3 types of chronic headache, one thing they share: conventional medicine only treats the symptom. Tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches each have a root cause that Paracetamol misses.

At The Urban Alchemist, our therapists hunt for the actual underlying musculoskeletal, hormonal and emotional imbalances so you get treatment that addresses cause, not just pain.

Ever wondered what happens at a holistic GP appointment? It's not what you'd expect. A 60-minute intake covering stress, sleep, diet, and history. An exam that connects the dots. Results explained in the context of your whole life, and medicine that treats the actual problem at hand, not just your symptoms. Your health story deserves that kind of attention.

Dr Firas offers a 15-minute, Medicare-covered Discovery Call so you can find out first-hand if integrative medicine is right for you.

If your headaches tend to build as the day goes on, your posture might be more involved than you think.

When we spend long hours looking at screens, hunching over a desk or looking down at our phones, it places ongoing strain on the muscles, joints and nerves of the neck and upper back.

Over time that strain does not just stay in the neck, it can travel, starting at the base of the skull and working its way up into the temples, behind the eyes and across the forehead.

Some signs your headaches might be posture related:

✦ Pain that starts in your neck before spreading to your head
✦ Headaches that get worse after desk work or screen time
✦ Stiffness and reduced movement in your neck
✦ Tenderness around your shoulders and upper back
✦ Relief when you stretch or change position

The good news is that when you identify what is actually driving the headaches, you can do something about them that goes beyond just managing the pain!

Spoiler: your body already does this. Your liver and kidneys are natural detox machines, working 24/7.

But when fatigue, brain fog, or digestive issues creep in, could your body's systems use some support?

That's where our evidence-based, heart-centred care comes in. At The Urban Alchemist, we treat the problem at its source.

One of the questions we get asked most often. Is acupuncture safe?

The short answer is yes, when it is performed by a qualified practitioner using sterile single use needles, acupuncture is generally considered very safe.

Like any healthcare treatment, your practitioner will always take the time to understand your individual circumstances and discuss anything relevant to you before your session begins.

At The Urban Alchemist our acupuncturist is experienced, qualified and genuinely committed to making sure you feel informed, comfortable and completely at ease from the moment you arrive.

If you have been curious about acupuncture but have had questions holding you back, come and have a chat with us, we would love to answer them.
