Acupuncture prepares a woman’s body to be strong enough to endure labor and delivery and can help to prevent difficult deliveries. Moxabustion, a treatment modality of Chinese medicine, is utilized by many practitioners to correct breech presentation from the 34th week of pregnancy on. Acupuncture can alternatively be used to effectively induce labor or to hasten a delayed delivery. Acupressure or acupuncture can be safely incorporated for pain relief and relaxation throughout labor and delivery.
