Acupuncture

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a therapeutic specialty of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) used to treat illness, prevent disease, and improve well-being by stimulating specific trigger points throughout the body using special acupuncture needles.

Acupuncture for Infertility

Acupuncture promotes circulation of blood and energy throughout your body, including reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, testicles), which is important for conception.

If you are experiencing ovulatory pain, endometriosis, blocked tubes, fibroids, clotting in the menstrual blood, headaches associated with your cycle, high FSH levels, or suboptimal sperm analysis, acupuncture can help alleviate internal blockages to return your body to optimal reproductive functioning.

Is Acupuncture Painful?

New patients commonly express anxiety and fear of needles before their first treatment. Many patients are surprised by the pleasantness of acupuncture treatment. Unlike needles used for injections, acupuncture needles are very thin. There is minimal or no discomfort during needle insertion. Some patients even describe pleasant sensations including euphoria, warmth, and tingling.

Effective Complementary Therapy

Acupuncture is gaining acceptance in the U.S. as an effective complement to western medicine in the treatment of infertility. Research on acupuncture and its effect on fertility is so compelling that many Reproductive Medicine Practitioners are incorporating it as a standard component of IVF protocols.

We treat a wide range of reproductive health conditions including infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, menstrual problems and many other disorders. We also offer therapies for enhancing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatment protocols.
