Lao Kung was started in 2002 by Arnold Erasmus, mainly as a Tui-Na practice. "Lao Kung", pronounced "Lao Gong" roughly translates as "place of work" and is the acupuncture point/chakra in the centre of the palms, which seemed appropriate for a Tui-Na practice, as massage is mainly done with your hands. In 2006 the emphasis of the practice shifted and Lao Kung now specializes in acupuncture and moxibustion treatments as well as Tai Chi and Chi Kung instruction. After being situated in Observatory for six years the practice moved to Kenilworth in 2013. The new venue has more rooms available and allows for improved business hours. Arnold Erasmus also runs donation based Tai Chi classes in Pinelands for the upliftment of the local and surrounding community. For more in-depth information about acupuncture, Tai Chi classes and Moxibustion please view the relevant pages listed underneath.

"Using a review method known as a Network Meta-analysis, it is possible to evaluate various treatments for the same condition in a head to head analysis. Below are a few examples of how acupuncture compares to other treatments.

A 2013 network meta-analysis comparing physical treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee found that, when looking at high quality studies, acupuncture had the largest effect compared to usual care..

A 2015 network meta-analysis comparing treatments in addition to exercise for shoulder impingement syndrome found that acupuncture was the most effective adjunctive treatment out of 17 interventions, outperforming all other adjuncts such as steroid injection, NSAIDs, and ultrasound therapy.

A 2016 comparison of 20 treatments for sciatica ranked acupuncture as 2nd most effective after the use of biological agents, outperforming manipulation, epidurals, disc surgery, opioids, exercise, and an invasive procedure called radio-frequency denervation, which came in last

In 2018, a network-meta-analysis found that acupuncture was more effective than drugs for treating chronic constipation and with the fewest side-effects.""

Research into acupuncture as a medical treatment has grown exponentially in the past 20 years, with over 13,000 studies conducted in 60 countries.
