Prenatal Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a safe and gentle way to successfully treat many common problems that may arise during pregnancy such as morning sickness, fatigue, aches and pains, and emotional imbalance.

Acupuncture during pregnancy offers women a drug free and side effect free alternative to managing their health and well-being. It can help treat pregnancy pain such as pelvic, lower back and rib pain, in addition to morning sickness and headaches. Acupuncture can help the body prepare for labour and delivery by shortening the labour process and reducing the need for medical interventions.

During pregnancy, acupuncture has been shown to effectively treat the following conditions:
  • Miscarriage prevention
  • Morning sickness (nausea & vomiting)      
  • Fatigue
  • Headaches
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Sinusitis 
  • Pregnancy-induced hypertension
  • Insomnia
  • Edema (fluid retention)
  • Pain - musculoskeletal conditions
  • Vaginal itching
  • Breech & posterior positions
  • Cervical ripening
  • Induction   
Pregnancy Pain
Acupuncture is safe, gentle, and effective in treating pain that may arise during pregnancy. By improving circulation, swelling and inflammation is reduced. Some of the most common aches and pains experienced in pregnancy are easily reduced through acupuncture:
  • Neck and upper back pain
  • Lower back and sciatica pain
  • Leg cramps
  • Rib pain
  • Pubic symphysis pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

Study looking at efficacy of acupuncture in treatment of pelvic pain in pregnancy (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Elden+et+al.+2005+pelvic+pain+in+pregnancy)

1st Trimester
Acupuncture can provide drug free relief to some of the most common complaints in early pregnancy, such as nausea, vomiting, headaches and fatigue.

2nd Trimester
During the second trimester, women experience a lot of changes in their body due to the growth of the baby. This can lead to back pain and the misalignment of posture. Acupuncture treatments can reduce or correct these conditions, and can also give relief from heartburn, hemorrhoids, anxiety and depression.

3rd Trimester
Acupuncture helps ease many of the discomforts of the 3rd trimester, such as back pain, sciatica, swelling, constipation, heartburn and insomnia. Acupuncture treatments can also gently prepare the body for labour by ripening the cervix and by teaching your body how to promote efficient contractions. Patients who get acupuncture throughout their pregnancy, especially the third trimester, report faster and less complicated deliveries.

Breech Position
Most babies turn to a head down position between week 28 and 32. If your baby hasn't turned by 33 weeks, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a reliable and non-invasive approach. Moxibustion is a process of burning a chinese herb (dried mugwort) over an acupuncture point to encourage your baby to turn. The stick does not come in contact with the skin, but warms and stimulates the acupuncture point. These treatments change the mother's hormonal levels which cause the baby to increase its movements and rotate accordingly. During the appointment you will be instructed on how to perform this take home treatment.

In a study by Cardini et al. in 1998, published in the journal of American Medication Association, the moxibustion group had a 75.4% turn rate in comparison to 47.7% in the control group. Most importantly, no side effects or adverse reactions have been noted in this study or any other similar study. See the full study here (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9820259.)
