What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
Traditional Chinese Medicine, otherwise known as TCM is an ancient system of medicine that originated in China over 5000 years ago. In short, in Western Medicine, the main focus is treating the disease, whereas in Eastern Medicine the focus is on your health holistically.
Fundamentally, TCM is about understanding and achieving ‘balance’ within the body. When our body is in a state of balance, we feel healthy and well. If you are unwell or injured you can consider your body is out of whack. The practice of TCM is to lead you towards a more balanced state for optimal health and well-being. For some people, this may mean decreasing inflammation and scar tissue to resolve pain and for others, it may be improving digestive function as a means to increase energy levels.
Benefits Of Traditional Chinese Medicine
At our clinic, we love Traditional Chinese Medicine because of the holistic approach it provides and the natural treatment solutions it offers for a variety of health concerns. Here, we also use more of a modern approach to TCM where we are proud to deliver high-quality treatment combining the best of both East and West ideologies and practices. In our opinion, there is a place for both schools of thought and from our experience they are more powerful together!
Treatments That Are Associated With TCM
As we mentioned, TCM offers natural solutions and relief to a wide array of illnesses and concerns. The treatments we use in our clinic are chosen as they produce evidence based results that are geared towards achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients.
The treatments we use at our clinic are:
• Acupuncture
• Electro-Acupuncture
• TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)

• Cupping Therapy
• Remedial Massage and other manual therapies
• Chinese Herbal Medicine
• Moxibustion

How Can We Get You The Best Results
Most often, patients seek treatment when there is a significant problem. Like with most things, it is always wise to attend to issues before they become bigger problems.
A benefit of seeing a practitioner is getting your health concern assessed and diagnosed. Our team views health as a state of balance as opposed to having a problem or not. This approach allows for both innovative treatment and prevention of health problems.
The process is simple, the first step is to come into our clinic for an Initial Appointment. This is where your practitioner will identify the area of concern and understand what symptoms you are experiencing. We will address these symptoms to help you get relief fast, as well as look at the causative factors to eliminate this from occurring again. Follow-up treatments will be used to accelerate your healing and work on maintenance treatment to help prevent relapse. Your practitioner will provide you with lifestyle advice and coping mechanisms to assist you on your health care journey.
How Can We Help?
We work with individuals who suffer from many different health concerns. Our unique and modern approach to health care means we can provide our patients with evidence driven effective treatments to produce the best possible results. If you would like to know more about how we can help you, please call our team on (02) 4709 6727.
We look forward to helping you with your health!
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!!
Staff are very professional and caring. Evolution Health care's services are of a high standard.
Boys are great love seeing them, so friendly and professional, always feel relaxed.
Kent is wonderful, very caring & very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Kent.
Amazing friendly beautiful people who are genuinely kind and non judgemental and the treatments have really helped with my ailments....highly recommended 🙂🥰
From the minute I walk into reception, the environment is so positive and welcoming. All of the staff are very happy and kind. My initial enquiry over the phone was very detailed and the response time so quick. Thank you to the entire team for making my visits such a positive experience on all levels.
Kent is a legend, I came in with acute shoulder and hand pain due to pinched nerve. Within 5th session I am feeling much better and back at work now..few more sessions to go.
Extremely happy with the service and results. Very experienced and understanding team.
Love this place- trying to induce labour naturally and have been here twice. I become super relaxed and my sleep improves. Looking forward to my next treatment or Bub
I couldn't ask for a better or more professional medical facility. The knowledge and expertise is right on and completely thorough in making sure the patient is informed and on the right path to a healthier life. I would recommend Evolution over and over again!
I honestly cannot recommend Dr Andrew enough! It’s a strange feeling to have had constant tension and pain that has become just a normal part of life, to being gone and having what is true normality back. Being 10 months postpartum from a c-section, my back has been under stress since being pregnant my almost 5kg boy - but I can finally hold and rock him without having the pains. I’m so thankful my husband referred me, we’ve been a much happier household - you don’t realise what living with aches is like until you don’t anymore! Ally
I've been receiving acupuncture treatment with Dr Andrew at Evolution Medical for a while to alleviate migraine pain, but most recently to assist with healing a lower back injury. The treatments have helped immensely, and the friendly and helpful staff always make it a positive experience. Highly recommended.
Amazing, personalised service to your needs, after a few sessions with Adam I am already feeling much better!
