How does acupuncture improve fertility?
One common question I often encounter as an acupuncturist specializing in fertility is how acupuncture can enhance fertility. The explanation, at its core, resides in basic biomedical and physiological knowledge, and it is less complex than it may seem. Acupuncture entails the insertion of thin needles that stimulate the body’s inherent “repair response.” This response prompts increased blood flow, ushering repair cells, nutrients, and vitality back to the uterus and ovaries. While infertility can stem from diagnosed conditions, such as PCOS, Endometriosis, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Amenorrhea, recurrent miscarriages, as well as low FSH and AMH levels, it can also result from structural issues and muscular tension that restrict blood flow to the uterine cavity. In such cases, my approaches of choice involve acupuncture, fire cupping, and Gua sha, as they effectively address physical blockages and disperse stagnation, including scar tissue!
Why partner with me?
My approach to fertility is largely based on the patient’s medical history, but I also take into account diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical supplementation. I delve into each case, combing through any areas that have not been uncovered. It can be a commitment to go through the fertility process, but it’s one that I am willing to make through thick and thin with my patients. I believe aside from the biomedical side of fertility, there’s also a deep, emotional component to the process that is missing on the western medical side of treatments. A big part of going through infertility is having an advocate who can see both sides of the coin from the medical to the mind, body and soul.
