FERTILITY TREATMENT
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 13.1% of women in the US experience fertility problems. A common misconception is that fertility issues are primarily caused by the female; however, 30% of infertility cases in the US are due to male fertility factors.
Study shows that Acupuncture for fertility has proven multiple times as an effective and safe modality for helping couples increase their chances of getting pregnant naturally by placing the needles along the acupuncture points relating to the reproductive organs and the nervous system.
Acupuncture has shown to improve the blood flow to the ovaries by inhibiting activity in the sympathetic nervous system which is triggered by stress. Acupuncture can also improve the thickness of the endometrial lining (lining of the uterus) to assist with implantation by increasing blood flow to the area.
