Can Acupuncture be helpful and is it safe during pregnancy? Absolutely! In fact, Acupuncture is used at all stages of pregnancy- before, during and after. Acupuncture is so highly effective for fertility that we have specific pages for it. It is helpful for women’s health, women’s fertility and men’s fertility. How does it help? Acupuncture is like hitting the reset button on the body and it is a direct connection to the nervous system which is the main control center of the body. The Acupuncturist can activate certain points on the body which will help to balance hormones needed for pregnancy, help to increase ovulation, help the uterus to become very healthy for implantation, all the while increasing circulation and nutrients to the growing fetus, helping mom to absorb and digest food better, etc. Acupuncture is AMAZING!
