Acupuncture Treatments

Inserting small hair thin needles, in certain body sites have long been known to improve several symptoms of many diseases. Acupuncture is a mainstay of therapy in most far eastern countries. Only recently, Western scientists and physicians have begun to examine the many benefits of acupuncture therapy.

Controlled clinical trials are documenting the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating many diseases including infertility. For example, acupuncture can increase vital blood flow to the uterus. Some of the benefits of acupuncture are listed below:

• Increased levels of endorphins which regulate ovulation
• Decrease testosterone levels with improved ovulation and weight control in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).
• 40% increase in pregnancy rate when used before and after the transfer of embryo in women who undergo In vitro fertilization (IVF).
• Improved implantation of the embryo
• Decreased stress and anxiety
• Decreased symptoms of migraine headaches.
