Sports Injuries | Sports Performance
Alan works with both elite sports people and anyone else who suffers from sports injuries such as tennis elbow, frozen shoulder, broken arms/legs, golfer’s elbow or ankle sprains.
Many elite sports people, from a wide range of sports such as tennis, football, rowing, triathlon, skiing and swimming, have received acupuncture from Alan to enhance their sports performance.
Stress and Anxiety
Alan’s acupuncture treatment for stress and anxiety helps patients to restore balance to their bodies and their daily lives.
The gentle and calming effect of Japanese acupuncture has incredible restorative power that enables patients to overcome the debilitating effects of stress and anxiety such as digestion problems, insomnia, disturbed sleep or tightness in the neck, shoulders or back.
Immune Deficiencies
One of the great benefits of Japanese Acupuncture is its ability to strengthen a person’s immune system and speed up the natural healing processes of the body.
Alan has used this inherent power of acupuncture to treat chronic fatigue particularly in adolescents and elite athletes. His acupuncture treatments have also proven effective for immune deficiencies such as colds and flu, pneumonia, asthma and post-viral syndrome.

Japanese Acupuncture as a gentle form of treatment is very suitable for women’s health issues such as infertility and related IVF treatment, problems with pregnancy, natural birth assistance, menstrual pain and overall pre- and post-natal care.

Outstanding practitioner.Jerri Real Estate2022-09-15Owen is wonderful and a real healer. Thank you.Chegwin Jeffs2022-04-28Excellent, Owen is fantastic!Francisco Souza Dias2022-03-25I fell on my back and broke 2 vertebrae. Months after I was still in pain. Had pain everyday. I tried 3 different physios, one made it worse. I tried prolotherapy, nothing worked. Then I saw an acupuncturist while visiting my parents in Europe. He said, if you're in Australia you gotta see Alan. How far are you from Brisbane/Gold Coast? 4 sessions over 2 months solved the pain I'd been having for 2 years. Alan and Anna, it's been life changing. Thank you so much for your help but also for your kindness. All the best, FranciscoGreg Slack2021-12-10I feel Alan literally saved my life. I was suffering severe pain, compromised mobility and cronic fatigue that was affecting every aspect of my life and work, all from Ross River Disease. After my first appointment I had all of my movement back and NO PAIN. Bloody amazing!! I had a few more follow ups which were great! I cant recommend Alan and his team more!!John Devantier2021-03-21I just wanted to thank you for your magical treatment of my frozen shoulder/bursitis. I met you with an incredibly painful shoulder which I held limp against my body and it rendered me useless in many ways. I supplied X-rays and MRI scan results then you went to work. I had been prescribed anti inflammatories which in conjunction with your gentle manipulation got the shoulder moving again after the first consultation. I have never had acupuncture before and after talking to a mutual friend who referred me to you, I am definitely convinced that this therapy really works. So after three visits to QSMC and you, I am 75% cured and well on my way to a full recovery. Again a big thank you to Owen. Kindest regards, JohnMark Fogarty2021-03-11Owen has relieved my hip bursitis when everything else I have tried has failed. My next step was cortisone treatment & I'm so glad to have avoided that. His systemic treatment has also improved my sleep now that I'm pain free. Highly recommend Owen.Sandie Rudkins2021-03-02Owen is a blessing so thankful that i was able to see him to help with my painful. He is very knowledgeable and understanding. I like the way he explains the treatment and how it works. Sandie
