Services

Acupuncture

Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points to restore Qi flow and address conditions like chronic pain, stress, and fertility issues. Our Brisbane clinic uses evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs. Patients benefit from improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced overall wellness through regular sessions.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses glass or silicone cups to create suction, relieving muscle tension and promoting blood flow. Ideal for chronic pain and sports injuries, this treatment helps release toxins and improve mobility. Sessions at our Brisbane clinic often combine cupping with acupuncture for enhanced results.

Herbal Medicine

Customised herbal formulas address internal imbalances and chronic conditions. Our Brisbane practitioners prescribe synergistic blends of over 300 traditional herbs to support digestive health, respiratory function, and emotional well-being. Treatments are tailored to individual diagnoses for maximum efficacy.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a ceramic tool to stimulate circulation and release muscle tension. Effective for headaches, neck pain, and respiratory issues, this technique promotes detoxification and accelerates healing. Patients often experience immediate relief after sessions at our Brisbane clinic.

IVF Acupuncture

Specialised acupuncture protocols enhance fertility treatments and support natural conception. Our Brisbane clinic offers a 5-Stage IVF Assistance Program to improve pregnancy outcomes. Treatments focus on hormonal balance, uterine health, and stress reduction for couples undergoing assisted reproduction.

After 3 years of trying to have a baby and two miscarriages, I decided to try acupuncture and Chinese medicine. After my second treatment of acupuncture with Francesco, I found out I was pregnant. At our 6 week dating scan, we found out we were having twins. We now have 3 month old, healthy and happy boy/girl twins. Thank you Francesco on helping us on our fertility journey.

FIVE STARS! You wont go wrong to visit Francesco & Tina for a holistic alternative to pain therapy. I have been getting acupuncture treatments from Francesco over the last few years for numerous muscular complaints and Francescos incredible ability & knowledge to alleviate pain and help muscle tension through acupuncture has kept me coming back to see him and help heal without the need for western medicine. I always feel energized after my treatments! Thank you Francesco! However, at my recent appointment, I received an acupuncture treatment from Francesco and then a massage and pressure

Highly recommend, excellent service and very professional.
Treatments have very beneficial. About a month ago various methods of massage was started ( as well as the usual acupuncture in combination ) over very tight muscles, e.g upper back and neck and have noticed significant improvement.
