Pregnancy

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been used for over 2000 years during pregnancy to help ease many of the uncomfortable symptoms that women often experience. It is safe, effective and time-tested. It has been shown to treat:

• Threatened/habitual miscarriage
• Morning sickness/nausea/heartburn/constipation/diarrhea/hemorrhoids
• Insomnia and fatigue
• Dizziness
• Pain—Back ache/sciatica /pelvic girdle pain/leg cramps
• Depression/anxiety (A Stanford study showed that acupuncture holds promise for the treatment of depression during pregnancy).
• Anemia
• Hypertension/ Preeclampsia
• Colds/Flu
• Breech presentation
• Labor

Acupuncture can help to reduce anxiety during these first few weeks of pregnancy. Many women that have gone through infertility and are now pregnant or those that have had prior miscarriages are very nervous and tentative in the beginning. Clinical trials have shown that regular monitoring and reassurance can actually reduce miscarriage rates.
