In the West it is now a popular form of medicine to effectively treat many conditions alongside conventional medicine. There is a significant body of research available which shows that Acupuncture is widely accepted as an effective solution for a range of illnesses and symptoms.

Acupuncture can help with all stages in the fertility journey from conception to delivery.  Both males and females benefit greatly from fertility acupuncture.

There are over 200 acupuncture points on the outer ear. Most of these points are named after a part of the human anatomy. The outer ear is essentially a switchboard to the brain and when acupoints on the ear are stimulated, they trigger electrical impulses to the specific area of the body that is being treated.

Chinese Medicine Theory states that there are a number of organ systems within the human body which need to interact in harmony with each other and the outside environment in order to maintain physical balance, and that loss of this harmony results in illness. It also finds that there are channels related to these organ systems running throughout the body. The insertion of needles in certain points along these energy channels help restore balance between the organ systems and bring about good health. A series of weekly treatments is normally required to allow the body to return to the harmony needed for good health. Less serious conditions will require a shorter treatment term, with longer term treatment usually needed for more chronic conditions.

In a review published in the December issue of the journal Complementary Therapies in Medicine, women receiving Chinese herbal medicine treatments were twice as likely to get pregnant within a four-month period than those receiving conventional Western medical fertility drug treatment or IVF. The findings also suggested that the quality of the menstrual cycle - a key component in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis -- appears to be crucial to the successful treatment of female infertility. Infertility is generally defined as an inability to conceive after a year or more of regular sexual activity without using conraceptives.

Acupuncture 4 Women specializes in women’s health,helping women through each stage of pregnancy, from pre-conception care and support during infertility treatments, through pregnancy and birth, to successful post natal care. Of all the available treatments for infertility, acupuncture isnt one that people usually think of first, but it’s actually one of the safest and most effective treatments for infertility known to modern science. Why does it work so well? Because infertility isnt usually a physical problem. Its often an issue related to circulation or energy channels that govern the vitality of your body’s organs (including reproductive organs). Rebalancing those bioelectric channels can create enormous healing changes in the function of your reproductive organs.

We will help you and your baby to have the best pregnancy possible Some of the women I treat are not able to get pregnant because they are not ovulating.  It turns out that acupuncture can have a powerful effect on the ovaries. Acupuncture can increase blood flow in the pelvic region improving the blood supply to the reproductive organs, improving the quality of the uterine lining and nourishing the developing follicle. Acupuncture has a normalizing effect on reproductive hormones. It reduces the effects of stress on the body and lowers stress related hormones that can impede ovulation.

Electro-Acupuncture has been found to profoundly affect the reproductive organs, through mechanisms in the sympathetic nervous system, endocrine system, and neuro-endocrine system.  When needles are inserted into certain points and stimulated in a specific manner, this produces a neurological reflex transmitted to the organ correlated with that nerve pathway.  For example, needles inserted into the leg muscles below the knee, lower back, or abdomen in specific regions cause a response which measurably affects the ovary.  In addition, the nervous system will transmit a signal to the brain, and the brain then emits a response which affects the organ from a central mechanism.  These effects have been investigated through measurements of hormones, neuropeptides, and circulatory changes on both animals and humans receiving this specific type of electro-acupuncture.
