Infertility

At Acumed Acupuncture and Medical Clinic we are devoted to treating and assisting couples throughout the infertility process. We work with couples seeking to enhance their natural fertility.  Acupuncture can be integrated with medical interventions such as Clomid, IUI and IVF cycles. We currently provide fertility acupuncture services for women undergoing ART at fertility clinics which includes acupuncture treatment before and after embryo transfers.
The essence of the fertility wellness program however, is to take a closer look at the body from a holistic perspective and correct any and all imbalances that may be contributing to fertility problems. Our mission is to help restore your fertility so that you can conceive naturally or increase your success rates if doing assisted therapies.

Below is a list of the common types of fertility patients we work closely with:

•    PCOS & Ovulatory Dysfunction
•    Unexplained
•    Endometriosis & Cysts
•    Male Infertility - Low motility, morphology and count
•    Couples who have exhausted ART options

It is our strong belief that all women and men should strive for optimal health when planning to begin a family. Women may have clues that their periods are not healthy; they may have lots of PMS symptoms or pain, heavy bleeding or irregular cycles. The first goal of the fertility wellness program is to educate women on the details of their menstrual cycles — to help them interpret BBT charts, identify cervical fluid,  and work to create an optimal fertile environment. Then we use the tools within the fertility wellness program to attain better balance.

These are:
•    Acupuncture
•    Relaxation and stress reduction – Qigong exercises.
•    Diet therapy
•    Lifestyle modifications to promote better health in general
•    Deep organ abdominal massage

Why Use Acupuncture for Infertility?

Acupuncture offers a natural approach to treating infertility by focusing on enhancing the quality of eggs, sperm, endometrial lining and cervical fluid. Sometimes this is enough for couples to conceive on their own and it is a very important step for couples who are about to undergo the expense and physical demands of IVF. Acupuncture can also support patients during In Vitro Fertilization, Artificial Insemination, and Hormonal Therapy cycles. The current research points to increased pregnancy rates when couples include acupuncture as part of their infertility care.
