Adam Hjort - Your Acupuncturist
As a health practitioner for over a decade, I know your no.1 priority is to find pain relief.
I also know you urgently want to get back to the activities that are important to you.
I’ve been in this exact position myself… Most recently an ACL reconstruction in 2019 (pictured below is me 6 hours post-surgery).
My desire to understand how the body works, and how to meet the challenge of pain recovery, drove me to be an acupuncturist as a burnt out teenage athlete. Now, as a 35 year old father of two and Mixed Martial Arts enthusiast, this desire still drives me to be a better health professional.
I can honestly say knowledge about pain and recovery has come in handy… It’s my mission to share this knowledge with you and provide you a treatment that I wholeheartedly believe in.

How To Start your Recovery
Hang on… I’m still unsure
Does acupuncture really work?
Yes, there is a large amount of evidence suggesting acupuncture is effective for a variety of pain conditions. Many government health institutions and medical specialty groups agree that acupuncture works for pain and recommend it in their guidelines.
Can acupuncture help me with my pain?
Most of the time. A small percentage of patients with musculoskeletal pain, roughly 5%, will require more extensive interventions, such as surgery. That means 95% are excellent candidates for acupuncture. We do however, remain vigilant for red flag signs and symptoms that suggest you need referring elsewhere.
Is acupuncture painful?
Your comfort is important to us. Acupuncture techniques range from being gentle and shallow to deep and strong. We will tailor the treatment to suit your needs and preferences.
How long does it take to see results?
New pain can often be resolved within several sessions, sometimes with as little as one or two. Persistent and complex pain can take much longer and can be really difficult to put a timeline on. However, planning for 6-12 sessions over a few months is sensible.
Why do I need coaching? Can't you just fix the pain?
Pain is a complex symptom which has a lot of contributing factors. These factors go far beyond your body tissues. Coaching represents a unique opportunity for you to become more knowledgeable about pain and the strategies that can resolve it. Scientific evidence suggests that programs containing education & coaching have better long-term outcomes after treatment is completed.
Can I combine acupuncture with my current therapies?
Of course you can. Acupuncture can work well combined with other therapies. We pride ourselves on our knowledge and communication, and are happy to work collaboratively with other therapists, doctors and surgeons.
