Fertility Treatment Acupuncture in the East Bay

Fertility Treatment

I believe very strongly in an approach that includes the mind, body, and spirit. While I sometimes treat patients with acupuncture alone, the best results come from an integrated approach to fertility, combining diet, exercise, acupuncture, and other natural treatments.

There is no single, one-dimensional solution to infertility. Fertility must be approached as a whole-body problem, and all aspects of health must be addressed. I am privileged to work with a team of doctors and therapists who provide amazing services to moms-to-be. My treatment team includes Danielle Lane, M.D. a fertility specialist who understands the need for integrative care and works with me on women who need hormone therapy, IVF, IUI, or other medical procedures.

IVF Support with Acupuncture

Acupuncture can improve the success of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) up to 65%, according to scientific studies. Clinical trials have shown that acupuncture treatment before and during IVF increases blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. In addition, acupuncture appears to regulate fertility hormones which may contribute to follicle development and increased implantation. Acupuncture has been reported to promote the circulation of blood in the pelvic cavity and improve ovarian function.

Acupuncture treatment is safe, gentle, and does not cause interactions with fertility medications.

My IVF support program is an evidence-based protocol that should be started well before the day of embryo transfer for best results.

IVF support includes:

Individualized acupuncture program to match your IVF and medication schedule.
Acupuncture on-site at your fertility center on the day of embryo transfer, both before and after the transfer.

I am available to support your IVF so that you can maximize your chances of success.

As an older mother who had her first child at age 39, I understand the special physical and emotional challenges of my fertility patients. I know that with the proper nutrition and natural support, healthy fertility can be achieved well into your 30s and 40s. At any age, we can significantly improve your reproductive health with acupuncture.

If you are looking for natural ways to improve your fertility, I'd really like to help you.
