How Acupuncture Works

Throughout thousands of years of experience, traditional Chinese medicine has created a map of the physical body that features pathways called meridians through which oxygen and blood flow to nourish the organs. Think of this as a road map to your health – when flow is interrupted (much like a traffic jam) symptoms occur.  The meridian pathways have distinct points for healing that are stimulated by an acupuncture needle. Our brain acts in response to the needle as a stimulation and our nervous system responds with a healing reaction. Studies demonstrate that acupuncture boosts blood cell counts, serotonin & endorphin levels – our body’s own natural painrelieving and healing chemicals. Studies also indicate that chemicals affiliated with immune system function stay elevated for days after acupuncture. The enhanced circulation of blood and ones body’s natural healing responses lessens inflammation, relieve stress, and improves one’s health.

In Vitro Fertilization is a great choice for those who have a medical situation hindering them from getting pregnant. IVF often has great results, but a patient must expect that much effort must be invested into the process. Many women find that IVF is a stressful period in their life and can be taxing on the female body. Acupuncture Therapy is intendeded to assist a woman relax more and concentrate on the body’s health. IVF can also be costly, so the concept is to become pregnant as quickly as possible. Or, in other words do fewer IVF cycles. The recommended means to accomplish your objective is to enhance your efforts with acupuncture and additional factors that bolsters the results of IVF. This may incorporate life factors such as your comprehensive diet, exercise, supplementation, medication & general health. According to studies, acupuncture is the only therapy proven to improve live birth outcomes from IVF.
Achieving Success with your IVF Cycle
Acupuncture patients consistently experience the advantage of increased quantity, and better quality ova. Improving circulation with acupuncture enhances the muscle tone and function of the uterus and ovaries. Acupuncture boosts the Nitric Oxide levels in treated areas and as a result enhances local circulation. Why is it important to increase Nitric Oxide? In a published research study, Nitric Oxide appears to slow down the hardening of the ova’s outer shells, increase the release of molecules that prevent improper fertilization, and fight other signs of aging that could interfere with fertilization. In addition, acupuncture functions to relax the nervous system, decreasing stress and anxiety. This is particularly crucial in the course of an IVF cycle to enhance results. All of the factors pointed out are the result of acupuncture combined with assisted reproductive therapy that benefit women in increasing their chances of becoming pregnant.
IUI
IUI treatment is a first choice for many couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant but do not yet need to try IVF. Published studies reveal that acupuncture significantly increases success with IUI. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. This fertility treatment can be done with or without medication. Acupuncture benefits this process by improving egg quality and readying the uterus for implantation.

Because there are so many considerations involved, the conditions must be just right for conception.
Fertility = Healthy Hormones

Age
Getting close to 40 and TTC? It’s common knowledge and simple science that the chances of conception decrease with advancing age. The good news is acupuncture improves your fertility and in combination with supplements and dietary advice, you can make your reproductive system ‘act younger ‘ than your physical age. Have you ever met someone and thought they were much younger or were older than their actual age? That is because every person has their physical age & their biological age. Your body can respond in ways that a much younger person’s would respond when it is cared for properly. And on the other hand, many people see rapid biological aging when they have unhealthy habits like smoking or lack of exercise. You might as well do everything you can to enhance your pregnancy attempts . Diet, exercise, acupuncture & healthy weight will increase your chances and decrease your attempts.

Acupuncture Can Also Help Children

  • Children Benefit From Natural Medicine
  • Stimulate Immune System Without Drugs
  • Emotional & Behavior Issues Can Be Treated
Treatments For: Insomnia, Nightmares, Anxiety, Asthma, Allergies, Ear Infections, Bedwetting, Behavioral Issues, Constipation, Low Appetite. Children have fragile immune systems. Their immune systems are not fully developed such as an adult’s which leads to more frequent illness. As a parent, you recognize a healthy child is a happy one. Children who are chronically ill are more likely to misbehave, sleep poorly & make life harder for their parents. Rather than continually giving them a drug to mask symptoms, natural medicine can be the answer to strengthen the immune system and heal the root of the problem. Emotional sensitivity in children often leads to behavioral issues. It’s not uncommon to see children who are afraid of the dark, feel overwhelmed in social situations or have anxiety & frustration related to school. Lack of sleep, insomnia & nightmares often lead to a depressed immune system and behavior problems in children. For emotional & sleep issues, nothing works better than pediatric acupuncture to calm the nervous system. The therapy will help to refocus their attention and energy and help them deal with stress. This is why acupuncture can also benefit children suffering from ADD or ADHD. Kids experience different recurring health problems including: bedwetting, constipation, chronic ear infections, asthma, allergies (food & environmental), and headaches. Many parents would like to not have to give their children prescription drugs. Acupuncture is the safe and natural alternative way to treat a developing system without the use of chemicals and other synthetic substances. Parents often ask, “What will their treatment be like?” Don’t worry! They don’t have to lay still with needles in them like an adult treatment. We often begin with acupressure and make the session like a relaxed play time so they do not fear coming in for treatments. Children respond quickly to treatments and often need less sessions than adults. Kids are involved with their treatments and leave feeling relaxed and happy.
