ACUPUNCTURE

​

The first question for most potential patients is "what can acupuncture treat?" You can see a more comprehensive list here. Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific points located on the surface of the skin, which have the ability to alter various biochemical and physiological conditions. Selected points are stimulated by the insertion of hair-thin, disposable stainless steel needles. Modern research shows that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that promote circulation and hormonal balance, as well as reduce pain and inflammation.

Acupuncture not only eliminates and alleviates symptoms, but it also treats the underlying cause and improves the patient's quality of life. No two acupuncture treatments are alike; an individualized treatment plan will be formulated based on your unique needs. ​

ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE​

​

Electro-acupuncture is the term used to refer to the application of a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles, or even without needles, to acupuncture points on the body. Electro-acupuncture has been in use since the 1930's. Electricity is applied to acupuncture needles in varying frequencies to stimulate the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters and anti-inflammatory substances.

​

Electro-acupuncture is very comfortable and is not painful. It is often very soothing to the patient, providing a soft humming and, essentially, a more fluid treatment. Electro-acupuncture elevates the treatment and makes it much more effective and precise.

Electro-acupuncture is excellent for:

​

​

• Anxiety

• Depression

Electro Acupuncture For Fertility

 

Electro-acupuncture for fertility greatly benefits women trying to conceive naturally or with IVF by improving uterine lining and blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. This helps improve endometrial thickness and ovarian function, both critical for implantation and egg quality.

​

• Electro-acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle and help rebalance the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO), which manages hormonal rhythms. It can help improve irregular cycles, PCOS and luteal phase defects. ​

​

• Electro-acupuncture for stress relief is important in infertility. It can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reduce cortisol and help regulate the body's natural hormonal rhythms.​

​

• Studies show electro-acupuncture before and after embryo transfer in IVF can increase implantation rates, improve embryo receptivity, and reduce uterine contractions that can interfere with implantation.
