Acupuncture
|
|
Acupuncture is an ancient therapeutic art, which is gaining increasing interest in the treatment of infertility, especially as it is integrated with the modern medical practice of IVF
The mechanisms through which acupuncture influence female fertility are believed to involve the central stimulation of endorphin secretion, which in turn impacts on the reproductive hormone levels as well as suggested increased blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, resulting in uterine conditions favoring implantation.
Many reports in the literature claim positive effects of acupuncture in the treatment of female infertility.
The Herts & Essex Fertility Centre recognises the value of acupuncture and for this reason has developed an online network of vetted and local acupuncturists. Our network of acupuncturists have agreed to support our patients through their treatment. This website will provide full details of their qualifications, links to their practices and a brief synopsis of their interest in infertility.
Just click on a town near to you to select your nearest vetted acupuncturist.
