A Look at Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been in practice for thousands of years, and its use has been documented as far back as 3000 years ago. The knowledge of this amazing healing art was brought to the Western world in the 1600s by Jesuit monks, and it became fairly widespread in Europe. However, it has only become truly popular in the United States since the late 1970s.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the qi (chi) of specific points which are located on pathways or meridians all over the body. The blockage of qi in these meridians can cause pain and ailments, the acupuncture stimulation can help to eliminate the blockages and free up the pathways to ensure a smooth flow of qi. There are more than 400 points on the body where the needles can be inserted, but depending on your diagnosis, only 10-15 needles are inserted in one treatment.

Relax the patient to induce parasympathetic nervous system dominance. Lessen many of the unwanted side-effects of ART treatment. Mitigate the downstream effects of IVF stimulation in the uterine environment to enhance implantation and ongoing pregnancy rates. Decrease miscarriage. Improve semen densities in male factor infertility Enhance conception in ART cycles: IUI, IVF. Promote a healthy ongoing pregnancy without complications, and a healthy post-partum period.
