ABOUT FERTILITY AND PREGNANCY ACUPUNCTURE

 

Registered with the British Acupuncture Council and memberships that include the Royal Society of Medicine and British Fertility Society, London and Kent Acupuncture and its team are considered highly qualified womens health acupuncture specialists treating many health issues and have expertise in fertility and pregnancy.

 

More and more couples are wanting a more natural approach to fertility, and they can get this through acupuncture. There have been quite a few studies to show acupuncture increases chances of pregnancy with assisted reproductive treatments. That is not all, there are also studies that show that acupuncture can help jump start ovulation, boost chances for successful embryo transfers and improve the quality of eggs. There is growing evidence that acupuncture can greatly increase a couples chance of becoming pregnant naturally as well as improving the success of IVF treatment as a whole.

 

At London and Kent Acupuncture, we use acupuncture for the treatment of womens health as well as Infertility and pregnancy, by integrating the theories from both biomedical and traditional Chinese medicine of which has seen many successful outcomes for women who have painful and irregular periods or who need help with managing symptoms of menopause as well as those trying to conceive.

 

The British Medical Journal published a review in 2008 outlining the affects of acupuncture during fertility treatment and found that genuine acupuncture had increased women's chances of pregnancy by 65%.

 

Acupuncture for pain relief during labour has also become more popular for mothers to be, as the need for a holistic and natural childbirth increases that is drug free with no side affects.

Acupuncture is amazingly valuable for pregnancies gone beyond their due date as it helps induce a natural labour. It can be common medical practice for a woman past her due date to be given either a cesarean section or being induced with the drug pitocin. Neither of these are desirable options for any mother to be, as they present more risks and side-effects. Pitocin forces the body into labour whether it is ready or not.

 

Acupuncture is a great alternative. It is safe and encourages the body to go into a natural labour. Acupuncture points that are deliberately avoided during the 9 months of pregnancy, are used freely to encourage uterine contraction and thus labour. Acupuncture for labour induction can also help calm and reduce anxiety to facilitate a healthy delivery.

 

At London and Kent Acupuncture, we have experience both in biomedicine and Traditional Chinese medicine in the field of reproductive medicine.
