Your Local Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Clinic in Coburg
Coburg Chinese Medicine has been part of the Coburg community since 2012. You'll find me at 197 Sydney Road, just up the street from the Post Office Hotel, where I've welcomed people from Coburg, Coburg North and Melbourne's surrounding northern suburbs for more than a decade.
I've been practising Chinese medicine for nearly 15 years and maintain a traditional, single-practitioner approach. When you book an appointment, you'll see me, and if you return, you'll continue seeing the same practitioner who's familiar with your health history and circumstances.
Running an independent practice also helps me keep overheads relatively low and consultation fees affordable. I value taking the time to understand people's concerns, provide straightforward advice and help them make informed decisions about their healthcare.
Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine and Other Services in Coburg
I offer acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, cupping and hijama (wet cupping), and moxibustion at the clinic on Sydney Road. I also maintain an on-site herbal dispensary.
People come to see me about a range of health concerns, including back pain, neck and shoulder discomfort, headaches and migraines, and digestive concerns. We can discuss whether acupuncture or another Chinese medicine service may be suitable for your circumstances, taking account of your health history, medications and other healthcare.
If you're looking for a particular service, choose the corresponding appointment type when booking online. Acupuncture, cupping, hijama and Chinese herbal medicine have their own appointment options.

Some Useful Locations in Coburg
Because we believe strongly in supporting local businesses we have included some places you can checkout in Coburg between acupuncture appointments.
KFL Supermarket
KFL opened within Coburg in the last few years, and according to us is a welcome addition to the area. Aside from being a great source of east asian, middle eastern and some Mediterranean groceries, fresh veggies, tofu, frozen goods and more; it is also a pretty great source of various Chinese medicinal herbs, teas and liniments. They sell Hua Tuo liniment, Po Sum On, Kwan Loong, Nin Jiom cough syrup, various raw herbs and a large variety of green and fermented teas.
Pro tip: This store has a number of vegan options including an aisle full of TVP mince and strips. If you check in the fridge you will also find a large variety of mock vegan meats including chick'n, pork and fish. We are a super fan of the vegan nuggets.

True North Cafe
True North opened up as a wonderful surprise to the residents of Coburg in 2014 and it has been loved ever since. Purveyors of great coffee and excellent food, True North is an inviting and warm cafe with a punk rock sensibility. Nadia and Brett run a tight ship and the customer service is friendly and warm without any notes of pretension that can be found in other cafes closer to Brunswick. We encourage you to try Nadia's delicious vegan muffins, the pickled sandwich is also an absolute winner. True North caters to all dietary needs - offering vegan, vegetarian and omnivorous options. On the weekends it is open for dinner and will run events such as cheesey movie nights and metal trivia night.

Coburg Lake
Coburg Lake is a great place to go to for a gentle stroll, a sit down picnic, some exercise or a contemplative gaze across the man made lake. To be fair it is more of a widening of merri creek. There are bbq facilities and also play equipment for the kids - both big ones and littles.
Coburg lake is a great place to take a water break on a jog or even as venue for a bit of internal contemplation or mindfulness using apps such as Insight Timer
Jetts Coburg
Jetts Coburg is just up Sydney Road from Coburg Chinese Medicine, and it's a great addition to the local neighbourhood. The staff are friendly and approachable, and they offer a range of flexible, affordable membership options without locking people into long contracts.
The gym has a good range of cardio and strength-training equipment, including space for proper resistance training with free weights, machines and functional exercises. They also have personal trainers who can work with members wanting some guidance or help developing a training program.
At the acupuncture clinic, I regularly discuss appropriate exercise and resistance training as part of a broader approach to managing musculoskeletal concerns, particularly when people are already working with a physiotherapist or another exercise professional.
Having a friendly, accessible gym with good strength-training facilities just up the road is a real asset to the neighbourhood.
