Acupuncture can significantly boost fertility rates among IVF patients

02.07.2015


It is believed that each individual has the ability to heal what ails them given the right tools and information. For women who are trying to become pregnant, the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture may help increase their chance of success.  

There are at least three clinical studies demonstrating higher pregnancy rates in in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients when combined with acupuncture.  Specifically, acupuncture is known to regulate reproductive hormones and provide women with more regular ovulation putting their monthly cycle on a more consistent track. Acupuncture also increases blood flow to the pelvic region providing nutrition and reproductive hormones.

Practiced by naturopathic doctors, acupuncture uses very fine needles inserted into key body points to assist in regulating the nervous system, increasing blood flow, and facilitating equilibrium in the body. This can be especially important in women who are trying to conceive a baby.

Nowadays acupuncture is part of a larger fertility service offered by many fertility clinics throughout the world. Other fertility services include diagnostic testing, assessment of nutrient imbalances as well as natural approaches to rebalance hormones. Becoming pregnant and having a baby is a miracle, and one that needs to be treated with care and respect. At reproductive centers, they take fertility extremely seriously. In a warm and inviting atmosphere, couples learn how to proactively get ready for parenthood.  Programs are available for pre-conception, pregnancy and after delivery.
