IVF Support with Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
In vitro fertilisation with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is one of the most widely used fertility treatments worldwide. Many individuals and couples undergoing IVF in Adelaide choose acupuncture as a complementary therapy to support their fertility journey naturally alongside medical treatment.
At Essential Acupuncture Clinic, we provide personalised IVF acupuncture treatments in Adelaide designed to support women and couples before, during, and after IVF cycles. Treatments are tailored to each stage of the fertility process, including ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval preparation, embryo transfer support, and overall wellbeing during treatment.
Acupuncture and IVF Research
Acupuncture has been traditionally used for centuries to support reproductive health and fertility in both women and men. Modern research continues to explore its potential benefits alongside assisted reproductive treatments.
A randomised controlled trial by Gillerman K, Kulkarni A, Shah A, Gudi A, and Homburg R involving 157 women undergoing IVF treatment found that women receiving acupuncture according to a consensus protocol showed improved IVF outcomes compared to the control group. The study concluded that acupuncture may be offered alongside IVF treatment in an attempt to improve treatment outcomes.
A further interdisciplinary systematic review analysing 31 studies involving 4,450 women suggested that acupuncture may be particularly beneficial for women with poor ovarian reserve or previous unsuccessful IVF attempts.

Blood circulation and body balance
Support before and after embryo transfer
Regulation of menstrual cycles and hormonal balance
Emotional wellbeing during IVF treatment
