Once you have made a decision to plan for a child everything in your life changes! Little things take on a whole new significance and your thoughts are drawn so easily to who this new little person will be.

For many couples however, this first step on the road to bringing another new life into the world eludes them and while many kinds of infertility respond well to medical treatment, this is not the case for everyone.

Acupuncture as an aid to conception has a long history which is now supported by increasing amounts of clinical research and hard evidence. The approach taken by TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is that the mother or father to be, must be treated as a whole rather than singling out 'fertility' as an issue and treating this in isolation from the rest of the persons constitutional makeup and current state of health, including that of emotional, psychological health.

Before fertility treatment begins a TCM practitioner will conduct a detailed interview in order to determine exactly how acupuncture treatment will be of most benefit to you, the client. We are all unique as people and as parents and our fertility issues are as unique as ourselves.

For women fertility issues may often be related to problems with menstruation and so treatment may focus on bringing regularity and harmony to your monthly cycle. Anxiety may also play a significant role and acupuncture will also help to address this. For men the issues may relate to congenital conditions or an overall state of health generated by poor lifestyle choices. In this case acupuncture will focus on bringing the father to be, back to a robust state of health.
