Highbury Natural Health Centre sits right on the edge of Dernancourt. For local residents, the clinic at 24 Elliston Avenue is a few minutes away at most, with no complicated route involved.
Ivan Folghera BHSc. (Acupuncture) is an AHPRA-registered Chinese Medicine practitioner who consults from this clinic. He offers a full range of Traditional Chinese Medicine services and works collaboratively with each patient to understand their health before recommending anything.
Ivan believes healthcare should be easy to understand and centred on the person receiving it. He takes time with each consultation, explains what he has found and what he recommends, and does not push a predetermined treatment plan. If Chinese Medicine is not the right fit for your situation, he will say so.
For patients who find needles difficult, Ivan offers needle-free alternatives. He is experienced in adapting his approach to suit different comfort levels.
From his Highbury clinic, Ivan Folghera offers the following Traditional Chinese Medicine services:
Acupuncture involves fine, sterile needles inserted at specific points on the body. It forms the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been practised for thousands of years.
Chinese Herbal Medicine uses individually prescribed plant-based formulas. Each formula is developed following a thorough assessment of the patient’s health, constitution and current presentation.
Moxibustion involves applying heat near acupuncture points using dried mugwort. It is often used alongside acupuncture as part of a broader treatment plan.
Cupping Therapy places rounded cups on the skin to create suction over targeted areas. The technique may be stationary or involve moving the cups across the skin.
Gua Sha and Chinese Massage use firm, controlled pressure applied to soft tissue with either a smooth-edged tool or manual technique.
Needle-Free Treatment is available for patients who prefer to avoid needles, and is suitable for adults and children.
Chinese Medicine Lifestyle Advice provides practical guidance on diet, sleep, movement and daily habits, drawn from Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
The first appointment at Fēng Shén zhī Dào is a full assessment. Ivan works through your health history before making any recommendations, and you will leave with a clear understanding of what he proposes and why. There is no obligation to continue beyond that session.
Treatment frequency and the number of sessions vary depending on each person’s situation. Ivan discusses this openly from the start.
Highbury Natural Health Centre is at 24 Elliston Avenue, Highbury SA 5089. For Dernancourt residents, this is a short drive of a few minutes. Parking is available nearby.
