Acupuncture for Reproductive Health

Acupuncture for reproductive health and fertility uses hair fine needles gently placed at select points on the body to activate and regulate the body’s innate response systems to encourage healing. By working with the nervous system, immune system, circulatory system, endocrine system and more, acupuncture promotes balance in the body by reminding the body how to heal itself.

“Integrative Reproductive Acupuncture” refers to the use of traditional acupuncture and herbal medicine along with other more modern techniques and modalities like nutrition therapy, lab testing and more to optimize reproductive health and fertility. Combining traditional medicine with modern techniques creates a unique toolbox to effectively bring the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine into the modern world.
