Acupuncturists can work closely with gynecologists and reproductive endocrinologists to promote the benefits of integrating acupuncture with medical interventions such as Clomid, IUI and IVF cycles. We currently provide specialised fertility acupuncture services for women undergoing ART at fertility clinics. Acupuncture treatment before and after embryo transfers is recommended in the clinic.

The essence of the fertility wellness program however, is to take a closer look at the body from a holistic perspective and correct any and all imbalances that may be contributing to fertility problems. It is our strong belief that all women and men should strive for optimal health when planning to begin a family. The reproductive system works much like a concert symphony – a masterpiece is created only if all the players are giving their best. Women may have clues that their periods are not healthy; they may have lots of PMS symptoms or pain, heavy bleeding or irregular cycles. The first goal of the fertility wellness program is to understand how each individual interplays with life, emotions and environment and then work to create an optimal fertile environment. We can use the tools within the fertility wellness program to attain better balance. These are:

• Acupuncture
• Relaxation and stress reduction
• Diet advice
• Massage  
• Lifestyle modifications to promote better health in general
• Chinese herbal and Western Nutrients 
• Complimentary care for Assisted Reproductive Therapy procedures

Why Use Acupuncture for Infertility?

Acupuncture offers a natural approach to treating infertility by focusing on enhancing the quality of eggs, sperm, endometrial lining and cervical fluid. Sometimes this is enough for couples to conceive on their own and it is a very important step for couples who are about to undergo the expense and physical demands of IVF. Acupuncture can also support patients during In Vitro Fertilisation, Artificial Insemination, and Hormonal Therapy cycles. Multiple studies have shown and most doctors agree that acupuncture increases the success rate of these intense procedures and also helps to alleviate the uncomfortable side effects. Acupuncture is a low-cost, noninvasive, and non-side-effect producing compliment to the western health care a woman seeking pregnancy needs.
