Pregnancy

Are you pregnant? Acupuncture may be able to help pregnant women with:

  • Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pains
  • Nausea and vomiting

Acupuncture in early pregnancy may help to calm and relax women through the first trimester. Many women continue acupuncture treatment throughout their pregnancy to address pregnancy-related muscular aches and pains such as sciatica or pubic symphysis pain.

Acupuncture can also promote relaxation in the final weeks of pregnancy, helping you prepare emotionally and physically for childbirth. To find out how we can support you in preparing for labour and beyond, email Mary-Jo at or call the clinic on (03) 9988 2141.

Chinese medicine is traditionally used in post-natal care to help support recovery and restore energy. Read more about self-care for a smoother transition into motherhood.
