I have recently gone to this business for acupuncture to help with a leg injury I received over the Xmas break and it was the worst decision I have ever made.
The initial consult and treatments (prior to producing my MRI report) was 5 or 6 needs stuck in my leg, a heat lamp turned on for 15 - 20 mins directed at my leg and Dr Wong absent from the room, attending other patients in this time. Then pay and book in again.
The big issue occurred when I got my MRI which spelt out a Grade 1 Strain in the first line, but in the body of the report and conclusion highlighted a serious muscle tear and bruising to the bone where the ligaments have pulled on the bone.
Dr Wong's advice here was to start doing some hip and muscle stretches as well as leg movements to over work the damaged area. The result of this was my entire leg and hip locked up and standing, lying down flat, coughing, literally any movement became excruciatingly painful and sleep just didn't happen for me anymore.
Upon my last visit to highlight how the stretching had made things so much worse, I asked if he could use acupuncture to release the newly locked muscles, to which he said he couldn't and advised alternative stretches instead. This according to my Sports GP and Physio was yet again the complete wrong advice.
I later went to emergency to review the ongoing pain I had in the area to find that not only was there additional muscle damage, but due to the acupuncture, I had a huge infection/abscess in my hip, groin & leg as well, which resulted in me being hospitalised, undergoing several sessions of surgery and being on IV & oral anti-biotics for weeks.
To add insult to this injury, when I tried to claim these visits with my Health Insurance (HCF) I was informed that this business was not recognised by the HCF Group for this service, so I couldn't claim for any of my visits.
I am not aware of how good/bad the massage therapy is for this business, but if you have an injury and you are looking to seek help for it, avoid FMT Traditional Healing like the plague. read more
