about us

Acupuncture Brisbane – Balmoral & Alexandra Hills

A contemporary Chinese medicine and Acupuncture clinic at the heart of Balmoral, Hawthorne and Bulimba, Brisbane. Also a second clinic in Alexandra Hills, serving the Redlands.

Results Acupuncture is owned by Dr Francesco Pennisi — an acupuncturist Brisbane patients have relied on for over 30 years, and a practitioner and educator in Traditional Chinese Medicine. He works across a wide range of conditions.

Because the clinic is owner-operated, Francesco is the person who treats you — every appointment, from your first consultation onward. There is no rotation between practitioners, and no repeating your history to someone new. That continuity is clinical as much as personal: Chinese medicine works by tracking subtle change over time, and those observations are far more reliable when the same practitioner has made all of them.

This beautiful clinic offers a calm atmosphere and nurturing energy. It is a place to heal your body and mind, guided by the spirit of a natural healer.

Services

Holistic approach with long-term results.

Acupuncture

Francesco’s sustainable, whole-person care integrates acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine time-tested for 2,000+ years.

Moxibustion

Therapeutic warmth that boosts energy, supports immunity, and helps chronic or cold-type conditions.

Herbal Medicine

We use certified-organic AAA-grade herbs in precise formulas to treat root causes and support lasting recovery.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha is an ancient Chinese method to relieve pain and tension. It helps the body to release muscle tightness, improve circulation and reduce tension.

Cupping

Cupping helps the body to release muscle tightness by drawing out stagnation, easing pain and helping the body feel lighter and more relaxed.

Chinese Massage

Post-acupuncture Tui Na relaxes tight muscles, restores mobility, improves circulation, speeds recovery, and eases postural tension.

Laser Acupuncture

Laser acupuncture uses gentle light to ease pain and inflammation and speed recovery—ideal for children, sensitive areas, and needle-averse clients.

Qigong Movement Therapy

Targeted movement and strength work to support your recovery and mobility, helping you move with less pain, feel more stable, and better protect vulnerable areas from re-injury.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness meditation helps you calm your nervous system and steady your mind, so you feel less tense, less overwhelmed, and more clear, resilient, and grounded.

IVF & Natural Fertility

Fertility begins with balanced internal health. We support PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid issues, period pain, and cycle irregularity while improving hormones, lining quality, egg health, stress, and sleep. Treatment strengthens your reproductive foundation for natural conception or reliable IVF support.

Pain Management

Persistent pain often has contributing factors worth assessing in their own right. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr Francesco identifies the root pattern, reduces inflammation, eases pain, and restores function through precise acupuncture focused on long-term improvement.

Muscular & Skeletal

Acupuncture offers another approach. We target muscles, joints, and connective tissues that hands-on therapy may not reach. With accurate assessment and gentle methods, treatment reduces pain, improves mobility, and supports recovery from injuries or chronic tension.

Mental Health

Chinese medicine views mental wellbeing through the whole-body system. By improving sleep, digestion, circulation, and nervous-system balance, treatment helps ease anxiety, irritability, low mood, and stress sensitivity. Addressing these foundations creates greater clarity, stability, and resilience in daily life.

Internal Medicine

Our TCM approach uses pulse, tongue, and symptom assessment to uncover internal imbalances. We support digestive, immune, respiratory, hormonal, and menstrual health by correcting the underlying pattern. Treatment promotes steady functional improvement, better energy, and clearer overall wellbeing across many conditions

Sports Medicine

Acupuncture can reach deep tissues difficult to treat with manual therapy alone. Dr Francesco reviews your scans, correlates them with TCM findings, and applies targeted techniques to reduce pain, calm inflammation, improve movement, and support faster, more complete recovery from sports injuries and overuse issues.

Healthy Ageing

Healthy ageing means maintaining strength, clarity, and independence. Treatment supports balance in mobility, circulation, sleep, energy, memory, and mood. By addressing early changes in function, Chinese medicine helps you stay active and capable, preserving quality of movement and overall wellbeing as you age.
