Women are becoming increasingly aware of how their health and lifestyle during pregnancy effects the health of their unborn baby and the ease of their labor and delivery. Pregnancy is a joyous time for women when their bodies and minds feel healthy and supported. Natural, safe treatment alternatives are being sought out by many women who have concerns for the health and well-being of their growing baby, and themselves. Chinese Medicine offers time proven, holistic medicine to support healthy pregnancies and to treat symptoms if they arise along the way.

Acupuncture is effectively used to treat the following common symptoms that accompany many women’s pregnancies: morning sickness, nausea, hyperemesis, heartburn, reflux, fatigue, breast distention, abdominal pain, back pain, edema, constipation, urinary frequency and incontinence, common cold and flu, anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pregnancy induced high blood pressure.

Chinese Medicine can be used to treat some pre-existing health concerns to help eliminate or reduce the need for medications during pregnancy. Acupuncture treatments help to ensure a healthy pregnancy for mother and baby throughout all stages of growth and development. Chinese Medicine is also shown to be an effective treatment for recurrent miscarriage and to prevent early miscarriage for some women.
