Pregnancy is often one of the most exciting times for both women, and expecting couples, an experience that for the most part is fulfilling and joyous. Unfortunately for others it’s not the case, it can be exhausting, painful and completely overwhelming. Whatever the experience of pregnancy might be, there are always ailments that arise that women wish to seek help with.

​

Acupuncture is increasingly becoming a popular approach for pregnancy related health. It is a drug free, gentle and nurturing treatment option, and women take real comfort in the positive change it provides for them both physically and mentally. Alongside their primary care, women can safely receive Acupuncture treatment during their entire pregnancy, this includes the final days approaching labour, and pre and postpartum.   

​

Some complications women may seek help with generally include morning sickness, headaches, anxiety, swelling, and general aches and pains. Acupuncture is also used leading up to labour, helping to increase blood flow and cervical ripening which may assist the delivery. Rob has dedicated 15 years to helping pregnant women deal with these very issues and more, and understands these clinical presentations well.  

Whatever may arise, there is help, and we welcome you to Maryborough and Hervey Bay clinic.
