Pregnancy
Relieve Nausea and Acid Reflux
Our East Asian medicine doctors use modalities such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and moxibustion to safely and effectively help prepare a mother's body for a safe, smooth, and healthy childbirth experience. These traditional practices have been utilized for a millennia to support women throughout the childbirth journey, offering benefits ranging from preparing the body for labor to aiding in postpartum recovery.
In the prenatal period, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help optimize maternal health and address any underlying imbalances that may affect pregnancy and labor. Acupuncture treatments can help regulate hormonal balance, promote optimal fetal positioning, and alleviate common discomforts associated with pregnancy. Herbal formulas tailored to the individual's needs can further support these goals, providing nourishment and tonification to the body in preparation for childbirth. We also offer prenatal massage.
Acupuncture techniques and Chinese herbal formulas can safely and effectively relieve nausea and effectively relieve acid reflux, back pain and even turn a breech baby.
Relieve Back Pain and Turn a Breech Baby
Easy Delivery, Healthy Mom and Baby
For women who are overdue, acupuncture, moxibustion and Chinese herbal medicine are recognized for their potential to help induce labor naturally, offering a gentle and non-invasive alternative to medical interventions. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, practitioners can encourage cervical ripening, promote uterine contractions, and support the onset of labor in overdue pregnancies.
Postpartum Support
Furthermore, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine play a valuable role in postpartum care, addressing a range of conditions that may arise after childbirth. These modalities can help alleviate postpartum discomforts such as pain, fatigue, and mood disturbances, while also supporting hormonal balance and lactation. By facilitating the body's natural healing processes, acupuncture and herbal formulas promote a smoother transition into motherhood and aid in the mother's physical and emotional recovery.
Our doctors offer comprehensive support for expectant mothers throughout the childbirth journey, from preparation for labor to postpartum care. With their gentle yet effective approach, these traditional practices contribute to a positive birth experience and promote the well-being of both mother and baby.
“My blood pressure elevated dangerously in the last couple weeks of my second pregnancy. I was told that I would to have have a c-section if I didn’t go int labor in the next three days so I looked for help after I heard acupuncture can help. Rose was super helpful and the doctor’s fit me in. During the first treatment my blood pressure came down significantly and contractions began but were not progressing. The next day I had a second treatment and by that night I was in active labor and gave birth naturally as I had hoped to a healthy son! They helped me postpartum as well. I hope that every new mom gets this kind of support. It made a world of difference!”
