feeling myself again! 😃 It is been 2 months now since my treatment finished and I still keep a healthy diet as suggested by Dr Dennis, but have not had any issues since. So much gratitude and blessings to Dr. Dennis! You are a true Healing Angel on Earth! Thank you! 💙 Erica

I commenced treatment with Dr Dennis six weeks ago. The improvement in my flexibility is a welcome surprise. The pain relief was measurable after two weeks. I will continue these appointments and will be forever grateful for Dr. Dennis's knowledge. Five stars and then some.
