Infertility How does acupuncture work?
The ancient Chinese felt
that diseases arise from imbalance and deficiency of energy. Infertility may be due in part to imbalance of the energy in different energy pathways and organs. By enhancing energy flow to the different
organs (including the reproductive organs) and channels and balancing the yin and yang, acupuncture can improve the energy level and balance of the entire body and specifically the reproductive system. By
improving circulation it makes tissue healthier. The improved blood flow provides more nutrients to the uterus and carries away more waste products creating a healthier environment.Our experience
shows that after a series of acupuncture sessions, the uterine lining will typically thicken upon ultrasound examination. This phenomenon suggests that the entire reproductive system is better prepared for
pregnancy. After a series of acupuncture treatments, many patients report that they feel more relaxed with better energy. About the treatmentsOn the average, 6 to 8 sessions are recommended. Two acupuncture
treatments are provided per week during the month before the infertility procedure. Lying on a recliner, very thin needles are inserted into your acupuncture points where they will remain for 45 minutes. Bring
your own soothing music and relax during the entire session. Preparation
