Improve your IVF outcomes with Acupuncture!
Many couples seek out help to improve their fertility and start a family. Whether a woman is not ovulating or a male’s sperm quality/quantity is not ideal, these couples are not alone. About 1 out of 4 couples have difficulty conceiving and our goal is to assist as many of those as we can in their fertility journey.
What is Neuropuncture?
It is a 21st century evidenced based acupuncture system that is geared to neuro-modulate, neuro-regulate and rehabilitate a patient’s nervous system back into health. We combine the time tested knowledge of traditional acupuncture and Chinese medicine with the latest research in medical and electrical sciences for optimal results.
With that being said, how can acupuncture (or better yet Neuropuncture) help improve IVF outcomes?
Research from Cornell Medical Center has concluded that acupuncture helps by:
- Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs. This is key because when there is better blood flow to the uterus and ovaries we have a greater delivery of nutrients to those organs and possibly a better response to medications given during IVF treatment.
- b. Acupuncture also reduces stress and anxiety levels. Having difficulty creating a family is stressful enough and adding daily stressors to the mix can make things even more challenging. Neuropuncture helps the body release our endogenous opioids which not only reduce pain but also helps patients “feel good and relaxed” after a treatment. These natural opioids stimulate deeper parts of the brain and help us get into a state of relaxation.
It is important to note that not all acupuncturists are created equal. Seek out a qualified licensed acupuncturists in order to receive a safe an effective acupuncture treatment.
