25.01.2022 Acupuncture: Whats the evidence?? Using a review method known as a Network Meta-analysis, it is possible to evaluate various treatments for the same condition in a head to head analysis. Below are a few examples of how acupuncture compares to other treatments. OSTEOARTHRITIS... A 2013 network meta-analysis comparing physical treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee found that, when looking at high quality studies, acupuncture had the largest effect compared to usual care out of the conditions evaluated, out-performing exercise, sham acupuncture, and weight-loss. SHOULDER PAIN A 2015 network meta-analysis comparing treatments in addition to exercise for shoulder impingement syndrome found that acupuncture was the most effective adjunctive treatment out of 17 interventions, outperforming all other adjuncts such as steroid injection, NSAIDs, and ultrasound therapy. SCIATICA A 2016 comparison of 20 treatments for sciatica ranked acupuncture as 2nd most effective after the use of biological agents, outperforming manipulation, epidurals, disc surgery, opioids, exercise, and an invasive procedure called radiofrequency denervation, which came in last. CONSTIPATION In 2018, a network-meta-analysis found that acupuncture was more effective than drugs for treating chronic constipation and with the fewest side-effects.

25.01.2022 "The practitioner observes a patients breath, posture, and how they interact with their environment in order to come up with a plan for helping the body run more efficiently."

24.01.2022 Were so pleased to have been picked as one of Brisbanes Top 3 Acupuncture Clinics once again!

24.01.2022 We are totally in love with our new entry way mural! Thanks to Bec and Kim for their amazing design and beautiful painting.

24.01.2022 ? ' - /- Allergic reactions to the mRNA vaccines... are rare - very rare, in fact. A person is MUCH more likely to die from COVID-19 or be a long-hauler than have an adverse reaction to the vaccines. The reactions are reported in individual cases in news media outlets as stories though - so, it can probably seem like they are more common than they are and make some people nervous about getting a vaccine. Remember too that there is NO way the vaccines can give you COVID-19. These reactions are your body's way of building protection against it. Let me help: PICTURE 1 - A study in JAMA (top-tier, peer-reviewed medical journal) looked at people who received their mRNA vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) in December - this included 1.9 million people. They then looked at the VAERS reporting system to evaluate the occurrence of allergic reactions among these people. (We will talk about the VAERS in more detail below). What did they find? Of the 1.9 million, 21 had severe allergic reactions; That equates to 11 cases per million doses. Of the 21 severe allergic reactions: -17 had a previous allergic reaction history -17 were treated in the ED and discharged home -ALL 21 had allergic reactions within 3 hours after the vaccine (most were within the first 30 minutes). -All were discharged home; no deaths . PICTURE 2 Let's compare the allergic reactions to other common vaccines. Remember that we are comparing the mRNA vaccine (which has no dairy, eggs, nuts). Let's compare per 1,000,000 doses (that's the rate of daily vaccines happening now for COVID-19). Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccine - 11 cases (0.0011%) Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine - 2.5 cases (0.000025%) Flu (influenza) vaccine - 1-2 cases (0.00001%) DTaP - 1 case (0.0001%) MMR - 53 cases (0.0053%) Bee stings - 4000 (0.4%) . PICTURE 3 - Now, let's compare COVID-19 deaths Case fatality rate - ~18,000 per 1 million (1.8%) -The case fatality rate varies across age groups and increases with age. This brings me to Picture 4 - it's not just about dying from COVID-19 . PICTURE 4 - Let's compare COVID-19 long haulers 350,000 per 1 million had long-haul symptoms 14-21 days after testing (35%) 200,000 per 1 million healthy young adults 18-34 were considered long-haulers (20%) Of the long-haulers, the median age was 44 and most were women. Yuk. -For more on long COVID-19, go here: https://tinyurl.com/y2nomqkj . TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Allergic reactions are very rare with the vaccines - magnitudes smaller than the risk of getting COVID-19, dying from COVID-19, or having long-hauler COVID-19 which can last for months and be pretty debilitating (and can affect every organ in the body, including the brain and heart). I hope this helps put you at ease about the safety of the vaccines. The rare allergic reactions we are seeing as vaccines continue to roll-out are what was seen in the vaccine trials (in other words, they are expected). ***I want to make a quick note about the VAERS reporting system. This is a system that has been around for a long time to report ANY symptoms after ANY vaccine. Individuals, individual's families, and clinicians can report to the system in a passive manner (meaning anyone can report anything that looks suspicious). If severe adverse reactions or deaths are self-reported in VAERS, the CDC investigates. Remember the CDC members have families too which will receive vaccines and they want them to be safe. So, the VAERS is meant to be a safe-guard for all of us. The big thing to keep in mind is that the reporting is self-reported which may or may not be related to the vaccines. Remember our discussions on causation versus correlation? That cannot be determined through VAERS, which is why the CDC investigates the reports. So, when you hear reports about deaths in VAERS after the vaccines (I see those memes/headlines too), that does not necessarily mean those deaths are CAUSED by the vaccines. There's so much circulating about this issue in the US and Norway and I will write a post specifically this week related to the VAERS. But for now, just know that correlation does not equal causation and the VAERS is a passive, self-reporting safeguard system. ***Post for non-FB people: https://tinyurl.com/y2bk2r8u -FNE SOURCES: ***Go here to see my full Vaccine Series if you have other questions about fertility, mRNA technology, myths related to the vaccines, etc: https://www.facebook.com/friendlyneighborepidemiologist/posts/157871299168861 Picture 1: Allergic reactions to mRNA vaccine data https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2775646 Picture 2: Case fatality rates https://ourworldindata.org//deaths-covid-19-vs-case-fatali Picture 3: Allergic reactions to common vaccines https://www.aafp.org/afp/2017/0615/p786.html Picture 4: Long COVID https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6930e1.htm

21.01.2022 Good news for New Farm Acupuncture and our patients today!!! The council have put in place a 2hr parking limit, 7am-6pm, in Terrace St. Getting a park close by should be much easier now!

21.01.2022 To all our valued clients, We hope you are staying well and managing these tumultuous times smoothly. Dan and I are very sorry to inform you that we have decided to stop taking clients for the moment and are rescheduling all bookings for the next four weeks. New Farm Acupuncture will be closed for four weeks starting Monday 23 March 2020 through to 20 April 2020. Depending on the progression of COVID19 (or preferably the amelioration of the virus) we will reassess and be in t...ouch with you if we need to extend this temporary closure. Please rest assured this is not a decision we have taken lightly. We would love to be there for each of you, to assist in your health goals and to help alleviate your stresses, especially in these circumstances. Unfortunately, based on the continued spread throughout our community and the statistical spread of the virus in Asia and Europe, we think it wisest to take the step to close now rather than later. We have a duty of care to our immunocompromised clients and though we have incorporated the highest infection control guidelines possible, we think it safest to shut our doors now. Please know that your health is the utmost priority in our decision making and we are here to answer your calls if there is anything we can help you with. Please feel free to reach out and have a chat. We will be continuing to provide anti-viral supplements for you and your families as well as our usual herbs and vitamins via Australia post. These will be packed following infection control handling guidelines. Let us know if we can help you with these. Warm Regards, Susan Novikov and Daniel Hall

20.01.2022 Everybody's doing it! #acupunctureworks

19.01.2022 The Rock gets it

18.01.2022 Acupuncture in the media "Scott Turpin is a classic Colorado mountain athlete. In his twenties, he worked as an EMT and was certified in wilderness emergency me...dicine to fund his climbing, skiing, mountaineering, and highlining pursuits. When a major climbing fall sidelined him at 30 years old, Turpins future looked injury-riddled and limited, and Western medicine provided no relief. Although he had tried acupuncture in the past, Turpin was unimpressed with it, calling it kind of cursory and nice but not useful. But a few visits with a new practitionerwho later became his teacherradically changed his mind. Find a Good Practitioner Like traditional doctors and physical therapists, traditional Chinese medicine doctors can vary significantly in quality and approach. Turpins advice? Make sure you choose someone who received a formal education, has been properly licensed, and takes a holistic approach to treatment. A doctor who regularly administers a variety of therapies will be able to bring a whole-body approach to treatmentwhich is what traditional Chinese medicine is all about." Dont risk an unregistered, untrained Practitioner. Australia has strict practitioner registration guidelines for a reason! For your nearest AACMA Chinese Medicine Practitioner, call our National Practitioner Referral Service on 1300 725 334 or visit our website www.acupuncture.org.au for qualified practitioners around Australia. Ensure your practitioner (if in Australia) is qualified with a CMBA number, which means they are trained adequately, have a minimum of 1000 clinical hours of acupuncture or more as part of their health science degree & are accurate in their treatment. AACMA members must have a CMBA number to be registered. #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #aacma #seekaprofessional

18.01.2022 We've been following the emerging evidence and advice on the issue of mask wearing for a while now. It seems even a cloth mask can reduce viral load by a factor of three to four. This may reduce your chance of acquiring COVID-19 somewhat, but more importantly, may reduce the severity of a potential infection. NB: Social distancing is still your best defence! Don't fall into the trap of only relying on a mask alone to protect you.... You will need to wash a cloth mask after every outing in warm soapy water. An unwashed mask is a potential source of infection as it may carry contaminants from previous outings. The material, and how fine it's weave is, is an important factor in how effective a mask is. https://www.facebook.com/288136948685547/posts/658520761647162/?sfnsn=mo&d=n&vh=e

15.01.2022 If you've never tried acupuncture before, you might wonder "does acupuncture hurt?" Acupuncture needles are very fine and generally, you can barely feel them. Once they're in place, you will usually feel very relaxed and comfortable. Some people even fall asleep! Nothing to be scared about - we'll work with you to make sure you not only get better, but you enjoy your treatment!
