Adam Hjort
I am the Acupuncturist and owner of the Traditional Acupuncture clinic on the Gold Coast. I know being in pain can be a miserable experience. When it is out of control it tends to take you away from the things you value in life, leaving you to feel very unlike yourself.
There are lots of different reasons for pain but there is no reason more genuine than any other. Anyone can struggle to recover, regardless of age or physical fitness. Bigger issues among my patients are that they do not understand their pain, they do not know what to do and they have not found a treatment that helps. This makes them deeply frustrated.
I know exactly how it feels to be in this position. As a teenager a persistent sports injury led me to acupuncture. I was so impressed with the results, not only was I was able to do what I loved again, but a few years later I became an acupuncturist. Acupuncture has served my family, friends and patients ever since.
Whilst I was elated to have found a treatment that helped with pain, in the following years it was my knowledge that became a big part of my work. There have been enormous advancements in the understanding of pain in recent decades. Many of these discoveries can be used to help you recover more effectively. More recently in my life, pain knowledge (plus acupuncture of course!) helped me make an exceptionally quick recovery after a knee reconstruction. Knowledge is useful because it helps you understand what is happening in your body and gives you a clear framework for what to do.
Up-to-date and evidence based pain knowledge has helped my patients make more effective recoveries too. For many, the right knowledge and treatment was the catalyst for returning to pain-free living and getting back to the things they valued. Once their health and their lives are restored, they begin to feel like themselves again.
Its my hope that I can be of service in your recovery and get you back to feeling like yourself again.
