Once you are pregnant, whether you conceived naturally or using ART, you want to take good care of yourself while you’re enjoying the journey. Some health concerns and discomforts may arise during this time. Many of them can be addressed with acupuncture, manual therapy or homeopathy to reduce your need for pharmaceutical intervention. These include nausea, headaches, heartburn, ribside pain, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, constipation, anxiety, sleep disruptions, and more. Breech presentation may resolve with timely treatment.

Over the last decades, we have learned much in clinical settings and through research about the noticeable benefits that expectant mothers can derive from acupuncture and acupressure before and during childbirth. Women report more efficient labor, less use of pain medication, and overall higher satisfaction with the experience of giving birth.
