fertility

Acupuncture and TCM provide a safe, effective, drug free, holistic approach to treating infertility and fertility enhancement.  

An acupuncturist does not just treat symptoms and signs, but instead activates the bodies natural healing potential by treating the root causes that have lead to the the individuals problem or disease.
 

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed these studies and concluded that acupuncture helps to:

• Increases blood flow to the uterus, which improves the chances of implantation on the uterine wall
• Reduces anxiety, stress, and balances hormonal chances that are secreted during stressful situations that can significantly decrease fertility
• Normalize hormonal changes and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation, especially in woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a key role in fertility
• Regulate the menstrual cycle allowing for better knowledge and chances of conceiving. 

There are many reasons why women may have problems conceiving.
Stress from our daily lives, physical ailments such as PCOS, endometriosis, Amenorrhoea (no period), Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), or even Tubal blockages.  The list goes on and on.

When acupuncture needles are placed correctly, it can affect the nervous system.  These positive affects on the nervous system increase blood flow to the uterus and allowing it to relax which improves the successful implantation of an embryo into the uterine lining.  This is one of the many reasons why acupuncture can increase the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments by 60%!

When Qi, or vital energy, and blood are circulating freely though-out the body, every cell, tissue and organ is properly nourished and in turn functioning well.  By helping women to achieve this optimal functioning both a woman's health and fertility are increased.

Acupuncture can be used either by itself or in conjunction with western therapies and treatments to increase the chances of conception.
