Acupuncture for Fertility
Are you expecting a new baby or getting ready to expand your family? Acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy supports women’s health from pre-conception to postpartum care.
Our custom-tailored fertility and pregnancy acupuncture plans will help you throughout your pregnancy and will facilitate you on one of life’s most precious journeys.
When it comes to acupuncture, most of us think of it as an alternative treatment for musculoskeletal issues, like neck and back pain. But did you know that acupuncture can be used to support fertility, too? Regular acupuncture sessions can help you boost your chances of conceiving, ease your pregnancy symptoms, and support a healthy, easy labor and postpartum period.
If you’re still in the planning stages, then acupuncture sessions can help you support your reproductive health. Regular acupuncture sessions enhance your fertility and because acupuncture is non-invasive and 100% safe, it can be used in tandem with IVF and other treatments to improve your chances of success.
For mothers who are already expecting, acupuncture can be used to alleviate those pregnancy symptoms. You can rely on this holistic therapy to reduce your morning sickness, back pain, and muscle soreness naturally.
If you’ve just given birth and need some help coping with the stress and sleepless nights that come with caring for a newborn, acupuncture can help with that, as well. Acupuncture enhances your mood and helps regulate your hormones and emotions during the post-partum period, making your transition from pregnancy to motherhood much smoother.
No matter which stage you find yourself in, our acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy support plans will assist you every step of the way so you can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying this exciting time in your life.
How does acupuncture facilitate a healthy pregnancy?
One of the reasons why acupuncture is so effective at enhancing your fertility naturally is because it stimulates blood flow to the reproductive system. This increase in circulation promotes optimal function and healthy muscle tone.
This benefit doesn’t just make conception easier. It also helps the body keep the baby in the right position throughout the different stages of pregnancy. Better muscle tone also generally means an easier labor. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! How else does acupuncture enhance fertility and improve your chances of conception?
In addition to stimulating blood flow, acupuncture reduces stress. This can improve your chances of conceiving as well.
Stress has long been associated with infertility. If you’re struggling to get pregnant, even with the help of IVF treatments, acupuncture can help alleviate your anxiety. Reducing stress is essential for conception and for the healthy neurological development of your baby. So keeping your stress levels in check is critical, no matter where you are in your pregnancy.
During pregnancy, the body produces a hormone called relaxin. As the name implies, this hormone encourages the musculoskeletal system to relax, making joints a bit looser to prepare for childbirth. Unfortunately, relaxin can also contribute to back pain, hip pain, leg pain, and more. But acupuncture helps treat your pain by releasing muscle tension, reducing inflammation, and stimulating underperforming muscles to keep them strong and toned.
Acupuncture also helps alleviate nausea associated with morning sickness. In fact, acupuncture’s ability to regulate acid secretion and the muscular movements of the upper GI tract make it a great remedy for nausea in general, whether it’s motion sickness, postoperative nausea, or a side effect of chemotherapy.
If you’ve already given birth to your little bundle of joy, you may think it’s too late for you to benefit from acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy support. But you can still enjoy the hormone-regulating and mood-enhancing effects of this centuries-old holistic treatment.
Bringing your newborn home is a joyous occasion. But it can be stressful, too. Babies require constant attention, and this can take a toll on your sleep schedule and mental health. But our custom-made post-partum acupuncture plans will help you roll with the punches.
Acupuncture has been shown to be an effective supportive treatment for mothers dealing with postpartum depression. Acupuncture has long been thought to stimulate the release of endorphins, and it enhances serotonin metabolism as well, promoting a sense of calm, and allowing you to take the challenges of motherhood in your stride. The calming effects of acupuncture also make it an ideal holistic therapy for insomnia. And, as a new mother, you’ll need all the Z’s you can catch.
Of course, acupuncture doesn’t just improve your mood and reduce your stress levels. It also supports healthy hormones after childbirth. Acupuncture’s hormone-balancing effects help new mothers restore their cycles after giving birth. Regular treatments improve ovarian function and support a healthy endocrine system to encourage healthy hormone production.
