FAQ
What is acupuncture and how does it work?
Acupuncture is a regulated practice within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. It is used to support pain management, hormonal health, fertility, emotional wellbeing, digestion, and general health. When performed by an AHPRA-registered practitioner, it is considered safe and evidence-informed.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes. All treatments at Almond Wellness Centre use sterile, single-use disposable needles. We follow strict hygiene protocols in line with Australian standards.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on your condition and goals. Acute issues may respond within a few sessions. Conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, chronic pain, or fertility challenges typically benefit from a structured program over several weeks. Your practitioner will recommend a plan at your first consultation.
Can acupuncture support IVF and fertility treatment?
Yes. We offer structured fertility acupuncture programs designed to complement IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies. This includes acupuncture before and after embryo transfer (the Paulus Protocol), cycle regulation support, and help managing medication side effects.
Does acupuncture help with period pain and women’s health?
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are commonly used to support conditions including period pain, irregular cycles, PMS and PMDD, PCOS, endometriosis, and menopausal symptoms. Our programs are tailored to your individual needs.
Do you offer health fund rebates?
Yes. We offer on-the-spot HICAPS claiming for eligible private health insurance providers.
Are your practitioners registered?
