ACUPUNCTURE & IVF
60%+

higher IVF success rates in clinical research when acupuncture is used in conjunction with treatment.

Acupuncture relaxes the uterus and uterine contractions after embryo transfer, and increases blood flow to the ovaries during the stimulatory process, working in correlation with the drugs used by your reproductive endocrinologist.

Eric works in conjunction with some of the best medical doctors in the area and will time sessions around your retrieval and transfer.

COMMON FERTILITY ISSUES

How acupuncture and Oriental Medicine can help

Acupuncture works by rebalancing the cycle, reducing stress to improve ovarian response, increasing egg quality, and improving blood flow to the uterus and reproductive organs.

Irregular menstruation

Acupuncture and herbal formulas regulate hormones and balance the body to restore a normal cycle, allowing for better accuracy of the ovulatory window.

Endometriosis

This condition can cause pain and irregular periods, with a major impact on conceiving. Herbal medicine paired with acupuncture resolves clotting, reduces blockages and inflammation, and decreases pain.

PCOS

A common condition marked by infrequent or prolonged cycles. Most women with PCOS are not ovulating; acupuncture and herbal formulas rebalance hormone levels to restore menstruation and promote the ovulatory phase.

Uterine fibroids

These noncancerous growths can affect the ability to conceive. Acupuncture and formulas aid in shrinking fibroids and restoring normal menses, western intervention is referred when masses are too large.

Other causes

Hormone imbalance from stress, ovarian cysts, male factor issues, elevated FSH, decreased ovarian response, egg quality, increasing maternal age, and unexplained infertility.
