Carla Chesters - Acupuncture

Carla Chesters - Acupuncture Acupuncture IS the drug free alternative. Eg: Do I work on slipped discs? The answer lies in the very foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Carla has been in clinical practice now (despite a brief sabbatical) since 2007 and enjoys all aspects of the human body and it’s response to acupuncture. She has special interests in:
• fertility /reproductive health (including IVF and assisted fertility programs)
• arthritis
• chronic and acute joint pain
• lower back pain

“I am often asked if I ‘do’ a certain type of acupuncture. If there is pain we ease it. If there is obstruction, we clear it. If there is deficiency, we build it. If there is excess, we reduce it. All aspects of human health can be broken down to a Traditional Chinese Medicine viewpoint and this is how I treat. What this means, is that two people both presenting with lower back pain, may be treated very differently from each other. The presenting symptom is pain, but the cause of the pain is unlikely to be exactly the same as each other. Hence, we treat the cause which makes acupuncture a very unique and successful way of treating”.

Gallbladder 21. Great point for neck, shoulder pain and one I use regularly. HOWEVER this point is contraindicated in pregnancy as it can initiate labour. So,unless you are ready for the baby to come out (ideally post 38 weeks) please don’t let anyone needle this point on you. (Side note, Ahpra registered acupuncturists know about the contraindicated points- but lots of people are using needles these days!) 🌸🌸

Helllllooo! Just letting you all know I’m heading to China at the end of next week 🥳🥳. It’s a bucket list item for me (as I’m sure you can imagine). I have a visit to a Traditional Chinese Medicine school scheduled, so I’m VERY excited about that. I’m back in clinic on the 23rd of September but available to make bookings from the 17th. Ciao beautiful people! 🌸🌸

Power and phone service restored this afternoon! 10 days. Highly do not recommend! If you have tried to contact me in the last few days, chances are that it didn’t come through. Back to business as usual this week. And breathe. ❤️❤️

Hey team! Today is day six with zero power. I’ve been contacting people directly the afternoon before and the morning of their appointment to either give the green light or the red. So far it’s only red ones 🥲. Expected date of fix for us is the 16th of March so a few more action filled days ahead for me 😂. I hope you all made it out with minimal damage. We lost three big trees and my beloved clothes line. Picture below! I’ll see you when I can. Lotsa love from me to you! ❤️❤️
