Dr Kua is offering appointments for acupuncture and sclerotherapy. Medical acupuncture can be offered for certain medical conditions such as some pain - particularly musculoskeletal, nausea or regulation of menstrual cycles. In all circumstances, it is used in conjunction with other modalities of treatment, it is never done in isolation.  

 

Sclerotherapy is the treatment of small unwanted veins - usually small red/purple veins, predominantly in the lower limbs by injecting with a needle a chemical/sclerosant directly into the vein. It is part of treatment options for patients with venous incompetencies (varicose veins) depending on the severity of the condition. 

​

Dr Kua can also speak Mandarin and Hokkien. She enjoys hiking and reading and music in her spare time.
