Acupuncture
Acupuncture Can Complement Your Fertility Treatment
Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years and is not only considered safe, but also is commonly used. More recently, its use has integrated the field of fertility, especially for patients undergoing either intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF.
The licensed acupuncturists from Integrative Acupuncture use hair-thin, sterile needles that are inserted into acupoints, which can, in the case of infertility, target reproductive organs.
