What to expect in a fertility acupuncture session

Dr Karen believes in providing the best fertility acupuncture Adelaide has to offer. Here’s what sets our clinic apart:

• A deep dive into your history: A comprehensive initial intake covering your fertility journey, medical history, family factors, lifestyle and symptoms. We call this ‘being a fertility detective’.

• Review of Western medical investigations: This may include reviewing blood tests, scans, cycle tracking, surgical history and medical conditions, looking at both male and female fertility factors.

• Comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment: Pulse and tongue analysis, channel palpation and cycle-based evaluation.

• Individualised acupuncture treatment: Tailored sessions based on your needs, using traditional forms of treatment including fine needle insertion (acupuncture), moxibustion (warming therapy), gua sha and herbal medicine prescriptions.

• Clear guidance and plan: Education, suggestions and a personalised treatment plan outlining recommended frequency and next steps.
