The Lane Cove rooms are at 2 Austin Street, directly opposite the Lane Cove Library and a few metres from Longueville Road. If you are coming from the village it is a walk of two or three minutes, and the parking behind the library is the easiest option in the middle of the day.
Lane Cove sends a particular mix of problems through the door. There are the desk-and-commute necks and low backs from St Leonards and the city, the shoulders and elbows of a suburb that plays a lot of tennis, and the knees and Achilles tendons that come with living on a hillside — the stairs down to Tambourine Bay and the streets off Burns Bay Road are their own kind of training load. Lane Cove also has a lot of people in their thirties and forties carrying small children, which is its own demand on a back.
A first appointment is mostly questions and movement testing: where the pain is, what makes it worse, what it stops you doing, and how it has behaved over weeks rather than days. From there you should leave knowing what is proposed, roughly how long it is expected to take, and what would mean changing the plan.
Worth bringing: any imaging or specialist letters you already have, a list of medications, and the shoes you actually walk or train in. If the pain is new and severe, follows a significant fall, or comes with numbness, weakness, fever or any change in bladder or bowel control, see a doctor first — that is a medical assessment, not a treatment question.
The nearest alternative if Lane Cove does not suit you is the Freshwater side, about 14 kilometres away across the Spit.
Your digestive system is of significant importance to your overall well-being. If it's not operating correctly, symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may occur. Natural solutions to enhance digestion and restore gut health are offered by Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
How Acupuncture Supports Digestion
Acupuncture stimulates digestive enzymes, reduces inflammation, and improves the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Targeting specific acupuncture points, it can:
✅ Regulate stomach acid production
✅ Reduce bloating and gas
✅ Improve bowel movements and relieve constipation
✅ Ease nausea and acid reflux
TCM and Gut Health
Traditional Chinese medicine views the digestive system as central to overall health. Imbalances in the digestive organs can lead to fatigue, skin issues, and even mental health problems. Along with Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes can support long-term gut health.
Chronic digestive issues can be improved by restoring balance and overall well-being with the help of Acupuncture, which is a natural and holistic approach.
