Pain Is An Extremely Common Problem
One in 5 Australians aged 45 and over are living with persistent, ongoing pain. This pain is often disabling and stressful, leading to an inability to work and enjoy life to their potential.
All of us have experienced pain at some point in our lives, it’s a part of being human, living and learning. Only when the severity of pain becomes ongoing or unbearable, it becomes a real problem and we begin to focus more on it. Pain may range from initially distracting, to becoming ongoing and debilitating in nature. No one likes having pain and the impact can be devastating if not dealt with in an appropriate manner.
How People Respond To Pain Matters
When it comes to pain, people respond in various ways-some are highly sensitive to the minute details and others are oblivious or ‘push on’ until an event comes along that ‘breaks the camel’s back’. We see people present to our clinic with different behaviours:
The Proactive Approach
People who act quickly when injured or pain develops and reach out to healthcare professionals like us for assistance. This group consists of highly sensitive types and also past clients of ours-they have been down the path of pain before, know how bad it can get and are also keen to get back to their ideal lifestyle ASAP.
Proactively dealing with pain means:
- The problem is easier to diagnose and provides a more accurate prognosis for recovery
- Respond faster and more positively to treatment
- Require less treatment frequency and duration
- Are far less likely to develop chronic pain with associated healthcare complications
- Get back to their ideal lifestyle with a higher quality of life
The Wait And See Approach
These are the people who hope that the pain will get better on it’s own with a bit of rest, or are possibly relying on our good friend Dr Google to fix their issue. Sometimes these people have actually been taking action by seeking help from healthcare professionals but haven’t found the right fit for their situation yet and persist with this non-productive approach even when they aren’t seeing progress.
Unless both the symptoms and underlying factors are addressed appropriately, we know that time and time again, pain gets worse over time.
Slow actions takers typically:
- Present with multiple healthcare complaints which have developed in relation to each other, taking prescribed medication which means that it is more difficult to diagnose exactly what is causing symptoms and clearly advise prognosis
- Take longer to respond to treatment
- Need more treatment frequency and duration to get back on track
- Are much more likely to develop chronic pain and associated healthcare complications
- Reach out for help when they can’t handle the pain anymore-they are debilitated by pain which leads to an inability to work to potential, sleep soundly throughout the night, are constantly tired, emotionally stressed and anxious, typically develop headaches or digestive issues and feel like nothing is getting better.
- Responds better when they start to take action and engage in effective treatments that a healthcare professional can provide.
Both of these groups ultimately want to get back to their former lifestyle-whether it be enjoying working to their full potential, having the headspace to enjoy an active social life or relationship with their wife/husband/family or getting back to their sporting hobbies. Taking appropriate action is essential to resolve pain and get back on track.
Types Of Pain That We Treat
Through in-depth diagnosis of symptoms and underlying causative factors and utilising evidence based treatment methods, we regularly treat a wide range of painful conditions to help people get back on track with their ideal lifestyles.
Some of the types of pain that we treat are:
Impact: may have multiple causes ranging from mild to severe in nature and be debilitating, shooting and burning in nature. May also be associated with pins/needles and numbness or decreased strength in the affected area. If left untreated, may lead to nerve damage including long-term pain and also decrease in the ability to feel and move parts of the body.
Our Approach: identify the cause of nerve compression/damage that is causing nerve pain and address this with combinations of Acupuncture/Electrical Stimulation to relieve pain fast, stimulate the healing process and give appropriate lifestyle advice to ensure that nerve pain doesn’t relapse.
Impact: nagging, aching and throbbing pain that often causes both an inability to open the mouth fully to eat or talk and associated with tension headaches and stress/anxiety. If left untreated, can lead to ongoing debilitation and impact on overall health.
Our Approach: identity whether the pain is due to trauma or internal nervous tension, treat the face/jaw to reduce inflammation and pain with combinations of Acupuncture/manual release techniques. Finally address underlying factors with lifestyle changes or Herbal Medicines to ensure that the pain doesn’t return.
Impact: repetitive and debilitating due to the intensity of pain and associated nausea, light/sound sensitivity, visual disturbance, insomnia and fatigue. If left untreated it will persist and often leads to more frequent and severe migraines.
Our Approach: identify the causative factor(s) and apply treatment of Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, Deep Tissue Muscle Release Therapy and Herbal Medicine to reduce both the severity and frequency of headache/migraine. In combination with these therapies, lifestyle advice is provided to prevent the relapse of this condition.
Impact: aching, constant pain that typically affects the ability to use the entire arm which has a significant impact on quality of life. If left untreated, it may lead to inflammation of neighbouring tissues and further health issues.
Our Approach: identify the causative factor(s) and apply treatment of Acupuncture, Electrical Stimulation, Cupping Therapy and Deep Tissue Muscle Release Therapy to reduce the severity of shoulder pain and improve range of movement. Once pain is stabilised, specific exercises and lifestyle advice are prescribed to prevent relapse of the condition.
Impact: pain can range from a muscle aching to a shooting, burning or stabbing sensation. In addition, the pain may radiate down the leg or worsen with bending, twisting, lifting, standing or walking. If left untreated may lead to decreased physical capacity, weight gain and further health complaints.
Our Approach: identify the causative factor(s) and apply treatment of Acupuncture, Electrical Stimulation, Cupping Therapy and Deep Tissue Muscle Release Therapy to reduce the severity of back pain and improve physical capacity. Once pain is stabilised, specific exercises and lifestyle advice are prescribed to prevent relapse of the condition.
Impact: due to spinal nerve compression is typically one-sided, involves inflammation, shooting, electric-like pain and often pins and needles and numbness in the affected leg. If left untreated may lead to nerve damage including chronic pain, numbness and decreased physical strength in the affected leg.
Our Approach: identify where the nerve is compressed and apply treatment of Acupuncture, Electrical Stimulation, Cupping Therapy and Deep Tissue Muscle Release Therapy to reduce the compression of the sciatic nerve and return normal nerve function to resolve sciatica symptoms. Once sciatica is stabilised, specific exercises and lifestyle advice are prescribed to prevent relapse of the condition.
Impact: pain may be shooting, aching or burning in nature and affect the inside/outside regions of the hip joint. Due to the location may lead to difficulty getting comfortable sleeping and also decrease physical capacity to sit or stand and walk. If left untreated may lead to altered gait and further back/leg issues.
Our Approach: identify the nature of hip pain and apply treatment of Acupuncture, Electrical Stimulation, Cupping Therapy and Deep Tissue Muscle Release Therapy to reduce inflammation and hip pain to restore physical capacity. Once hip pain is stabilised, specific exercises and lifestyle advice are prescribed to prevent relapse of the condition.
Impact: often involves decreased range of motion, leads to tension headache and an inability to focus on tasks. If left untreated may lead to osteoarthritis, chronic pain and even nerve pain in the arm.
Our Approach: address neck pain with combinations of Acupuncture and deep tissue muscle release techniques to provide fast relief and then address the underlying factors such as posture with lifestyle and exercise advice to ensure that neck pain is dealt with both promptly and in a manner to ensure that it doesn’t come back.
Impact: incredibly common and can range from monthly to constant cramping, aching pain that can be severe and debilitating in nature. Commonly associated with emotional distress, acne, abdominal bloating, breast tenderness, back pain and even medical conditions which may cause infertility.
Our Approach: identify the causative factor(s) of menstrual pain and apply treatment of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to reduce both the severity and frequency of menstrual pain. In combination with these therapies, lifestyle advice is provided to prevent the relapse of this condition and improve overall quality of life.
Impact: when significant, may be extremely debilitating due to an inability to weight-bear and may be sharp, dull, numbing, tingling, burning, radiating, or aching in nature. If left untreated may lead to poor posture, gait and aggravation of other health issues..
Our Approach: address neck pain with combinations of acupuncture and deep tissue muscle release techniques to provide fast relief and then address the underlying factors such as ankle/foot posture with lifestyle and exercise advice to ensure that pain is dealt with both promptly and in a manner to ensure that it doesn’t come back.
Impact: chronic, continuous burning or throbbing pain, usually in the arm, leg, hand or foot that is typically more severe than what would be expected from the injury that caused it. Often associated with hypersensitivity to touch and cold, changes in skin colour, temperature, joint stiffness, muscular weakness and spasms leading to a decreased physical capacity. If left untreated, complex regional pain syndrome is a significant debilitating health condition leading to permanent nerve damage.
Our Approach: address chronic regional pain syndrome with combinations of Acupuncture, electro-Acupuncture and deep tissue muscle release techniques to provide relief and then address the underlying factors such as overall health and nervous system damage with lifestyle and exercise advice to achieve maximum ongoing pain relief.
Impact: causes pain all over the body, sleep problems, fatigue, hypersensitivity to pain and often emotional distress. Frequently associated with migraine, anxiety/depression, jaw pain, irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Our Approach: address fibromyalgia with combinations of Acupuncture, electro-Acupuncture and deep tissue muscle release techniques to provide relief and then address the underlying factors such as overall health and stress syndrome with lifestyle and exercise advice to achieve maximum ongoing pain relief.
Impact: can have a profound impact on a person’s quality of life and wellbeing due to acute and chronic pain, decreased physical capacity and associated mental health issues associated with management of the condition. If left untreated, will likely continue and get worse over time leading to increased pain and further reduced physical capacity.
Our Approach: reduce the severity of arthritis pain by reducing inflammation and swelling in the affected joints with combinations of Acupuncture and electro-Acupuncture to provide fast relief and then address the underlying factors such as joint instability with lifestyle and exercise advice to ensure that pain is dealt with both promptly and in a manner to ensure that it doesn’t relapse and further deteriorate over time.
Impact: recurrent, chronic burning pain in the centre of the chest that may be worse at night when trying to sleep leading to insomnia and cause difficulty swallowing, a sensation of a lump in the throat and is also associated with chronic laryngitis, asthma and sinus congestion. If left untreated, it may lead to more significant and permanent gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, gastro-oesophageal ulcers, bleeding and gastro-oesophageal cancer.
Our Approach: identify the causative factor(s) of reflux and apply treatment of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to reduce both the severity and frequency of reflux pain. In combination with these therapies, lifestyle advice is provided to prevent the relapse of this condition and improve overall quality of life.
Impact: A chronic condition causing cramping abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea or constipation, or both which may be after every meal or otherwise aggravated by emotional stressors and lifestyle. If left untreated, it isn’t associated with serious medical complications but significantly impacts quality of life in the form of emotional stressors, decreased physical capacity and social life implications.
Our Approach: Identify the causative factor(s) of irritable bowel syndrome and apply treatment of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to decrease underlying stress syndrome, improve gastro-intestinal system health and reduce both the severity and frequency of irritable bowel syndrome pain. In combination with these therapies, lifestyle advice is provided to prevent the relapse of this condition and improve overall quality of life.
Impact: Persistent debilitating pain that lasts for more than 3 months after surgery. Differs in location compared to pain prior to surgery and pain is typically stabbing, shooting and electric-like in nature. If not effectively dealt with, may lead to significantly decreased quality of life, decreased physical capacity and cognitive function and opioid overuse/addiction due to the debilitating pain.
Our Approach: Apply treatment of Acupuncture and electro-Acupuncture therapy to reduce the severity of post-surgical pain and improve physical and mental capacity. Once pain is stabilised, specific exercises and lifestyle advice are prescribed to prevent relapse of the condition.
Impact: Pain starts off intermittent and mild and develops gradually with repetitive movements until it becomes unbearable and constant pain which may be aching, stabbing and excruciating in nature. If left untreated, the condition only gets worse and may lead to other health complaints.
Our Approach: Address repetitive strain injury pain with combinations of Acupuncture and deep tissue muscle release techniques to provide fast relief and then address the underlying factors with lifestyle and exercise advice to ensure that pain is dealt with both promptly and in a manner to ensure that it doesn’t relapse.
The Nature Of Pain
Pain can range in nature from what we call acute pain which can indicate that you have been recently injured to chronic pain which is ongoing.
Acute Pain
Acute pain starts suddenly and when the injury heals, the pain stops. Pain from an acute injury is due to an increase in pressure from inflammation at the site of the injury which activates pain receptors responsible for the transmission of pain signals to the brain. This inflammation in local tissues leads to swelling that is seen as part of the body’s healing response.
Examples of acute pain are:
- Muscle strains
- Stiff neck from sleeping awkwardly
- Sprained ankle/wrist
- Bursitis
- Back pain
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain continues until after the injury has healed, lasting for weeks, months and even years. In this instance, the pain receptors which were activated by inflammation and raised local pressure from swelling during the acute injury continue to transmit signals to the brain that there is an injury.
Although not completely understood, It is thought that chronic pain is due to nerves that have become damaged and also a failure in the way that the brain ‘maps’ sensory information.
Chronic Pain and Quality Of Life
Chronic pain is inherently debilitating and over time leads to many other health complaints.
For instance, 2/3 of people with chronic pain report problems sleeping. The lack of sleep leads to a heightening of anxiety and a reduction in pain thresholds. This reduction in pain threshold results in the chronic pain being felt in a more severe manner than initially leading to even worse sleep quality and the situation develops into a frustrating, self-defeating cycle of pain and insomnia.
According to this systematic review, unrelieved, chronic pain causes significant stress on the body to the point that it can lead to:
- Anxiety/Depression
- Sleep Disorders
- Weight Gain
- Decreased capacity to exercise and self-manage pain
- An increased likelihood to smoke and drink alcohol
- Increased likelihood to suffer from heart and respiratory disease
- More types of chronic pain
Chronic pain is a financial burden to sufferers through their decreased ability to function for work and to receive medical treatment and an extreme emotional cost to the sufferer and their friends and family.
Examples of chronic pain include:
- Migraines which is the 3rd most common disease in the world
- Fibromyalgia with muscle pain
- Neuropathic Pain
- Post-surgical Pain
- Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome
Medications vs Natural Solutions For Pain Relief
Medications
Medications are often prescribed to assist with pain as a first-line treatment option, as they are convenient and fast to have an effect. Typically issues develop due to the short-lived effects of pain relief medication if they are effective and the side effects related to them. There are 2 classes of medications commonly prescribed for pain relief-Opioids and NSAIDs(Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatories).
Opioids
Despite this ease of use, only 23% of patients with chronic pain find pain-killer drugs, ‘Opiates’(Morphine, Endone, Tramadol etc) effective at reducing pain.
In a recent review, it was established that opioid medications at recommended doses were not effective for low back pain and with prolonged prescription of opioids, chronic back pain sufferers actually experience more back pain than if they hadn’t been taking opioid medication.
What’s worse, opioid medications are highly addictive leading to opiate abuse and depression which have become a common part of the pain equation and contributing to the epidemic of opioid addiction and deaths due to overdose which is significantly higher than that of heroin!
NSAIDs
NSAIDs are the most commonly used medications in the world and commonly prescribed as a first-line treatment for pain. NSAIDs are mostly used for the treatment of patients suffering from pain and inflammatory conditions such as chronic pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, postoperative surgical conditions, menstrual cramps and even used extensively as general pain relieving and reducing fever.
NSAIDs include commonly known medications such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, voltaren and Mobic.
In spite of this vast beneficial effect on pain and reducing fever, NSAIDs are well known for multiple severe side effects including:
- Causing gastrointestinal harm such as indigestion and stomach ulcers
- Cardiovascular disease and increased risk of acute heart attack even in healthy people
- Kidney damage causing sudden kidney failure and even progressive kidney damage
- Impairment of liver function due to toxicity
It’s for these reasons, that our clinic is passionate about providing natural solutions for pain relief.
Natural Solutions For Pain Relief
Natural therapies are highly attractive for the simple reason that they present very few adverse effects. In fact, research shows that some natural therapies are more effective than medications when it comes to reducing pain both in the short term and long-term.
Some of the ways we address pain relief in our clinic are through the following treatment therapies.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy can be used to relieve stress and anxiety, help with pain, relax the muscles and assist with the healing of injuries.
It has been shown that massage therapy reduces cortisol levels (a stress inducing hormone), while increasing other hormones that have a positive effect on pain relief and wellbeing such as endorphins, dopamine and serotonin.
Cupping Therapy
Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and causes tiny blood vessels (capillaries) under the skin to dilate to improve circulation to the treated area. This has an effect to reduce muscular tension and swelling and inflammation locally by improving blood circulation. Your body treats the cupping area like an injury; It sends more blood cells to the area to stimulate the natural healing process which has an effect to reduce pain.
Although research is in it’s early stages for cupping therapy, so far it has been shown that cupping therapy is effective in treating chronic back pain and neck pain.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is well known for its effectiveness in the treatment of pain. Acupuncture has become popular around the world for its unique role in reducing the suffering in patients experiencing pain. There is now lots of thorough evidence supporting Acupuncture’s role in the treatment of specific painful conditions. For instance, in a recent systematic review involving 1077 participants with pain ranging from neck and back pain to carpal tunnel syndrome, to painful periods, it was found that Acupuncture was more effective in relieving pain than placebo or painkiller injections.
- Acupuncture stimulates sensory nerves where the needle is inserted that transmits a signal through to the spinal cord and results in deactivation of the pain centres in the brain.
- Acupuncture activates a number of the body’s own opioids (Endorphins and Enkephalins) and enhances the brain’s sensitivity to opioids in order to have an effect to reduce pain, modulate pain perception, regulate appetite and emotions
- Acupuncture also stimulates release and regulation of other biochemicals, including ATP, GABA and substance P in order to reduce pain and facilitate the healing process.

Dr Andrew has been amazing in treating me. I had some issues conceiving and it was great experience to get treated at Evolution Medical Care. Followed by a detailed consultation, I started my sessions. I definitely experienced a calm and relaxed feeling in my overall body. One year later and I am writing this post with my baby in my lap 🙂
Evolution have been an amazing discovery and have truly changed my wellbeing and quality of life in only a small space of time. Dr Kent is patient, understanding and knowledgeable and the clinic is welcoming, calm and a safe space for those needing help or understanding of their conditions. I have already reccomended them to friends and family!
Donna is fantastic! She has taken the time to listen and understand what I am hoping to achieve and I have a clear understanding what our plan is. All the staff are friendly and accomodating plus everything is always clean and tidy, highly recommend!
I have been coming here for years because their service is fantastic. Im in my early 50’s and have a very physical job and each time im feeling sore i always feel so much better after a session.
Incredible, the staff are amazing. Very accomodating, empathic and knowledgeable.
I would recommend anyone to go to this centre for their medical conditions both physical and mental. Not only are the practioners and staff absolutely lovely, the treatment and care provided is beyond what I have received elsewhere. Not only have I observed improvement in my physical conditions but also mental health.
Works great! Deffiently worth trying out! Always relaxes you and helps with pains, I highly recommend this place!
Andrew and his team are so lovely and ALWAYS so welcoming. Andrew has proven time and time again of how intelligent he is when it comes to the body and finding all the places you didn’t even know existed that were worn out, over worked and tired. Thanks Andrew for always being so calm and kind while providing the best service to your clients.
I have taken 4 to 5 Accupuncture sessions so far with Dr, Andrews and the results have been execellent. If you are looking for someone who hears you patiently, deep dive into the root cause, and charts out right remediation, then this is the centre to go for!
Injured both rotator cuffs. Been getting acupuncture here for 2 months has been a massive help in the recovery process.
Evolution Medical Care is second to none. As soon as I walk in the door I feel an inner peace. You are then met by the loveliest reception ladies. It's so nice to find people who know the art of customer service. The girls/ladies are always happy and smiling a true reflection of being happy at their workplace. I have chronic bursitis which impacts my range on movement, after my visit with Andrew my pain is always reduced or disappears and I can move my arm again. The team at Evolution Medical Care are very knowledgeable and professional. Congratulations to the team you have found not only a client but a fan!!!!!
highly recommend this business, I have been a loyal customer for many many years All the staff are great people who really look after you.
I will start this review by saying I judge my healthcare practitioners HARSH. I have been stung many times by gaslighting, ignorance, and sometimes plain creepiness, so I am super picky about the medical providers I use and very honest. I have a pretty complicated case with my back trauma, auto-immune diseases, and genetic disposition. Adding pregnancy to the mix means I am in desperate need of relief with my chronic pain and not many avenues I can take. I have been to Dr Andrew's team twice now, and have adored my experiences there. My first appointment was for acupuncture and cupping with Dr Adam, and my second was a remedial massage and acupuncture with Dr Andrew. Both visits were respectful, calming, and went at a great pace. Andrew's massage appointment had me walking out of the centre with a completely different gait. The environment of the practice is also very peaceful and modern. I met Dr David too as he was playing receptionist for my first appointment and he was lovely. My next appointment will be with Dr Kent and I have no doubt it will also be a great experience. Worth every penny, and they deserve their great reputation with their Google reviews! Looking forward to seeing some results now as I do more acupuncture sessions.
I started my treatment 3 months ago for my Meniscal tear and Arthritis in both knees.. I have been in state where I am managing my life without any pain medications. Deng is really good therapist... Alternative therapy works...
The team at Evolution Medical Care are absolutely amazing. From the moment you enter the building they are welcoming. I am currently going through IVF and I was pleasantly surprised at how knowledgeable they are and they have helped me through every step. I know I am in good hands. Highly recommend!
Staff are all really lovely and welcoming. The treatment has been so beneficial, highly recommend!! ₊˚⊹♡
Let me start by firstly saying, “Thank you” to Dr. David VO for his service. I came in with severe back ache. I did unaided squats at the gym and caused a back injury. I got severe inflammation of back muscles and other disc related pain. I could not even sleep in peace. I work in film industry for a living and could not continue work. Holding an 8kilo camera was impossible due to pain. I was looking for help to fix my pain and strengthen my back. After meeting Dr. David VO, I was convinced that my back needed acupuncture and some simple everyday exercises which will strengthen it and also stop further re occurrences. I stuck to the routine of getting acupuncture twice a week and simple morning exercises that were prescribed by the professional. In two weeks I saw amazing results. In four weeks, I was filming without pain and in eight weeks, I am back in the gym. Once again, thank you for your accurate prognosis, treatment and exercise advice.
Was sceptical the acupuncture would be of much help at first but it has helped tremendously! The doctor (Andrew) who looks after me and the ladies at reception are so friendly and pleasant, they make the experience most rewarding and worthwhile. I can recommend this practice to anyone interested in excellent care.
The staff are lovely and make you feel right at home. The premises are clean and inviting with relaxing music playing. I have used both acupuncture and cupping and found the benefits of both.
Absolute professionalism. And a team who actually cares about you and your results.
Great service and good people. Always friendly and on point for the treatment required.
I'd thoroughly recommend it. I'm scared of needles but honestly, the acupuncture is fine. In fact, it's actually a very relaxing experience and I've had beneficial results. It's treated the severe tension in my back and hips which I've had for a long time. I've never tried acupuncture before and thought I'd give it a go. So glad I did. Thank you!
I chose Evolution Medical to help me with inflammation as I have an autoimmune issue & im happy my acupuncture treatment is working. Everyone is very nice professional & not judgey they make you feel comfortable.
After having lower back pain for 3 months with nothing seeming to work, i called and made an appointment. After the first appointment i started to feel alot better and after 3-4 sessions i was completely pain free again. Donna and the team are very welcoming and experienced when it comes to treatment. Highly recommend going here you wont be disappointed.
Truly enjoy my 5 star experience at Evolution Medical Care. From the lovely ladies at reception ready to assist and answer all my questions, to the team of Dr Andrew and Dr Adam's acupuncture treatment. For the first time in a number of years, my concerns re: my back injury and joint pain has been alleviated by expert treatment plan and care when administered. Andrew is knowledgeable and the care he takes to listen and treat accordingly is truly a gift. I am operating mostly pain free since joining and it's the highlight of my week! Thank you team, I appreciate y'all
Andrew and team are brilliant. Came in with a few concerns and treatment has helped massively. Highly recommend.
Only had a few sessions for a long time back complaint and the results so far are promising.
They are the best, amazing, wonderful. I feel better every time after the session. I am so impressed how they are super nice and caring . They listen and try their best to help. ❤️❤️❤️. Highly recommend 💪🏻👍
I have been having acupuncture treatments for a few weeks now and have been loving how it makes my body feel. Andrew is very knowledgeable about any concerns I may have. Today I started the treatment with a headache and left with no headache it was honestly the best treatment.
After experiencing back pain for some month I have found acupuncture has relieved my symptoms greatly. High recommend Dr Andrew.
I strongly recommend the team at Evolution Medical Care. I have had surgery on my neck and after surgery I really wasn’t progressing through recovery, that was until I Met Andrew and the team. I can honestly say my pain my mobility has extremely approved. Not only that my well being and over all health. If your looking for regular treatment or may just need some help to get moving again look no further then Evolution Medical Care. I only wish I found these guys earlier.
Donna is very good. She is great to talk to and is helping me with my health. Luke
This is the first time I have tried Evolution Medical Care and have been really impressed with the individualized treatment and care of the team. Kent has been really attentive and thorough with the information and explanations he's shared and it's great to be seeing progress with the treatments and have a clear direction. Would definitely recommend.
When I came in I could hardly walk from pain through my legs and feet. I was diagnosed and had treatment for 6 weeks and now completely pain free again!!
Amazing experience! Acupuncture by Andrew and Donna is always so relaxing and peaceful! Huge results have been seen already 🙂
I was recommended Evolution Medical Care by a friend after searching for someone who understood acupuncture as a part of holistic treatment. I can honestly say that the professionalism and care shown the minute you walk through the door is beyond my expectation. I've only just started my journey to healing but so far I'm definitely seeing positive signs that its working.
Extremely relaxing atmosphere with very friendly staff. Treatments have proven to be highly beneficial.
I come here for treatment of bilateral hip bursitis and lower back pain . The whole team here is fantastic . I see Dr David for cupping and acupuncture. He is absolutely fantastic . He listens and uses evidence based practise to kick start you on your recovery journey . I am improving slowly but so grateful to this fantastic team . Do yourself a favour and visit . You wont be disappointed.
Dr Andrew and his team are amazing… I had an issue at my last visit and he rectified the problem by the time my next appointment came around.. Very warm and caring and I felt so much better leaving there today ..Highly recommend!!
