Fertility, pregnancy, and Menstrual issues
Hundreds of women and couples have turned to us when faced with fertility issues. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine have proven to be very effective in helping many overcome obstacles to successful conception, pregnancy and childbirth. Our services are often used in conjunction with IUI, IVF, and other assisted reproductive treatments. Many reproductive physicians and and large fertility centers refer their patients to us to optimize their patients’ chances for pregnancy. We also use these modalities for women and couples who wish to forgo drug therapies to help foster natural fertility and conception, prevent miscarriage, treat common problems of pregnancy and childbirth and help the female relax and feel confident in their natural baby-making process. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments work by stimulating the Yin and Yang productive cycles to promote richer blood flow, higher quality eggs, and more regular menstrual vitality clearly marked by hormone surges at peak ovulatory phase.
These are the fertility benefits from Acupuncture and TCM:
regulating menstruation and ovulation
promoting balanced hormone secretion
increasing the quality and quantity of eggs
increasing blood flow to the uterus to create a well-nourished uterine lining
regulating hormone output after conception and implantation to prevent miscarriage
alleviating common symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, hypertension, sciatica and other common problems
Helping correct malposition of fetus (breech or transverse) and helping to avoid Cesarean surgery
Promoting a safe, natural and rewarding childbirth experience
Women are not alone when it comes to needing fertility support with acupuncture. We often treat men to improve sperm quality, quantity and motility simultaneously with their female partners’ treatments. In this way acupuncture joins the Yin and Yang of the couple and promotes optimal intimacy and fertility. We'll be happy to discuss how acupuncture can help with fertility, infertility or childbirth.

“In late November I became pregnant!! I had been trying to get pregnant for just about a year and during that year I experienced a miscarriage around 2 months. After trying for almost a year I became concerned, so I started seeing a fertility specialist. I saw a total of two — both said my chances of conceiving on my own were less than 15%. I remember being just devastated and wasn’t sure if I should try what they recommended (IVF), mostly due to the cost they predicted. It would have taken two to three times, which would have been over $25,000. I started my own research and found some great information on Acupuncture. So I gave it a try. I started in September going three times a week, then in early November I went down to 2 visits and I’m happy to share with you I became pregnant sometime in late November! My pregnancy was problem-free and I’m just one week from my due date. Acupuncture was really great for me. It made me feel relaxed (loved the music in the room) and it didn’t hurt at all. I so enjoyed working with Peter and I’m so grateful to him in helping me become pregnant!!!!”
