Acupuncture, Massage & Chinese Medicine
4/64 Dixon St, Wellington City
www.taoclinic.co.nz

We offer professional health care tailored to the individual utilising Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), through Acupuncture, Tui Na, Cupping, Gua Sha, facial, deep tissue, therapeutic and relaxation massage.  Our acupuncturists are NZ Registered and ACC Treatment Providers holding minimum 4 year Bachelor of Health Science, covering aspects of both Western and Eastern Medicine.

We consider a holistic approach and we believe in treating the whole being.  In fact, every person is different, and should therefore be treated accordingly.  We also believe that body, mind and spirit are intricately linked to each other.  If your body aches, your mind will be affected, and vice versa. 

Our aim is to treat with compassion, and to take into account all aspects of an individual's condition.  In this manner we incorporate modern therapeutic techniques with traditional theories and practice, to deliver a true systematic health care system.

Acupuncture:  
Acupuncture improves the bodys functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites, commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints.  The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin.  Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects.  Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.

There is a strong research and evidence base for acupuncture's effectiveness at treating a number of conditions.  Visit our website for a more comprehensive list but examples include acute and chronic pain, immune support, hypertension, depression, fertility support, menopausal hot flushes, dysmennorhoea (menstrual pain), allergic rhinitis, induction of labour and other pregnancy related conditions (eg. turning breech babies and morning sickness).

Some specialty areas the clinic covers include:

Acupuncture for chronic pain (eg. migraines, back pain and arthritis), or acute pain and injury, including subsidized ACC Acupuncture with a valid ACC45 number.  Acupuncture is very effective at treating acute injuries.  In general, the sooner the injury is treated, the better the result. Studies show that acupuncture is effective in reducing inflammation and swelling so early treatment of an injury may considerably lessen the time needed for recovery.  Acupuncture has been shown to be useful in treating chronic pain.

Acupuncture for Mental Health concerns such as depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder and addiction.

Pregnancy Acupuncture: Treatments have been used for pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain, morning sickness, fatigue, headaches, hypertension, itching, miscarriage or threatened miscarriage, constipation and hemorrhoids, varicose veins, vulval varicosites, edema, depression, turning breech or posterior babies, pre-birth preparation, preparation for a medical induction and more.  There is a point that works to stop uterine contractions and another that is used for induction to start contractions.

Acupuncture for postpartum care may also  be helpful for insufficient or excessive lactation, mastitis, postnatal depression, fatigue and more.

Acupuncture for Women's Health: Including menopausal hot flushes, night sweats, menstrual disorders, hormonal imbalances, fertility support (also for men) and more.

Acupuncture for general well-being: Examples include digestive disorders and supporting healthy digestion, boosting the immune system, treating conditions like allergic rhinitis, fatigue or hypertension.

Massage: The clinic offers many styles deep tissue, relaxation and Traditional Chinese Massage (Tuina), acupressure and paediatric massage.

Dr Chris Holdaway is an experienced vascular surgeon in the Waikato region and is currently the Head of Surgery at Waikato Hospital.

Vascular Surgery is the medical discipline that specializes in the diagnosis, investigation and medical/surgical treatment of diseases of the arteries, veins (varicose veins & ulcers) and lymphatics. Until recently, the diagnosis of arterial diseases has relied upon angiography (an invasive procedure). Now, Duplex ultrasound, CT and MRI scans have made the diagnosis of arterial & venous disease much less invasive.

Whilst the treatment of vascular disease is not yet completely non-invasive, new developments in catheter based treatments (angioplasty, stent, sclerotherapy) have transformed much of vascular therapy into minimally invasive procedures. For more information please call the number above.

Welcome to the Christchurch Vascular Group - we are a team of experienced specialist vascular consultants who are experts in all arterial and venous disease.

What is General Surgery?
The role of the General Surgical Department varies from hospital to hospital, but in broad terms general surgery can be said to deal with a wide range of conditions within the abdomen, breast, neck, skin and, in many hospitals, vascular (blood vessel) system.
 
While the name would suggest that the focus of general surgery is to perform operations, often this is not the case. Many patients are referred to surgeons with conditions that do not need surgical procedures, but merely require counselling or medical treatment.

Note: Please note below that some people are not available at all locations.

**Mr Michael Booth**
General Surgeon - Laparoscopic, Upper GI, Bariatric & Endoscopist
Available at 15 Shea Terrace, Takapuna

**Mr Richard Harman**
General Surgeon - Laparoscopic, Breast, Endocrine & Melanoma
Available at 15 Shea Terrace, Takapuna

**Mr Mike Hulme-Moir**
General Surgeon - Laparoscopic, Colorectal, Melanoma & Endoscopist
Available at all locations.

Referral Expectations:

When you come to your appointment, your surgeon will ask questions about your illness and examine you to try to determine or confirm the diagnosis. This process may also require a number of tests (e.g. blood tests, x-rays, scans etc). 
Sometimes this can all be done during one visit, but for some conditions this will take several follow-up appointments. Occasionally some tests are arranged even before your appointment to try to speed up the process.
 
Once a diagnosis has been made, your surgeon will discuss treatment with you. In some instances this will mean surgery, while other cases can be managed with medication and advice. 
If surgery is advised, the steps involved in the surgical process and the likely outcome are usually discussed with you at this time.

Common Conditions:

Skin Disorders -
Skin conditions dealt with by general surgery include lumps, tumours and other lesions of the skin and underlying tissues.

Endocrine Disorders -
Abnormalities of the endocrine system treated by general surgery include disorders of the pancreas and adrenal glands in the abdomen and the thyroid and parathyroid glands in the neck. These are often very complex conditions requiring extensive investigations.

Breast Disorders -
General surgery covers breast diseases including breast cancer. These conditions are often initially dealt with in a specialised breast clinic which is able to perform a number of investigations.

Gastrointestinal Disorders -
Conditions of the gut dealt with by general surgery include disorders of the oesophagus, stomach, small bowel, large bowel and anus.

Salivary Gland Disorders - 
Disorders of the salivary glands may be dealt with by the general surgical department or the ENT (ORL) department depending on the local policy. 

Liver and Biliary System Disorders -
General surgery covers some disorders of the liver and biliary system.

Hernias -
A hernia exists where part of the abdominal wall is weakened, and the contents of the abdomen push through to the outside.

Vascular Disorders -
Vascular (blood vessel) disorders treated by general surgery include varicose veins, blockages and narrowings.
