Leading Fertility Acupuncture Brisbane Specialists
Perhaps you’re considering methods to try before the more expensive and invasive options, or perhaps you’d like to use Acupuncture in conjunction with IVF.
A recent systematic review found a course of tailored fertility acupuncture treatments may improve pregnancy rates and follicle size for women undergoing clomid (Clomiphene citrate) treatment with anovulatory infertility (no ovulation).
If you’re eager to conceive but nervous about popping pills or seeking medical intervention, Brisbane Livewell Clinic offers natural fertility acupuncture treatments using Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Our experienced practitioners design personalised treatment plans to help couples conceive naturally using the methods that are right for you to help restore your body’s natural balance.
We want you to have the safest and best experience with Fertility as possible, and we welcome your questions. Speak to us today about our acupuncture for fertility treatment options.

Does Acupuncture for Fertility Hurt?
Acupuncture uses very small needles to stimulate certain acupuncture points, and some people are surprised that they don’t feel anything in a lot of areas!
Acupuncture is widely considered a safe therapy, but occasionally, as with all therapies – conventional and complementary – results may vary, and adverse reactions may be experienced.
For those that do experience adverse reactions to Acupuncture, the most common are itchiness and soreness at the site of the needles, light-headedness, mild bruising and muscle twitching.
However, some people can experience a little tenderness, especially in tight places. This feeling is similar to a massage therapist massaging an area with a knot in it that you didn’t know you had.
Most clients find they get used to the sensation rather quickly. After the first session, the mystery of how it will feel to you is solved! Couples Fertility Acupuncture may end up being one of your favourite activities on the calendar!
What to Expect at Your First Fertility Acupuncture Consultation
Get the Proper Diagnosis
At your first visit, our experienced fertility acupuncturist starts with a relaxed yet thorough consultation so we can understand your unique concerns, and create a course of treatment that suits you best.
We use the internationally recognised MRS mini-survey, conversation and other assessment tools to understand what needs attention immediately, and in the mid to long term.
- Find Relief with Our Acupuncture for Fertility Treatments
From the very first visit, our gentle acupuncturist uses this soothing and healing therapy to help deal with your specific symptoms and fertility-related issues, as well as helping with sleep and mood concerns, to promote deep relaxation, and to support the other therapies we provide. - Medicine Specifically Prepared For Your Condition
Herbs play a prominent role in healing. Herbs can be dispensed as an “off the shelf” formula or our practitioners can create a formula specifically designed for you. Our clinic has over 100 herbs to suit your specific needs. Our practitioners can modify your herbal formula as treatment progresses to ensure your medicine suits your current condition. From time-to-time, we may prescribe particular nutrients and supplements, as well as herbal medicines.
Walk Away With a Fertility Acupuncture Action Plan
Acupuncture is part of a holistic system of mind-body medicine, so our acupuncturist works with you to create an easy, simple plan to support your fertility treatments, leading you to an optimal pregnancy. As each woman is different, we understand the need for flexibility and common sense.
For most women, your fertility acupuncture treatment plan may also have an emphasis on food and nutrition; for others, it will be about emotional health and well-being, good sleep and stress management.
Some women will need the help of our fertility naturopath to support their entire hormonal system, particularly if there is diabetes or pre-diabetes or thyroid problems. For women struggling with aches and pains, massage, as well as acupuncture and exercise therapies, will be suggested.
From your first visit, we’re here to help you transform your health and beyond.
