Acupuncture for Fertility

What is Fertility Acupuncture?
Customized treatments are designed to optimize reproductive health, help bring your body into balance, and to prepare you for a healthy conception, pregnancy and post partum.
We know each woman’s situation is unique – so in addition to boosting fertility, we also work with the “root issues” that may be factors affecting your reproductive health. In addition to the fertility focus, we always look at the whole picture – including your menstrual health, digestion, sleep, emotional health and more.

How does Acupuncture help Fertility?
There are many theories as to how acupuncture works to benefit reproductive health for both women and men. It has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine, and is now more readily accepted by both parents to be and by their physicians.
Boosting Circulation to the Reproductive System
Acupuncture points are chosen for their ability to increase healthy flow of blood and energy to the uterus and ovaries.
Helping to Harmonize Cycles in the Body
By helping to regulate the endocrine communication in the body; hormonal and menstrual systems return to a healthier balance.
Improve Ovarian and Uterine Health
Acupuncture treatments can help boost overall health, but in particular can focus on improving ovarian function. Treatments may also help increase the thickness of uterine lining, benefitting a healthy implantation.
Reduce Effects of Stress on the Body
Stress is now being linked as a contributing factor in many cases of subfertility. Acupuncture has been shown to naturally help increase the release of endorphins (our “happy hormones”), while also helping to reduce the over-production of cortisol (one of the “stress” hormones). Acupuncture treatments are a relaxing, restful time for your body and mind to regenerate.
