Cameron Barker | Tweed Heads Holistic Health

Cameron Barker

Naturopath

CONTACT

Cameron is a Dry needling practitioner (Level 2), personal trainer (Cert 4 fitness) and Naturopath (B Nat). His passion for health and wellness comes from his own experiences with a connective tissue disorder and chronic pain, which motivates him to keep up to date with the latest research on pain management.

Cameron uses dry needling to target painful muscle trigger points to elicit twitch responses and release tight muscles. This stimulates the natural healing process by helping the nervous system ‘wind down’ which is necessary to treat chronic pain. Patients commonly see him for lower back pain, tension headaches, migraines, postural tightness and stress. However, this therapy helps treat any musculoskeletal issue such as osteoarthritis, disc bulge, whiplash and sciatica.

Cameron’s goal at THHH is to focus on dry needling. However, he will undoubtedly provide naturopathic advice and pain mitigating therapies to help improve treatment outcomes.

Typical complaints Mark helps with include RSI, Carpal Tunnel, neck, back, and knee pain, and tennis elbow. 

Acupuncture can also assist with fertility, embryo implantation, and can also reduce pain by regulating the menstrual cycle.

A lesser-known benefit of acupuncture is calming the nervous system, which can help alleviate stress, anxiety, headaches, and insomnia. 

Mark specializes in difficult-to-treat conditions and long-standing pain issues, where all other options have been exhausted. 

Mark is available by appointment. Please Call 0401 826 730 to book.
