Infertility
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been used for centuries to successfully address the sensitive complexities of infertility by restoring balance and creating an environment in which new life can flourish. Any difficulty in conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy is evidence of an imbalance that needs to be addressed and is often accompanied by other symptoms that may seem completely unrelated to infertility.
Since our goal as Chinese medicine practitioners is not only to enable pregnancy, but to create an ideal environment to produce a new life, we seek to establish a complete health profile. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of each individual from a holistic perspective, it is possible to successfully treat infertility and improve one's overall health.
Although acupuncture is based on ancient medical theory, a modern and scientific neuroendocrine perspective has also begun to confirm its efficacy. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can enhance fertility in a number of ways:
- Regulating the menstrual cycle
- Regulating hormone levels
- Increasing blood flow to the uterus
- Improving the function of the ovaries
- Improving sperm numbers, quality and motility
- Increasing libido
- Reversing ejaculatory defects and erectile dysfunction
- Treating blocked fallopian tubes
- Enhancing response to IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures
- Relaxing the patient and alleviating stress
- Preventing miscarriage
