Dr Giffard is excited to be to be bringing medical acupuncture to The Lindisfarne Clinic after completing her Part 1 in the Australian Medical Acupuncture College fellowship course in 2021. Acupuncture has been around for centuries and can offer benefits for a range of medical conditions that has been shown in evidence based research. Acupuncture is now supported by a number of medical bodies such as Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK. Evidence for acupuncture effectiveness has been shown in many conditions that include, but are not limited to, musculoskeletal issues such as neck and back pain, prevention of post shingles neuralgia, allergic rhinitis, migraine, menopausal hot flushes, pregnancy related nausea and irritable bowel syndrome. Dr Giffard uses both traditional needles as well as laser acupuncture. She acknowledges that not all people respond to acupuncture, with around 15% of people being coined “non-responders”. A “course” of acupuncture can vary from patient to patient with some people noticing a difference in symptoms or simply an improvement in wellbeing after a single session; however many people may take 4-6 sessions before they notice some gains. More complex issues are expected to take longer periods of time before gains are made. A session is typically every 1-2 weeks. Adverse events are uncommon and if they do occur, tend to be mild. A referral is not needed to see Min to explore this option as part of a patient’s medical management, but she would like to work with your regular GP as part of a team approach.
