The stress, the hormonal changes, the treatments… the path to conceive can be deeply emotional and physically demanding. Acupuncture offers a natural, safe and effective therapy for those facing infertility challenges and discomfort. If you’re hoping to minimize medications, our acupuncture treatments are a great place to start.
Studies have shown women with high stress levels are up to 93% less likely to conceive. Acupuncture can help soothe the nervous system by releasing endorphins, reversing the effects of stress and regulating hormones. Acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine modalities offer other benefits to people undergoing fertility-related challenges, including:
Research shows acupuncture can increase the efficacy of IVF procedures by up to 45%.
Our team will work alongside your reproductive endocrinologist, supporting your doctor’s efforts and protocol. A combination of acupuncture and/or herbal medicine can effectively complement your treatment and boost your chances of success:
Before: With a series of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments before your ART procedures, you can improve your overall health and regulate your nervous, endocrine and reproductive systems.
During: Acupuncture reduces medication side effects, from mood swings to indigestion. It also helps to increase blood flow to your uterus, thickening the endometrial lining and preparing it for implantation.
After: We can provide acupuncture before and after your transfer, which will increase your chances of pregnancy by reducing stress, relaxing the uterus and reducing cramping.
We recommend a minimum of nine weeks of consistent acupuncture treatment while following our lifestyle recommendations.
