Find balance and harmony in your life, naturally.
Ilan's Acupuncture Clinic is a sanctuary of healing and wellness, specialising in Japanese acupuncture, moxibustion, and shiatsu. The clinic is headed by Ilan Ben-Nissan, a licensed acupuncturist who has spent years honing his craft in Tokyo, Beijing, and Sydney. Ilan's approach to health and well-being is rooted in the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Japanese acupuncture, which emphasise the body's innate ability to heal itself when given the right conditions.
Our Services: Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese acupuncture is a gentle, yet powerful form of acupuncture that focuses on restoring balance and harmony to the body. This approach is unique in that it uses thinner needles and shallower insertion techniques, making it a more comfortable experience for patients. Japanese acupuncture also places a strong emphasis on diagnosing and treating the root cause of the condition, rather than just alleviating symptoms. This holistic approach ensures that patients not only feel better but also achieve long-lasting results.
Moxibustion: A Form of Eastern Heat Therapy
Moxibustion is a therapeutic technique that involves the burning of a herb called mugwort near specific points on the body. The heat generated by the mugwort helps to stimulate the flow of energy, or Qi, in the body, promoting healing and relaxation. Moxibustion is often used in conjunction with acupuncture to enhance its effects and is particularly effective in treating chronic pain, digestive issues, and gynaecological conditions.
Shiatsu: A Powerful Form of Massage
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese massage that involves the use of finger pressure and stretching techniques to stimulate the body's energy pathways. Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that helps to alleviate stress, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. Ilan's shiatsu sessions are tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring that patients receive the most effective treatment possible.
