Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum

Women’s Fertility
Acupuncture serves as both an alternative and complementary approach to medical interventions like intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles.
​
It aids in enhancing blood flow to the uterus, promoting a healthy lining, while also contributing to improved egg quality and hormonal balance in women, including progesterone, estrogen, HCG, FSH, AMH, and LH levels.
​
Acupuncture effectively mitigates stress associated with the fertility journey, offering support during an emotionally challenging period where individuals often feel a loss of control over their bodies and minds.
Acupuncture addresses male fertility concerns by improving both sperm quality including motility and morphology, and quantity. By integrating acupuncture with supplements and lifestyle adjustments, it positively impacts men's sperm health.
