OB/GYN & Oriental Medicine
FERTILITY Infertility affects almost one in five couples in the United States today. Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to enhance both female and male fertility. Modern research has confirmed that Oriental Medicine benefits the following:
Oriental Medicine can benefit both the health of the mother and the baby during pregnancy. It helps to prevent complications and can enhance the development of the fetus organs. It can help to decrease maternal toxins which helps in the preventative treatment of childhood illness after the baby is born. Additionally, oriental medicine is very successful in reducing habitual miscarriages, morning sickness, fatigue, migraines/ headaches, heartburn, hemorrhoids, edema, back pain, sciatica, stress and emotional issues for the mother during the pregnancy. In Childbirth acupuncture can optimize labor conditions. This is a safe way to naturally induce labor (when the woman is in at least the 39th week of pregnancy), assist in pain relief, boost energy and support a smooth, healthy childbirth. It also reduces the risk of unnecessary interventions and emergency Cesarean births. We offer packages for each trimester. When set up in advance, we offer the service of going on site to your home or hospital to give you treatments of acupuncture and/or acutonics, and assist in any or all of your stages of labor and birth.

During the postpartum period it is crucial for the mother to have support in her recovery, and acupuncture and chinese herbs can do that. In addition to accelerating the healing process after a vaginal birth or cesarean birth, chinese medicine can help to restore the mother's energy levels and increase her milk supply. It can also be used to prevent postpartum depression and regulate the menstrual cycle. It is recommended to receive weekly treatments for at least 3 - 6 months after childbirth. This can support the body to recuperate from the pregnancy and birth as well as give back nourishment to the body that is spent on caring for your new baby. We offer a postpartum package that includes 4 once a week home visits during the first month after birth, and then once a week one hour treatments in the spa for the following 2 months after. ARE ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBS SAFE IN PREGNANCY? There are specific herbs and acupuncture points that are contraindicated during pregnancy. But when using the right herbs and acupuncture points the results are beneficial for both mother and baby and are very safe. Our licensed acupuncturists are well trained in chinese medicine in the treatment of pregnancy. WHAT TO EXPECT IN A TREATMENT: The first treatment lasts 60-90 minutes to allow for time to consult and diagnose, in addition to the treatment. The following treatments typically last one hour. We use singleuse sterile needles in our acupuncture clinic. Needles are gently inserted into specific acupuncture points, and they are left in for 20-45min while you rest. Beds are positioned to properly support a pregnancy. We recommend wearing loose comfortable clothing and to have eaten at least one hour ahead of time. Please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment with your paperwork completed. We offer Pediatric Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture Facial Renewal, as well as Acupuncture and Herbal Consults for preventive care and a variety of conditions including stress, pain, illness, depression, fatigue, and more.
