How Acupuncture Works
For thousands of years, acupuncture has been a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, used to regulate the female reproductive system and support fertility. This ancient technique involves the use of ultra-thin, surgically sterilized needles (as fine as a hair) placed along specific energy pathways in the body. Acupuncture influences both the central and peripheral nervous systems, stimulating the brain to release endorphins that help reduce stress and balance hormone levels.
We recommend weekly acupuncture treatments to support each phase of your menstrual cycle, treating your body holistically to optimize it for conception. Acupuncture performed for 12-16 weeks prior to conception has been shown to significantly enhance fertility. Since it takes approximately 3 months for an egg to mature, this window allows us to balance hormones, improve egg quality, and nourish the uterine lining in preparation for pregnancy.
How Acupuncture Can Support Fertility
Balance Hormones:
Acupuncture and herbal medicine work together to correct hormonal imbalances, regulate your menstrual cycle, and restore equilibrium between physical and emotional health.
Promote Circulation:
By enhancing blood flow to the uterus, acupuncture supports healthy ovarian follicles, reduces inflammation, boosts embryo implantation, and strengthens the uterine lining.
Support IVF & ART:
Acupuncture can complement IVF and ART treatments by working alongside your Reproductive Endocrinologist or OB/GYN to ensure you receive the most integrative and effective care.
Male Factor Fertility:
Fertility is a shared journey for both partners. New sperm is created every 72 days, so lifestyle changes paired with weekly acupuncture treatments can significantly improve sperm health.
