Acupuncture Boosts Fertility

A review of the medical literature on acupuncture and female fertility published in the journal Fertility and Sterility has shown that acupuncture can help reduce stress, increase blood flow to the reproductive organs and normalise ovulation and the menstrual cycle. As such, women struggling to get pregnant may want to add acupuncture to their roster of fertility-boosting treatments, according to study author Dr. Raymond Chang of Cornell University.

To women trying to conceive

"I would like to spread the word about acupuncture at Pinehurst Healing Arts in Washington Heights to those women who are trying to conceive. After about 8 IUI attempts and one unsuccessful IVF treatment, I was open to anything that may improve my chances.

I read dozens of articles about acupuncture and fertility and asked my doctor at my fertility clinic for his advice. He was surprisingly positive about studies that have shown acupuncture to increase the chances of conceiving. So, I decided to try acupuncture even though I had never gone for acupuncture before.

Partial prolapse of the pelvic floor

"Jeanne Atkin has treated me for so many ailments--from the purely mundane (flu, cold, arthritis) to an incredibly complicated post-partum condition. Let me share with you how she helped me during and after pregnancy. Jeanne first treated me in the last four weeks of my pregnancy to tone and facilitate an optimal environment for the baby. After giving birth to my son, I was left to heal a 4th degree tear as well as partial prolapse, which was never even properly diagnosed by doctors.

Interstitial Cystitis

"I started going to Jeanne after I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, a chronic bladder disease (she was the second acupuncturist I tried). I did not have any success with my first acupuncturist). After just one treatment I began to notice less pain in my pelvis - and my other symptoms began to disappear. Eventually I became completely healed. Jeanne is a warm and understanding woman, who was easy to talk to about my embarrassing bladder issues. She, without a doubt, helped to heal me.
