Mackay Acupuncture
Dr. Mark McAuliffe
Mark is an Australian registered Acupuncturist in Mackay with a strong focus on doing his best with acupuncture and other healing modalities to alleviate your pain and to get you well. Some common ailments he treats regularly are back, neck and joint pain, digestive and weight loss issues, hormonal problems, headaches, infertility, stress and anxiety. From many years of practice Mark understands that treating the symptoms alone does not cure or give the patient long lasting relief from their suffering. The overall pattern or root cause, needs to be addressed in the diagnosis and treatment.
There are many different types and styles of Oriental Medicine being practiced around the world. “I have done my fair share of different methods since 1997 including TCM, Tan, Tung, Zhu scalp, Korean and Tsuyoshi Shimamura Nagano styles. It was in late 2021 that l came across a system called Neoclassical Acupuncture created by Dr Slate Burris.
The paradigm shift with this method is that all diagnosis is done by palpating the body to check if there are meridians, organs, elements, branches or obstacles being blocked. Within 1 to 5 minutes the whole body can be assessed by palpation with instant feedback from the patient. According To Dr Slate Burris, this method is phenomenal because of its deep understanding of energetic architecture and structure, the practitioner often only needs to place one needle in the patient to get vast energetic changes in the body, which often equates to removal of pain or most of the pain immediately”.

Stress - Anxiety and Depression
Stress can impact on our daily life by affecting our general health and wellbeing over time. Acupuncture with western medicine may give great improvement for people suffering with anxiety or other emotional disorders using balance method and shen harmonisation. It may also help addictive patterns. We also use the NADA protocol for ear and body acupuncture for these disorders.

Neoclassical Acupuncture
Neoclassical Acupuncture is a revolutionary, palpatory style of Oriental Medicine which provides immediate feedback with each needle placed. What has made it one of the fastest growing styles in Australia, USA, Europe and Mexico is its immediate efficacy using 1 needle only with advanced training, with no need for ‘recipes’ or ‘point prescriptions.’ Diagnosis and treatment can involve up to 5 different levels: Element, Obstacle, Organ, Meridian. When treated on the three dimensional Elemental or Branches level , a persons internal awareness can activate, which often clears all levels immediately, instantly taking away symptoms with them. The clearing of each of these levels can be immediately verified via palpation and feedback from patient.
One of the keys to the system is the incorporation of the sixth element (often referred to as Ministerial Fire and previously considered as a branch of Fire) which brings into play a more ancient motor of elemental interaction, allowing results which often seem amazing.
Dr Mark has been organising courses after inviting the founder Dr Slate Burris out to Australia every year since 2022 to train this revolutionary system to Australian Acupuncturists in live Foundation and Advanced Masterclasses. See website- Neoclassical Acupuncture Training Worldwide
