Acupuncture is a gentle and effective therapy to support your health and balance. Generally quite painless and relaxing, small needles are inserted along your energy meridians to stimulate balance and improve function.
Fertility: Acupuncture can regulate your menstrual cycle, thicken your uterine lining and support implantation. For those going through assisted reproductive therapies such as IUI or IVF, it has been proven to increase success rates and pregnancy rates.
Pregnancy and Birth: Many common concerns such as nausea, sciatic or pelvic pain, swelling, and insomnia can be alleviated with a few acupuncture sessions. It is also a great option in the final weeks of your pregnancy to prepare your body for labour, to reduce the need for medical induction or interventions such as epidural, forceps, vaccum or emergency Caesarean births.
Postpartum: There are so many benefits to getting the support of acupuncture after baby is born. Acupuncture can aid in the recovery process, support milk production and hormone balance. Treatments can also address depression and anxiety, fatigue and afterpains.
Beyond: In our every day lives, acupuncture can be very effective at reducing stress, back and joint pain, headache relief, enhancing mental clarity, improving the immune response, increasing energy, better sleep, relief from allergies and improving healing after medical procedures (to name a few!).
In the peri-menopausal period, acupuncture helps restore the body’s natural balance by acting on the endocrine systems (and the hormones within those systems) as well as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, thereby easing hot flashes, night sweeats, stress and insomnia, as well as certain disorders relating to mood and digestion.
