8 Ways How Fertility Acupuncture Can Help You Fall Pregnant


What is Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility Acupuncture is a specialised treatment using acupuncture to increase and help your chances of falling pregnant through either natural conception or IVF.

Who is Suitable for Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility Acupuncture is suitable for anybody both men and women who are wanting to conceive. Each person is assessed individually on their specific requirements and situations then a treatment plan is formulated for you and/or your partner.

How Can Fertility Acupuncture Help You?

Fertility Acupuncture can improve your fertility and pregnancy in the following ways:
  • Regulate hormones to produce more follicles and better quality eggs.
  • Relax the patient to lower stress levels.
  • Improve ovarian function.
  • Increase blood flow to the uterus to thicken the uterine lining.
  • Improve immune function.
  • During IVF can minimise the side effects of the medication needed.
  • Improve sperm quality for better embryos.
  • Healthier patients reduce the risk of miscarriage & morning sickness.

How Does Fertility Acupuncture Work?

Fertility acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment where the acupuncture meridians are used to trigger your bodies own natural ability to conceive and reproduce. This is for both men and women.

Recent research has shown that Acupuncture alone can increase your pregnancy rate by up to 40%. That combined with a slight change in diet to improve on what you are already doing can also increase your chances.

As each patient is assessed individually, for more specific information regarding how acupuncture can help, please ask one of our acupuncturist who will be more than happy to answer all your questions.

Can Fertility Acupuncture Be Used in Combination with IVF?

Yes, acupuncture does not interfere with existing IVF drug therapy. In fact used at the right times it can not only assist your IVF management but can minimise the effect of the medication taken. For more advice please ask your acupuncture practitioner.

How Much Fertility Acupuncture Treatment Will You Need?

As everyone is assessed individually the treatments will vary but usually you will have a session in the first week of your cycle and in the last 7-10 days of your cycle. This will vary depending on your cycle length and if you are preparing for IVF. We also have an IVF protocol for those going down this path.

Where is Fertility Acupuncture Performed?

Fertility Acupuncture is performed at our Sandgate Clinic in North Brisbane and is conducted in a private room in a relaxed environment.

Your treatment consists of a 15 to 20 minute relaxing massage where you can get everything off your chest if you need followed by your specialised acupuncture treatment. Treatments usually take approximately 1 hour in length and leave you feeling relaxed.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture originated in China over 5000 years ago.  It's based on the belief that health is determined by a balanced flow of chi, the vital life energy present in all living organisms.

According to acupuncture theory, chi circulates in the body along twelve major pathways, called meridians, each linked to specific internal organs and organ systems.

By inserting very fine, sterile single-use needles at specific points along the meridians, your acupuncturist can redirect and reposition the flow of energy (chi) for the purpose of relieving tension, stress, and pain.

The uninterrupted and balanced flow of energy along these meridians contributes to one's overall health.  However, blockages and imbalances result in pain and illness.

Acupuncture for Pain?

The most common use for acupuncture is pain relief. Most commonly back pain. However, acupuncture can be used to treat nearly all sources of muscle and joint pain.

We find that acupuncture can provide great relief for neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, elbow pain, hand and wrist pain, back pain, hip and leg pain, knee pain, ankle pain and fibromyalgia.

At PhysioWorks we've been using acupuncture combined with other more conventional physiotherapy techniques since the mid-1990's with great effect.

For more information whether acupuncture can help you, please ask your physiotherapist or one of acupuncturists.

What is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is an effective and efficient technique for the treatment of muscular pain and myofascial dysfunction.  Dry needling or intramuscular stimulation (IMS) is a technique developed by Dr. Chan Gunn and is extremely effective for relaxing overactive muscles, which contain trigger points.

In simple terms, the treatment involves needling of a muscle's trigger points without injecting any substance.

The approach is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles. It should not to be confused with the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) technique of acupuncture. However, since the same filiment needles are used in both dry needling and acupuncture, the confusion is understandable.
Is Dry Needling Effective?

Dr Chan Gunn in his I.M.S. approach and Dr Fischer in his segmental approach to Dry Needling strongly advocate the importance of clearing trigger points in both peripheral and spinal areas.

Today specifically trained physiotherapists and acupuncturists are using dry needling effectively and extensively within their practices for the treatment of Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction.

Most physiotherapists at PhysioWorks have dry needling training. For more information, please ask your physiotherapist or acupuncturist.
