Frequently Asked Questions

  • Acupuncture enhances fertility by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulating hormone levels, and reducing stress. Research published in the Journal of Endocrinology shows that acupuncture can modulate the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone, all of which play crucial roles in ovulation and menstrual cycle regulation.

  • Yes, acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a qualified practitioner. In fact, studies published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology have shown that acupuncture can help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts such as nausea, back pain, and insomnia without adverse effects on the mother or baby.

  • Yes, acupuncture has been found to be effective in reducing the severity of morning sickness. A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology demonstrated that acupuncture significantly decreased nausea and vomiting in pregnant women compared to standard care alone.

  • Acupuncture aids in post-labor recovery by reducing inflammation, promoting tissue healing, and restoring hormonal balance. Research published in the Journal of Pain Research suggests that acupuncture can effectively alleviate postpartum perineal pain and urinary incontinence, leading to improved quality of life for new mothers.

  • Yes, acupuncture has shown promise in alleviating symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Affective Disorders concluded that acupuncture is a safe and effective adjunctive therapy for improving depressive symptoms in postpartum women.

  • The number of acupuncture sessions recommended for fertility enhancement varies depending on individual circumstances. However, research published in the British Medical Journal found that women who received acupuncture alongside in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments had higher pregnancy rates compared to those who received IVF alone, suggesting that regular acupuncture sessions may be beneficial for improving fertility outcomes.

  • Acupuncture is safe during pregnancy when performed by a qualified practitioner. Some women may experience mild side effects such as temporary bruising or soreness at the needle insertion sites.

  • Yes, acupuncture has been used to encourage optimal fetal positioning and reduce the likelihood of breech presentation. A systematic review published in the Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine found that acupuncture may be effective in turning breech babies, potentially reducing the need for invasive interventions such as cesarean section.

  • Acupuncture can be initiated as soon as the mother feels comfortable after giving birth. Some women may start acupuncture sessions within days of delivery to promote healing and alleviate discomfort, while others may wait until they have recovered more fully. It's essential to listen to your body and not feel stressed to get in, we are here for you when you are ready and would love to hear from you (and the baby!).

  • Most insurances do not cover acupuncture for fertility.  Please consult your insurance company directly and ask about your out of network acupuncture benefits.  We can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement if you do have out of network acupuncture benefits, be sure to contact your insurance company directly for specific details.
