Soquel Acupuncture

At Points for Wellness we know that many women in the Soquel, CA area suffer from conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) that can impact fertility. As practitioners of Chinese medicine, we provide acupuncture for fertility, a natural and non-invasive treatment that is focused on promoting health and well-being while supporting fertility and helping women achieve their dreams of conceiving and enjoying a healthy, happy pregnancy.

In Traditional Chinese medicine a network of energy systems, each with their own harmonious organs and hormonal responses, comprises a woman’s reproductive system. Imbalances in the body often occur due to poor nutrition, chemicals, stress, lack of physical activity and other factors that can negatively impact the reproductive environment. Acupuncture for fertility along with nutritional therapy and herbs prescribed for a patient’s unique needs can create a more fertile environment.

Endometriosis and PCOS are common conditions among women of child-bearing age; both can affect fertility and make it difficult to become pregnant. Women who suffer from either of these conditions may experience irregular menstrual cycles and pain, along with other symptoms. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is often diagnosed in women who present multiple cysts on the ovaries, excess hair growth caused by an excess of male hormone such as testosterone, and pituitary dysfunction. Endometriosis occurs when the endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus. While the cause of endometriosis isn’t clear, some believe this condition could be caused by retrograde or “backward” menstrual flow, chronic inflammation, immune responses, or hormone imbalances.

Chinese medicine practitioners frequently use acupuncture for fertility due to its ability to reduce stress, regulate hormones, strengthen the immune system, improve ovarian function and reduce the side effects of Clomid, a drug often used in modern medicine to treat infertility. Studies have revealed that the primary cause of hormonal dysfunction in American women, PCOS, is often successfully treated with TCM which can stimulate ovulation and reduce menstrual cramps. Acupuncture has been shown to yield increased pregnancy and live birth rates when used in conjunction with Western fertility treatments. On its own or in combination with treatment or prescribed medication used in modern medicine, acupuncture is a vital tool for enhancing fertility.

Discovering the root cause of illness or disease in the body so that it can be treated is vital in Chinese medicine, which focuses on overall wellness and balance rather than treating symptoms. Every system in the body is part of the network; they all work together to promote physical, emotional and spiritual health. The reproductive system does not work independently of the others, so achieving balance is key to improved fertility.
