Since opening in May 2021, The Health Clinic has made it through a pandemic, four months of lockdowns and then another six months of practice restrictions – tough on a new business but essential for our community and our clients’ safety.
Very happy to say we are still here and still loving meeting and welcoming new people and patients into our clinic every day!
At The Health Clinic we use traditional Chinese medicine and techniques such as acupuncture, cupping, guasha, moxa and Chinese herbal medicine. As well as our on-site treatment appointments for acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, The Health Clinic offers online telehealth appointments for Chinese herbal medicine.
Both Stephen and Mary are members of Acupuncture NZ and are ACC treatment providers. We have extensive experience with women’s health, male and female fertility, digestive and respiratory conditions, skin allergies and other dermatological issues, anxiety, stress or emotional concerns, sleep problems, and/or any musculoskeletal injuries/pain. Now as the weather starts warming up, keep us in mind if you or your family have spring hay fever or sinusitis problems.
We are very excited to spread the word that Chinese medicine (acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine) is now accepted as an Allied Health profession under the Ministry of Health’s Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act. This recognises the healthcare benefits of Chinese medicine and the profession’s university degree level of training, and puts us on par with physiotherapists and chiropractors for instance.
Since this inclusion, the profession has formed a new regulatory council, the Chinese Medical Council. The Council’s job is to help regulate Chinese medicine training and practice in New Zealand to ensure professional standards, and the safety of both patients and practitioners.
In the time that The Health Clinic has been open, we have had such amazing support from our patients. It is just the most rewarding job to see many great treatment results, even some of which are life changing. To see our patients smiling and relaxed after a treatment and eager to carry on thanks to the improvements they are experiencing is what we are here for.
We look forward to working with all our existing clients, welcoming many new ones and supporting the local community of Grey Lynn, Ponsonby and surrounding areas.Happy Spring to everyone.
Mary and Stephen @ The Health Clinic.
