Ascot Vale Acupuncture: Fertility and IVF support

One of the few Ascot Vale acupuncturists to have a special interest in the areas of natural fertility and IVF, Qi Medicine is focused on helping couples reduce the stress and pain of infertility treatments.

Five benefits of receiving acupuncture whilst on a fertility journey:

Reduces stress, tension, and fatigue
Looks at both the male and female factors contributing to fertility
Is beneficial to use in conjunction with mainstream fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI
Can be used at any stage of the fertility journey, from preparation through to after birth
Treats you as a whole person and treat’s you accordingly- you a not just your reproductive organs!

What fertility training do we have?

Most of our doctors of Chinese medicine are trained in the Fertile Life Method ©, developed by Dr. Kirsten Wolfe.

Taking a holistic, integrative, and thorough approach to fertility and IVF, the Fertile Life Method is at the core of our practice.

We diligently work to uncover the deeper reasons why you may not have started a family yet and to discuss any additional fertility help you might need.

Our doctors or Chinese medicine practitioners will leave ‘no stone unturned,’ conducting a comprehensive 150-point check. This check will evaluate the gynecological and reproductive health of both you and your partner.

Following this assessment, we will provide you with a clear treatment timeline and plan, outlining exactly what your next steps toward having a baby should be.

How we work with your IVF and fertility doctor

We believe that each health professional brings a unique skill to their field, which is why we collaborate closely with your gynecologist, IVF specialist, GP, and any other members of your healthcare team.

Additionally, we recognize that every therapist offers something distinct and that acupuncture can be seamlessly integrated with other mainstream medical approaches.

Unfortunately, fertility rates in Moonee Valley are projected to decline in the coming years, largely due to women choosing to have children later in life, which can pose various challenges.

Given this, our goal is to assist as many couples as possible in achieving their dream of starting a family, regardless of age.

Acupuncture in pregnancy and pre labour induction

Are you expecting a baby? Then think of us as your pregnancy acupuncture clinic in Moonee Valley.

Acupuncture is completely drug-free and works only with the body’s natural rhythms. Therefore, it is the go-to for many women to help alleviate pain and discomfort in pregnancy.

A key benefit for receiving acupuncture in pregnancy is that it can be used at any stage of pregnancy, right up to labour.

Are you needing help with pre labour induction acupuncture? If you have been booked in for medical induction and are wanting help to prepare yourself for this process, then acupuncture may be useful.

We can help relax your body and mind, and help you be in the best place possible for bubs to arrive.

Acupuncture for endometriosis pain

The pain of endometriosis can be excruciating for many women and is often poorly understood by loved ones and peers. Unlike typical ‘period cramps,’ endometriosis pain frequently doesn’t respond to standard painkillers.

At Qi Medicine Acupuncture, we are dedicated to helping women alleviate the pain, discomfort, and stress associated with endometriosis through acupuncture.

According to the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, endometriosis affects around one in ten women.

Acupuncture is effective in reducing the cramping pain associated with endometriosis.

The Royal Women’s Hospital notes that the cause of endometriosis remains largely unknown. According to their website:

“Some women find symptom relief through alternative treatments, with traditional Chinese medicine and herbal preparations being among the most popular.”

Given that acupuncture is recommended by many mainstream health professionals and clinically suggested for pain relief, it may be an excellent option if you suffer from endometriosis.

All of our doctors of Chinese medicine follow specific treatment protocols that could help you find relief from pain.

Cosmetic acupuncture

Skin health is so important to us here at Qi Medicine Acupuncture!

Your skin is a reflection of your internal wellbeing, and if your skin is off-kilter, then so is the rest of your system.

Because of this, Cosmetic acupuncture and skin needling are some of the best ways we know how to help you have the healthiest looking skin possible.

Nowadays, Ascot Vale women are busier now than ever.

We believe that your beauty treatments should help to relieve stress, and can be fit into a mid-week lunch break.

Cosmetic acupuncture can help reduce lines caused by stress and fatigue in the face.

But we don’t just want to give you creams and lotions, we want to work on the deeper issues underlying skin imbalances, and unhealthy aging.

Cosmetic acupuncture works on several layers of our appearance; it influences the muscles underneath the skin, it can have an effect on nerves in the system affecting skin health. In addition, skin needling can help to boost collagen and cellular turnover in the top skin layer.

There are many different ways to look after your skin, but cosmetic acupuncture is one of the few to combine internal health and wellbeing with external facial rejuvenation.

Acupuncture treatment for pain relief

Acupuncture is widely recognized for its effectiveness in pain relief due to its ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.

By inserting thin, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture promotes the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.

These endorphins help to reduce pain perception and improve overall well-being.

Additionally, acupuncture enhances blood flow and reduces inflammation in affected areas, which can further alleviate pain and support the healing process.

Beyond its physiological benefits, acupuncture also addresses pain from a holistic perspective. It helps balance the body’s energy, or “qi,” and restores harmony to the systems involved in pain regulation.

This holistic approach means that acupuncture can be effective for various types of pain, including chronic conditions, musculoskeletal issues, and even pain related to stress.

By treating both the symptoms and underlying causes of pain, acupuncture provides a comprehensive method for pain management and relief.
