Lane Cove · North Shore Sydney
Every treatment at Lane Cove Acupuncture is individually prescribed — no generic protocols. Dr Christine Shen (Acupuncturist) tailors each session to your specific TCM pattern diagnosis.
Service 01
Classical acupuncture at Lane Cove is not a generic needle-in-the-back-and-out-the-door treatment. Dr Shen selects each point based on your individual TCM diagnosis — drawing on classical texts including the Ling Shu and Nei Jing, combined with years of clinical intuition.
Recognised by AHPRA, covered by most private health funds via HICAPS, and clinically effective for a wide range of conditions — from acute injury to long-standing chronic complaints.
Service 02
Dr Shen prescribes classical herbal formulas — multi-ingredient, multi-target prescriptions refined over 2,000 years of clinical practice. All herbs are TGA-listed, quality-certified and tested for purity. Formulas are adjusted at every consultation as your pattern evolves.
Available as concentrated granules (dissolve in hot water), capsules, or traditional raw decoctions. Formulas can be posted nationwide for telehealth patients.
Service 03
The 90-minute Diagnostic Consultation is Dr Shen's signature offering — the most thorough assessment most patients have ever received. Using the classical Four Pillars of TCM diagnosis, she builds a complete picture of your health pattern, identifying the root cause of your complaints and mapping a clear treatment path forward.
Service 04
In Chinese medicine, emotional and physical health are inseparable. Grief lives in the Lungs, worry in the Spleen, fear in the Kidneys, anger in the Liver. Long-held emotional patterns create physical blockages — and physical imbalances generate emotional symptoms.
Lane Cove Acupuncture's holistic psychotherapy integrates the classical Chinese medicine emotional-organ framework with contemporary mind-body therapeutic approaches for patients who recognise the emotional dimension of their physical complaints.
Service 05
The same quality of care as an in-clinic visit — delivered via secure video from wherever you are. Ideal for patients who are housebound, travelling, or who simply prefer the convenience of consulting from home. Herbal formulas are dispatched nationwide.
