Pre and Post IUI and IVF SuPPORT / Services

Acupuncture has been shown to increase and enhance egg quality, uterine lining, implantation rates, and likelihood of live birth. We offer support in all stages of preparation as well as before and after your IUI / IVF procedure, in office or onsite as a stand alone treatment.

The landmark Paulus study (2002), led by Dr. Wolfgang E. Paulus and documented in the journal Fertility and Sterility, compared women undergoing IVF with and without pre / post transfer acupuncture and concluded acupuncture is a useful tool for improving pregnancy rates after ART. As a result of this study’s outcome, acupuncture has become commonplace in fertility clinics on transfer day.

If you have a question regarding your specific condition, please contact us for a complimentary 15 minute consultation.

AUTOIMMUNe conditions

Our assessment of autoimmune presentation will always begin with you — not your diagnosis. Under normal conditions, an immune response cannot be triggered against the cells of one's own body; however, in certain cases, immune cells make a mistake and attack the very cells they are meant to protect. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have been instrumental in treating the root cause of these conditions / symptoms and reducing systemic inflammation, thereby restoring more optimal health and vitality. With autoimmune-related conditions, we find a multi-tiered approach most successful, combining targeted nutrition, comprehensive lab testing, acupuncture, supplements and / or Chinese herbal formula.

Some of the most common conditions treated successfully in our clinic include:

• Bell’s Palsy
• Comprehensive autoimmune panel for fertility / infertility
