Acupuncture Treatment and Infertility

Video Introduction:

One in six couples have trouble getting pregnant. Modern medical treatments such as in-vitro fertilization can help increase fertility rates by up to 50%. To improve fertility success rates, the latest national trend is to incorporate acupuncture treatment along with in-vitro fertilization. A recent German study shows that acupuncture combined with in-vitro fertilization helped increased pregnancy rates an additional 60%.

Doctors say that acupuncture helps improve fertility by increasing blood flow to the uterus. Researchers also noted that acupuncture treatment can help male fertility by increasing sperm count and sperm motility. Acupuncture has been used for nearly 2,000 years to treat infertility but is only recently being discovered in the west.

Our Summary and Additional Comments:

When treating for fertility, a fundamental goal of ours is to make sure the vitality of the mother is strong enough to support a smooth and healthy pregnancy. From this standpoint we look at diet, exercise, sleep, lifestyle, stress and many other factors that must be addressed to help a woman become fertile and prepare for a new life in her womb.

So while it’s encouraging to see that researchers are discovering the power of acupuncture in the treatment of infertility, the scope of our treatment goes way beyond just increasing blood flow to the uterus. Our goal is a healthy mom and a well nourished fetus being born into a healthy household.
