You might have seen photos of people with needles in their skin and thought to yourself, “what exactly is going on here?” Well, acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves strategically inserting very thin needles into specific places on your body. For centuries, this technique has been used to relieve pain and discomfort associated with various conditions and diseases.
By inserting needles into specific meridians or pathways in the body, acupuncture can bring energy flow to certain areas and restore balance. Acupuncture can also boost the body’s natural painkillers by stimulating specific nerves, muscles and tissues.
In addition to the already established evidence-based benefits of acupuncture, including pain relief, rebalancing energy, relieving stress and anxiety, and resolving chronic issues, it’s becoming more and more common to have acupuncture to help fertility. Research continues to explore the role of acupuncture in fertility and IVF care, and many patients choose to include it as part of a broader, collaborative approach.
