Conditions

Tim Dean, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist, sees people in Buderim for a wide range of health concerns.

Research supports Acupuncture for some conditions, while for others the evidence is limited or still developing.

This page lists the health concerns Tim commonly sees, so you can decide whether his approach suits you.

Pain

I see people with back pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines and nerve pain, whether it started recently or has been around for years.

Many people come to me when stress, anxiety or poor sleep starts affecting how they feel day to day.

Arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis and disc problems are common reasons people come in, often when stiffness is limiting everyday movement.

I see people with sinus problems, hay fever and other allergy-related concerns, especially when symptoms keep returning.

I’ve worked with athletes for over 30 years, from weekend runners to Olympic swimmers, and also see people recovering after injury or surgery.

Bloating, irregularity and other gut problems are often tied to stress, and I look at both together.

I see people with numbness, cold hands and feet, and nerve problems such as neuropathy after diabetes, stroke poor circulation or shingles.

Ongoing tiredness and low energy, including after a viral illness, is something I see regularly.

I see people dealing with anxiety, low mood and ongoing stress, and I work alongside their GP, psychologist or counsellor.
