Many practitioners come to acupuncture as a second career after personal health struggles. Acupuncture works by stimulating the body's natural systems to restore balance. Common fertility issues treated with acupuncture include irregular cycles and hormonal imbalances. Endometriosis and PCOS can see significant improvement through acupuncture treatments. Acupuncture can help manage stress and anxiety, which are common in fertility struggles. Regular acupuncture sessions can enhance the chances of conception and overall reproductive health. Acupuncture is safe during pregnancy and can alleviate common pregnancy symptoms. Postpartum acupuncture can support recovery and address issues like milk supply. Misconceptions about acupuncture being 'woo-woo' are unfounded; it has a solid scientific basis.
