Acupuncture and its use in Fertility
Fertility problems are common and currently one in six couples in the UK are considered to experience difficulty in getting pregnant. The desire to have children later in life is also having an effect on conception.

Until fairly recently the medical profession has been sceptical about integrating complementary therapies with conventional medicine, but there is now an increasing amount of research that suggests that acupuncture may have some benefit during IVF treatment and also in helping with natural conception by regulating the menstrual cycle.

Acupuncture during pregnancy
Acupuncture is an ideal form of treatment during pregnancy because it offers women safe, drug free relief for a multitude of problems that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth. It may prevent these conditions becoming serious enough to necessitate medical intervention:

• Back pain and sciatica
• Neck pain
• Pelvic pain
• Nausea & Vomiting
• Constipation
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Anxiety

Acupuncture may also be helpful in turning breech babies, birth preparation and induction of labour.
