Indigo Chinese Medicine

Chinese Medicine is a complete system of medicine with our own way at understanding health, diagnosis, disease and treatment. We diagnose in terms of patterns, and patterns can often appear in more than one biological system at once therefore we treat the whole. We use tools and therapies listed below to treat based on this view of healthcare.

All practitioners of Chinese medicine are governed by AHPRA and the CMBA. In order to be a registered practitioner, we have to undergo intense degree qualifications - a 4 or 5 year process depending on the institution. Before we complete our degrees we have already undertaken 600+ hours of practical training in acupuncture, cupping, tui na (acupressure massage), moxibustion, and herbal dispensing.

Before we get started with your treatment, it is a good idea that we get the official stuff out of the way. Below contains important information which applies for all appointments. Your healthcare is important to us and when we make an appointment time it is an agreement with you and that we have made a commitment to your healthcare.

And that they love it! Based on the same principles, theories and diagnostics as acupuncture for humans, it can be applied specifically for the animal kingdom. This is exciting news for our furry friends.

As wonderful as modern medicine is, animals can encounter some limitations to modern treatment, and it's wonderful to know there are complementary therapies available to help improve quality of life with less invasive treatment (that is also enjoyable!).Rob is a fully qualified Veterinarian having graduated from the University of Melbourne with honours in 2004.
