Acupuncture and Herbal Support for Reproductive Wellness and Women’s Health
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be used as a natural approach to fertility without the use of Western medical interventions. The goal of treatment is to enhance a couple’s overall reproductive health, allowing for natural conception and pregnancy to be possible. It is preferable to treat both partners, as most fertility issues affect both males and females.
For couples undergoing Western fertility treatments, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers support on both a physical and psychological level, and treatment increases the success for many Assisted Reproductive Techniques.
We invest wholeheartedly in her patients' well-being. She works in conjunction with local fertility centers and Reproductive Endocrinologists, including Dr. Jeff Klein, Dr. Melvin Thornton, Dr. Staci Pollack, Dr. Rachel Bennett,
and Mike Berkley, L.Ac. to help treat patients undergoing ART. Many doctors have begun to recognize the effectiveness of an integrated Eastern/Western approach to their patients' fertility. Although it is not a requirement, patients planning for a future IVF cycle should ideally begin preparatory treatment with TCM three months prior to beginning their hormonal treatment.
Prevent Miscarriage
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help you maintain a healthy pregnancy. The combination can treat many of the symptoms that arise during pregnancy including nausea & vomiting, high blood pressure, fatigue, constipation, headaches & migraines, back pain, carpal tunnel, sciatica, heartburn, stress, anxiety and insomnia. Acupuncture can help strengthen the lining of the uterus, as well as the immune system, which helps to prevent miscarriage.
