Infertility and Acupuncture

Researchers at the Department of Gynecological Endocrinology and Reproduction at the Women’s Hospital, University of Heidelberg, report that “auricular acupuncture seems to offer a valuable alternative therapy for female infertility due to hormone disorders” after research showed that an acupuncture group of 45 patients achieved a higher rate of pregnancy than a similar group treated with hormones, suffered no side effects and reported additional health benefits.

Another German study (Die Beeinflussbarkeit der Samenqualitat durch Akupunktur bei subfertilen Mannern by Fischl. F. et. al) reports improvement in sperm motility, concentration and count after ten acupuncture treatments.

We treat all infertility patients aged between mid-20s to mid-40s.  We provide strong support throughout the program whether one opts for a natural therapy combined with acupuncture and herbal medicines(some Western and some Chinese), or an adjunct program for IUI or IVF protocols.  We understand the emotional tolls this issue can bring about to male/female patients.  Please refer to testimonials for success stories at this clinic, and Video Resources (at the right side of this page) for general information.
