Acupuncture treatment for fertility is becoming widely used, either as a stand-alone treatment, or integrated with in-vitro fertilization procedures.  Depending upon the patient's symptoms, your practitioner will determine a pattern of disease and treat the infertility accordingly. Usually herbal medicinal therapy is prescribed before and during the pregnancy to assist in carrying the pregnancy to full-term.

Male Fertility

Men may also encounter infertility problems, possibly due physical and emotional stress, or lack of nutrients.   These conditions can result in a low sperm count, poor quality or mobility of the sperm.  Depending upon the patient's symptoms, your practitioner will determine a pattern of disease and treat accordingly with acupuncture, nutrition, exercise and Chinese herbal formulas.

Pregnancy Care

During pregnancy acupuncture can be used to greatly reduce morning sickness, edema, urinary problems, risk of miscarriage and associated maladies.  In the same way, post-natal disorders, such as depression, water retention, constipation, hemorrhoids, breast pain and extreme fatigue can also be treated.   Acupuncture techniques, along with nutritional and herbal therapy, will support the body by balancing and circulating Blood and Qi.
