Beyond the prescription pad. A different path to pain relief.

For patients looking to manage pain without relying solely on medication, medical acupuncture offers an an evidence-informed option for certain types of acute and chronic pain.

Dr Jessica Chua is trained through the Australian Medical Acupuncture College and is an AHPRA-endorsed acupuncturist, offering this therapy within the broader context of your medical care.

Medical acupuncture can be especially helpful for patients wanting to reduce their use of strong pain medications, whether due to unwanted side effects, concerns about dependence, or a preference for a more natural, body-led approach to pain relief.

Dr Chua often combines acupuncture with complementary techniques such as dry needling, gua sha (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation), and targeted exercise prescription — reflecting her extensive background as a physiotherapist prior to specialising in general practice, and her strong clinical interest in musculoskeletal conditions and chronic pain.

The result is genuinely integrated care. Combining medical expertise, hands-on therapeutic skill, and a whole-body approach to lasting pain relief.
