Infertility has long been a common problem in our human history, and still continues to be a problem in the modern era. Generally speaking, as many as one in every six couples requires help from specialists to treat infertility. Fortunately, Western Medicine has developed various fertility treatment methodologies, especially the new assisted reproductive technology, which does increase the success rate. Despite this, nearly half of the couples among those who get treated by Western Medicine still fail to conceive.
Women undergoing fertility treatment could have their chances of success boosted by acupuncture. German researchers said they have increased success rates by almost 50% in women having in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
During pregnancy, many women are reluctant to take drugs in pregnancy and are looking for safe alternatives. Many common ailments associated with pregnancy are hard to alleviate conventionally but can be treated effectively with a combination of natural therapies. Acupuncture, in particular, and homeopathy can help with:
FIRST TRIMESTER - 0-12 WEEKS
Nausea (morning sickness can be severe and often goes on until week 16)
fatigue, stress, anxiety, constipation, miscarriage
SECOND TRIMESTER - 13-28 WEEKS .
There are still many common complaints that you may experience, which can make life more uncomfortable than it needs to be. Regular sessions of acupuncture can help to minimise many of these, particularly:
backache and sciatica, constipation and haemorrhoids, headaches, depression, heartburn
THIRD TRIMESTER - 28-40 WEEKS
Acupuncture has a valuable role to play in the final stage of pregnancy as well. In particular, it can help with: backache and sciatica pubic pain haemorrhoids breech babies exhaustion induction of labour.
I offer the following treatments specifically for pre-conception, fertility, pregnancy and babies:
Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Homeopathy.
I work with a number of well established, very experienced practitioners, so I can refer, when necessary for Osteopathy, Cranio-sacral osteopathy, Nutritional advice, Pregnancy Pilates classes, Pregnancy massage.
Pregnancy Pilates is probably the safest and most useful exercise for a pregnant woman, and I recommend pregnancy Pilates in a nearby studio, as well as postnatal exercise to help getting back into shape.
For both mother and baby, cranio-sacral osteopathy is a gentle yet powerful treatment very useful for alleviating birth trauma in babies, and fro the mother, before and after birth; two very experienced and qualified osteopath work in my practice and I often refer to them new born babies and their mums
I also offer homeopathy for labour and recovery form childbirth, homeopathy is also wonderfully effective for baby colic, and for teething.
Our friends from the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) run regular antenatal courses that are fully booked at least six month ahead.
I am happy to offer you a free twenty-minute initial consultation to introduce you to the wide range of resources available to keep you and your baby happy and healthy
