All About Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture has an established role in alleviating signs and symptoms associated with many health conditions. For fertility, the goal is to restore balance and harmony to your body in preparation for a healthy conception; supporting the effectiveness of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI) or artificial insemination (ART); minimising complications associated with conceiving and pregnancy.
Acupuncture for hormonal imbalances
Hormonal imbalances may present with a wide range of signs and symptoms: irregular periods; moodiness; cyclical acne; unexplained weight gain; premenstrual syndrome (PMS); migraine; difficulty conceiving and the want and need for pre-conception care.
Acupuncture for male fertility
Preconception care is just as important for men as it is for women; often men present because of low sperm mobility and motility.
Acupuncture for IVF support
Evidence suggests that acupuncture has a role in supporting the effectiveness of IVF, as part of a multi-disciplinary approach to fertility.
Acupuncture for stress and emotional imbalances
Acupuncture can help support the nervous system and improve emotional imbalances. These are often expressed via sleeplessness, anxiety, excessive worry, sadness, anger and sometimes panic.
Acupuncture for metabolic disorders
Often driven by genetics and increasingly by lifestyle, metabolic disorders often get in the way of conception or complicate an established pregnancy. Associated signs and symptoms are not limited to but may include lethargy; weight gain or loss; abnormal sweat or breath; pain etc.
Acupuncture for autoimmune disease treatment
Autoimmune conditions may have associated signs and symptoms that can complicate a non-eventful pregnancy; such as rashes, weight gain or loss, joint pain, muscle pain and digestive disturbances etc.
Acupuncture for complications throughout a pregnancy
Acupuncture can support & improve symptoms of morning sickness; hyperemesis gravidarum; reflux; cramping; sciatica; sleep disturbance etc.
