Fertility
Regular treatment with acupuncture can optimize fertility and help to ensure a healthy pregnancy. We frequently work with clients who are trying to get pregnant naturally, as well as through assisted reproductive treatments including IVF, IUI, and ISCI.
Acupuncture is remarkably effective at increasing blood flow both to support ovarian function and uterine lining proliferation. In doing so, we work to support healthy ovulation and help the body to create an optimal environment for implantation, the start of a healthy pregnancy.
Our treatments work to balance hormones and encourage a healthy rhythm to the four phases of the menstrual cycle. For patients working through pre-existing diagnoses like PCOS or endometriosis, hormonal balance is essential in both supporting fertility and reducing symptoms that can frequently cause pain and discomfort.
Our treatments also work to support the mind-body component of a healthy fertility journey. Trying to get pregnant can be an emotional roller coaster. Acupuncture treatment works to calm and relax the autonomic nervous system, decreasing stress and putting your body in the ideal state for conception. Once patients have conceived, they frequently look forward to acupuncture treatments to help manage the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy.
As with all our treatments, fertility and pregnancy support is customized to each individual patient, their body, and their goals. Likewise, all treatment is designed to complement the existing course of treatment recommended by our patients’ other healthcare providers.
