Essendon Acupuncture in Fertility and IVF

From an intensive fertility initial consultation, we spend an extended amount of time discussing our findings with you and what we can do to help overcome your fertility challenges.

We may seem a bit pedantic in some areas, but with so much at stake, we don’t like to cut corners!

Our team of Essendon acupuncturists co-operates closely with your gynecologist, IVF specialist, GP, and any other health professional helping you along your journey, to ensure the best outcomes for you. We believe each area of medicine has something valuable to offer you on your fertility journey.

Sadly, there is a predicted decrease in fertility rates in Essendon among women.  We hope to change this trend and be a part of the success stories of many couples hoping to conceive.

Acupuncture in pregnancy and pre labour induction

Acupuncture may be beneficial for some aspects of pregnancy and labor.

Treatment can naturally minimize pain and aches in pregnancy, and reduce stress on mothers-to-be. This can help you towards the best possible birth outcomes for you and your baby.

Acupuncture for pre-labour induction preparation is a great option too. Our treatment approach can help get the body ready if you have been asked to consider labour induction.

Acupuncture for endometriosis pain

Endometriosis is a medical condition in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus (the endometrium) grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis can cause great discomfort and pain. In addition, endometriosis may impede blastocyst implantation, which can cause fertility issues for women.

According to the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, endometriosis affects one in ten women. The cause of endometriosis is yet to be discovered; however, endometriosis has been linked to genetics. That is, if your mother or any female family members of yours have it, there is a likelihood that you may also develop it.

There are many options to treat endometriosis. The Royal Women’s Hospital website suggests that Chinese medicine may be useful in the treatment of endometriosis pain. What this means is that many women dealing with endometriosis pain could benefit from acupuncture.

At Qi Medicine, you will be attended to by professionally trained and registered Chinese medicine doctors who can help you relieve endometriosis pain with our gentle yet effective acupuncture pain relief techniques.

One great way we recommend to manage your endometriosis pain is with a castor oil pack. Watch our video on how to make your own castor oil pack here.

Acupuncture for back pain and sciatica

When people hear the word acupuncture, what comes to mind for most is pain relief.

Yes, acupuncture may help to alleviate your sciatica, lower back, neck, and other muscle or joint pain, for that matter!

According to a report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 16% of Australians complain of back pain. Our goal at Qi Medicine Acupuncture is to offer treatment to everyone in Essendon North and Essendon West with the option of acupuncture to relieve back pain.

Online, the team at Better Health channel Victoria  also suggested that acupuncture is ‘moderately helpful in a wide range of conditions, particularly those which involve pain.’
