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.
In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety are everyday occurrences that have an effect on both mental and physical health. The immune system may suffer from adverse effects, such as headaches, fatigue, digestive issues, and lowered immunity, if chronic stress is not managed correctly. Acupuncture provides a natural way to calm the mind, relax the body, and restore balance.
How Acupuncture Relieves Stress
Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, shifting the body from "fight-or-flight" mode (sympathetic nervous system) to "rest-and-digest" mode (parasympathetic nervous system). This has a calming effect, reducing the production of cortisol—the stress hormone—while increasing the serotonin and dopamine release, promoting happiness and relaxation.
Acupuncture for Anxiety
Anxiety often manifests as racing thoughts, tightness in the chest, and trouble sleeping. Acupuncture helps by:
✅ Slowing down an overactive mind
✅ Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
✅ Improving sleep quality
✅ Enhancing emotional resilience
Many people feel an immediate sense of calm after Acupuncture. At the same time, treatment options that last for a more extended period can help break the cycle of chronic stress and anxiety.
Suppose stress and anxiety are affecting your daily life. In that case, Acupuncture offers a gentle, effective way to regain a sense of peace and emotional balance.
