Ease Your Pregnancy With Acupuncture

Pregnancy is an exciting time of great physical and emotional change. The demands of carrying a baby to term make it imperative that you seek the care you need to ensure optimal health during pregnancy and labor. Acupuncture eases the path of pregnancy by addressing your body’s unique needs. Because you are undergoing such rapid physical and hormonal transformations, you are also highly susceptible to environmental stress. Acupuncture can help your body adapt to the changes of pregnancy, boost your energy, decrease stress and anxiety, improve immune function, and alleviate physical discomfort in order to promote optimal health and ensure a gentle pregnancy.

Preparing For Labor With Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been shown to reduce the active (painful) phase of labor by an average of 3.6 hours when used for labor induction, and 1.7 hours if used when labor started spontaneously. Labor preparation treatments with acupuncture help foster the correct balance of yin and yang energy necessary for a gentle labor and swift delivery. Acupuncture improves energy, relieves fear and anxiety, and prepares your body by relaxing pelvic muscles and improving fetal position. Acupuncture can stimulate labor onset, help manage labor pain, and speed the course of labor to promote a gentle, safe, and timely labor and delivery.
