Acupuncture has been effective in treating:

Pregnancy:

Morning sickness, anxiety & stress, headaches & migraines, heartburn, insomnia, pelvic & back pain, varicose veins, edema, carpal tunnel, breech presentation (from 33 weeks on), C-section preparation, and more.

One of our most popular treatments is cervical ripening acupuncture. We make sure you as comfortable, inserting points on your head, arms and legs. Most people find the treatment deeply relaxing. Studies have shown that this treatment (from 36 weeks on) can increase coping skills and the chance of a vaginal delivery, while helping to reduce the likelihood of interventions, emergency c-sections, and need for an epidural.

Postpartum

Milk supply, mastitis, after pains, and more.

Fertility

Acupuncture can help support you at whatever stage of your fertility journey you are on. It can help if you are just starting out, after trying for some time, or starting an IVF or IUI cycle.

Acupuncture for fertility can:

• improve circulation to the uterus and ovaries which helps improve egg quality

• reduces inflammation, which also helps with egg quality and hormonal imbalances

• stimulates the HPO axis which helps to regulate the hormones

• calms the nervous system

In a study known as the Paulus Protocol, it showed that doing acupuncture pre- and post-IVF transfer can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy by 16.1%.
