Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is the oldest practice of medicine in the world, dating back 5,000 years. The science behind Acupuncture has been researched and proven effective to treat hundreds of different disorders. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have made a profound effect on infertility. The latest research shows Acupuncture alone increases your chances of a successful IVF cycle by 35%. Average IVF success rates are around 35% on their own, when you add in Acupuncture treatments when going through IVF then it can up your success rates to 70%. 

The process of Acupuncture is the application of painless thin hair-like needles placed in points over the head and body. The treatments are extremely relaxing due to the release of certain neurotransmitters from the brain like serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins. Acupuncture increases egg quality by regenerating cellular energy and reducing oxidative stress in the cells. Embryo implantation requires optimal endometrial receptivity, and Acupuncture performed during the implantation window shows a dramatic increase in the receptivity and blood flow to the uterine lining. Acupuncture reduces the inflammation around your fallopian tubes and opens up a clear pathway for the egg to be released and fertilized.

 Acupuncture can help balance your hormones and regulate healthy ovulation. 

Whether you are struggling with PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, repeated pregnancy loss, low ovarian reserve, sperm quality issues, luteal phase defect, stress-induced infertility or any other related fertility issues, acupuncture WILL help!

ACUPUNCTURE & PREGNANCY

Receiving Acupuncture through pregnancy helps with fetal development and boosts immune strength to both mother and baby. The effects of stress relief and the calming neurotransmitters released from the brain during treatment are very powerful for the baby’s development of their nervous system. If the baby is in a breech position then a unique Acupuncture treatment designed for breach position babies is given between weeks 34-38 to flip the baby into a head-down position. Labor induction treatments begin at weeks 36 to naturally prepare your body for labor. These treatments help to get the baby in the correct position, open up your hips, relax the mind to prepare for this new transition, and hormonally align your system for labor. Once week 40 hits, the treatments begin to focus on the production of oxytocin from the brain, dilating the cervix, dropping the baby into position and stimulating uterine contractions.
