Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a whole system of medicine that is thousands of years old, acupuncture is but one modality we utilize within TCM.  Fertility and women’s health has been a special focus for generations of practitioners and as a result of this long lineage there are very advanced medicinal therapeutics for women’s health and fertility. In fact, with TCM’s complex pattern diagnosis, we can effectively treat many things that are often difficult to respond to in a western medical setting.  

Acupuncture has been shown to enhance fertility by balancing hormonal cycles, improving ovarian function, improving blood flow to ovaries and uterus and enhancing immune function.  In addition, acupuncture can also help reduce chances of miscarriage and increase sperm and egg quality overall. 

While acupuncture is a very important part of treatment planning, when patients come to their first acupuncture appointment they are often surprised by how much more a Chinese medicine practitioner has to offer.  For example, oftentimes nutritional recommendations will be made alongside incorporating specific supplements and lifestyle additions.  

In the first treatment we delve into a detailed medical history, with special attention devoted to your cycles and reproductive health.  From there we develop a personalized treatment plan that will correspond with the different phases of your cycle to create a way forward that is individualized to your particular situation.
