Pregnancy
We also work with pregnancy related issues such as: nausea and vomiting, back pain, sciatica, breech birth position, swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, recurrent miscarriage, and labor induction. Acupuncture and herbal supplements can be great complements or alternatives to what you are already doing to manage your condition. Treatment usually includes acupuncture, herbal remedies, cupping, massage, and electrical stimulation.
Fertility
Patients seeking treatment for fertility should plan on coming in for treatment once per week for at least 3-6 months; treatment is not necessary while on your period though if you have symptoms associated with menstruation, you may continue treatment if desired. Herbal formulas and supplements are almost always recommended as they support treatment by: removing unwanted hormones from the body and restoring receptor site sensitivity, increasing blood flow to the uterus, and correcting the ovarian-pituitary feedback loop dysfunction that can be caused by long-term birth control use. We encourage patients to chart their basal body temperature (BBT) and cervical fluid changed throughout their cycle. We also encourage male partners to receive treatment as sperm motility, quality, and count are all important components of conception that can be addressed with acupuncture and supplements.
