Can Acupuncture Treat Infertility? 

By Blaise T. Ryan, Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner

There is a reason that China has the world's largest population.  For thousands of years families have used Traditional Chinese Medicine to conceive and bring to term more healthy babies than any other culture on the planet. When couples struggle with infertility or frequent miscarriages it can not only be emotionally difficult, but financially expensive as well.  Even with the best technologies of IVF, some would-be mothers can't bring a new baby into this world.  That's why more and more families are integrating acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine into their baby-making strategy. According to traditional Chinese medicine there can be over half a dozen different reasons that cause a couple to be unable to conceive or avoid miscarriage. These are all based on understanding the body's overall health, metabolism and circulation.  

A qualified practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine can determine the cause of the infertility or miscarriages, and develop an effective treatment plan that optimizes their chances to conceive and carry the baby to term. Treatments often include a combination of acupuncture, Chinese herbal therapy and nutritional recommendations.

I've personally witnessed many patients in my clinic become pregnant and give birth to healthy babies after years of struggling with fertility problems.  I recently had one patient who had tried for over seven years and four IVF attempts finally get pregnant using acupuncture and Chinese medicine to support the process.

Acupuncture has become so popular to help people produce more children that specialized fertility acupuncture clinics have opened in dozens of large North American cities.  So if you, or someone you knows is having a hard time becoming a parent, tell them to give me a call at my clinic and I can do an evaluation to determine how Chinese Medicine may be able to help them.
