Improved Fertility Success with Acupuncture

New studies are concluding that acupuncture does improve clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates for women receiving IVF (in vitro fertilization). In another recent study published in the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, it was concluded that acupuncture helps to prevent egg implantaton failure.

There is plenty of research out there to support acupuncture’s ability to improve fertility but articles fail to mention acupuncture also helps with all the stress and anxiety that forms around trying to conceive. If you are struggling to conceive and are overwhelmed you should consider coming in for a consult. Not only can acupuncture help with any issues your may be experiencing during your cycle but it can help you return to a calm state. Studies show too much anxiety and stress effects the hypothalamus which in turn can prevent pregnancy. In addition, it is really important to have your partner be treated as well.
