Acupuncture And Pain

Your Body is Genetically Designed to Keep You Pain-Free.

Your body is very capable of fixing itself. In your blood is a tiny army of natural pain killers (endorphins and enkephalins) which are as strong as any pharmaceutical pain killers, but with none of the side effects. These can stop pain dead in its tracks. Also, in your blood is the repair crew (white blood cells, macrophages, collagen, etc…) whose job it is to repair the problem.

If You Are in Pain, it Means That Mechanism Has Stopped Working Properly.

If your body is not getting rid of pain, it means that your central nervous system has stopped working properly for that part of your body.

How We Treat Pain

The Emperor’s Pain Elimination Acupuncture is a 2,500 year old treatment that turns your body’s natural healing mechanism on like a light switch. It incorporates gentle muscle and tendon manipulation and gentle acupuncture.

  • Pain relief is often instantaneous
  • There is no aggravation of symptoms (like there can be with other forms of treatment)
  • Your whole central nervous system is now working to fix the problem

Best of all, not only is there immediate pain relief, but we are retraining your body at the same time to keep itself pain-free.  Once the pain is gone your body keeps it gone.

This neurological (global) healing response is how The Emperor’s Pain Elimination Acupuncture is so different to all local treatments that treat (and often aggravate) the local area of pain.

For over 3,000 years, Acupuncture has treated pain and honed its skills in treating chronic pain.  Western medicine is now recognising how effective acupuncture is in treating pain, naturally without the need for drugs or surgery.

Acupuncture provides a unique treatment for pain that:

  • Requires no exercises on your part (all you have to do is lie there and relax.
  • Resets your body’s natural pain relief and repair mechanisms (so your body can better manage any pain going forward).
  • Often provides instant relief.
  • Is gentle, requiring no harsh movements
  • Makes you feel great!

Emperor’s Acupuncture is one of the busiest pain relief clinics in Melbourne’s northern suburbs whose practitioners have provided over 25,000 treatments to people in pain over the years.

Dr Sandra in Emperor's Acupuncture, she is very patient and willing to discuss your needs/issue. Will advise you what may be better for yourself. But not asking you to pay more for her treatment. I guess it is what you dont normally see these days any more..

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Sandra since 2020 and acupuncture with her has had so many amazing results for me over the years. Initially I was seeing her to manage my back pain after having tried several other treatments and the results with acupuncture were absolutely amazing. Pain I’d been feeling for years went away. Last year we discussed me wanting to get pregnant which was proving difficult with my PCOS that disrupted the regularity of my cycle and ovulation and we also discussed me wanting to lose weight as I was really unhappy with my weight. I decided I’d do the weight loss program and then once I was happy with my weight I’d start the fertility program. To my surprise just as I was coming to the end of weight loss program I fell pregnant and it turned out the weight loss helped to normalize my hormone levels which resulted in a more regular cycle and ovulation. I then went straight into acupuncture for my pregnancy and I truly believe this was instrumental in me achieving a natural birth with no complications, resulting in a beautiful baby boy. I highly recommend Sandra, she is an expert in Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, and medicinal herbs. I found her to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about fertility, weight loss and pain management. Her expertise and compassionate care made all the difference. Thank you, Sandra!

Sandra was wonderful in helping us to fall pregnant. We had two sessions and had success and then continued through our first semester to help avoid miscarriage and with morning sickness. She’s also helped a few of my family members as well :)

In my experience, the results of the treatments were amazing. I started off with the weight loss program with Dr Sandra and Dr Jesse and lost 10kg. After that, I went on the fertility program. Dr Sandra helped me prepare for pregnancy and throughout my 9 months of pregnancy, helped support my pregnancy and ease my pregnancy symptoms. Now I am back for the weight loss program to lose the weight gain from childbirth. They are my trusted Acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioners, to help me stay in good health.

Emperors acupuncture where do I start but AMAZING I started seeing Sandra for fertility treatment as nothing was working for us for nearly 12 months so wanted to try alternative medicine and we are PREGNANT!!! Due in September 2023 not only did this acupuncture treatment help us with fertility but made my energy levels better and my cycle improved better than it’s ever been! Cannot recommend Sandra enough she is so patient and kind and nothing is ever too much or a bother I’ve taken stacks of her cards and given them to all my friends and family!

I have found Dr. Sandra an excellent acupuncturist . I had a bad left foot, damaged for many years and i heard from a friend about her so decided to give the clinic a try. So I went in every week for 2 months and I found relief from my pain straight away on the first treatment! Now I can exercise and walk properly again and even wear high heels which I couldn’t do for years! So thank you Dr. Sandra. I cant recommended you enough to all my family and friends.
