Acupuncture is an ancient health system that has been practised for thousands of years and is continuing to gain popularity in Melbourne with its application of holistic and natural therapies.
At AcuHealth Therapies we regularly see patients from Doncaster, Templestowe, Bulleen and surrounding suburbs who are looking for relief from chronic pain, sports injuries or women’s health concerns such as fertility or pregnancy related symptoms.
Back pain and sciatica are common conditions among our patients and these symptoms can be brought upon by a variety of factors including:
At our clinic we utilise acupuncture for back pain aiming to:
Acupuncture for sciatica may help to reduce pressure along the sciatic nerve and also support the body’s natural healing response. Research from 2015 stated that ‘acupuncture may more effectively relieve leg pain/lumbago and improve global assessment of sciatica when compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs treatment.’
Whether you are a professional athlete or just involved in a social sporting team or activity, injuries can occur. At our clinic we offer sports acupuncture to reduce and manage pain, assist with recovery and injury prevention.
Common conditions we provide acupuncture therapy for are:
Plantar Fasciitis – acupuncture may help to relieve foot and heel pain by maximising blood flow to the plantar fascia and minimising inflammation. Research from 2024 stated that ‘acupuncture ‘should be considered as a second line treatment for plantar fasciitis together with other common treatment options.’
Hamstring injuries – if you have a tight or strained hamstring acupuncture may help to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation.
A 2023 study indicated that ‘acupuncture may be a promising approach for enhancing hamstring flexibility… and acupuncture could aid in preventing hamstring muscle injuries by increasing flexibility, reducing low back pain, and decreasing the likelihood of sports injuries.’
Tennis Elbow – acupuncture for tennis elbow focuses on pain reduction and reducing inflammation near the elbow joint. More research is needed around acupuncture for tennis elbow but a 2020 study indicated that ‘acupuncture appears to be superior to drug or blocking therapy’ for tennis elbow.
In addition to acupuncture for pain management, AcuHealth Therapies also focuses on acupuncture for fertility and IVF and pregnancy acupuncture.
Acupuncture for fertility & IVF can complement modern western medicine treatments and may help to support natural conception. Acupuncture for fertility and IVF may help to regulate hormones and reduce stress. Acupuncturists look to address both physical and mental aspects with the aim to maintain balance within the body.
For patients who are undergoing IVF treatment, acupuncture is commonly used to help prepare the body for implantation and to support the embryo transfer process.
Pregnancy acupuncture is commonly utilised to address pregnancy-related symptoms including pregnancy nausea, fatigue and pregnancy-related back pain. Acupuncture for labour induction may help to prepare pregnant women for childbirth.
A study from 2024 stated that ‘acupuncture combined with western medicine may be a more effective treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy than western medicine alone’.
