Pregnancy Care
Acupuncture provides safe, evidence-informed support throughout all stages of pregnancy, from early gestation through postpartum recovery. Treatments are tailored to the physiological changes of pregnancy and designed to support both maternal and baby's well-being.
Prenatal Acupuncture may help alleviate common pregnancy-related symptoms, support optimal function of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, and promote emotional balance during this time of significant physical and hormonal change.

“In childbirth and delivery, acupuncture has been reported to be beneficial for inducing labor, shortening the time of labor, avoiding post-term dates, and reducing postpartum bleeding.”
According to a systematic review published by the Cochrane Library, weekly acupuncture has been shown to reduce the likelihood of medical interventions including the need for a cesarean section.
"Following each acupuncture treatment, the volume of milk increased within several hours, measured as residual milk after breastfeeding. Also, the milk was released from both breasts after the first acupuncture session and this bilateral maternal milk production was sustained during the rest of lactation."
