Acupuncture & Fertility Specialty |
Chinese medicine has been using herbs and acupuncture to successfully treat fertility issues with great success for over 2000 years. In the last few years, thousands of couples in the United States have sought the help of TCM for their fertility issues.

Scientifically Proven
Recently a number of scientific studies have shown how Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment can affect fertility. Studies have revealed how by increasing uterine blood flow and effecting hormone levels acupuncture can increase fertility.
One of these studies showed that acupuncture greatly increased the success rate for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
This study showed that acupuncture can improve in vitro success rates by 62% in some cases.
With patients I have seen in my clinic, si milar or even better results have been obtained using 6-7 acupuncture treat ments spread throughout the IVF protocol. The first treat ment usually is given before egg retrieval and the last after embryo transfer.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs can also be very helpful in male fertility issues as well.
