With the correlation between acupuncture and fertility significantly increasing in recent years, a growing number of hopeful parents are turning to this traditional Chinese medicine practice.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to promote healing and balance. The practice can help regulate hormones, improve blood flow to reproductive organs and reduce stress levels; all of which can contribute to healthier functioning organ systems and improved fertility outcomes.

By addressing underlying issues such as hormonal imbalances or poor blood circulation to the reproductive organs, acupuncture can enhance fertility in both men and women.

One of the key benefits of acupuncture for fertility is its ability to reduce stress levels in individuals undergoing fertility treatments. Stress has been shown to have a negative impact on reproductive health, affecting hormone levels and potentially interfering with ovulation and sperm production. Acupuncture can promote relaxation and reduce feelings of anxiety, which results in a more conducive environment for conception.

Acupuncture can also improve blood flow. The stimulation of specific points on the body results in increased circulation to the uterus and ovaries, promoting a healthier environment for egg implantation and embryo development. 

Balancing hormone levels in individuals struggling with infertility can also be aided with acupuncture. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt the menstrual cycle and affect ovulation, making it difficult to conceive.

Enhancing fertility with acupuncture is just one of the services offered at Family Integrative Medicine, which specializes in regenerative medicine, harnessing the power of the body’s innate stem cells to help augment its ability to heal itself.

Our holistic approach integrates regenerative treatments with other non-surgical options for long-term illnesses and chronic conditions, including functional medicine, oriental medicine and chiropractic care with a goal to address the root causes, not just treat surface-level symptoms.
