What does Fēng Shén zhī Dào mean?
It is Chinese for the ‘Way of the Wind Spirit’ or the ‘Path of the Wind Spirit’, or ‘Mastery of Wind’.
Chinese Medicine considers wind as one of the most common pathologies of illness and pain in the body and its symptoms correspond most closely to the functions of the nervous system.
Dr Ivan Folghera
BHSc (Acupuncture)
Traditional Chinese Doctor and Acupuncturist
Hi, I’m Ivan, a qualified Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Practitioner serving Highbury and Blackwood in Adelaide.
With nearly 15 years of experience studying and practising Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I provide personalised acupuncture and holistic health treatments designed to support pain relief, recovery, wellness, and long-term health balance.
At my clinic in Highbury and Blackwood, I work with patients experiencing:
- Chronic pain
- Neck and back pain
- Stress and anxiety
- Headaches and migraines
- Fatigue and low energy
- Digestive issues
- Sleep disturbances
- Women’s health concerns
- Sports and mobility issues
- General wellbeing and preventative care
Using the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I assess the body as an interconnected system to identify underlying imbalances contributing to symptoms and health concerns.
My acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine treatments combine traditional techniques with modern understanding to help support the body’s natural healing processes. Treatments may include:
- Acupuncture
- Chinese Herbal Medicine
- Cupping Therapy
- Lifestyle and dietary guidance
- Breathwork and relaxation practices
- Holistic wellness support
I also integrate my background in Nei Gong — a traditional Chinese system of breathing, meditation, and internal movement practices — to support nervous system regulation, stress management, and overall wellbeing.
My approach is calm, personalised, and focused on creating a private and supportive environment where your health goals are the priority.
All of this occurs in a private, confidential space where my focus is entirely on you. You can book an appointment here or view my services and prices, or use the button below.
I hope to see you soon.
