Pregnancy Acupuncture
Pregnancy acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help address many of the common complaints during early pregnancy including morning sickness, nausea and fatigue. Undertaking acupuncture treatments from preconception to postpartum can assist in optimising health and managing stress.

It can effectively reduce pain and inflammation and treat injuries to improve flexibility, strength, motion, endurance and performance.
