The Power of Proper Balance

Quite a few women that have had a problem conceiving or have been told they might have undiagnosed infertility can find support in acupuncture. Frequently a woman is merely out of sufficient hormonal balance or may have a less than optimal state of physical health due to stress, diet or lack of proper exercise. These conditions are often what is making conception so difficult. Causes of Infertility Hormonal disproportions and fertility issues are related to the endocrine and reproductive systems. These are very closely linked to the ovaries as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary glands responsible for menstruation, menopause and ovulation. Altogether these constitute the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis (HPO). This system has a rather fragile balance and can be easily thrown out-of-balance by complications like stress, the aging process and a number of other factors.

Acupuncture Therapy has proven to aid in advancing proper function of the HPO and as a result can play an important factor in a woman’s capacity to conceive in addition to boosting her overall feeling of well being during the course of the fertility treatment process.

How Acupuncture Works

Through literally thousands of years of experience, traditional Chinese medicine has devised a chart of the body that consists of pathways called meridians via which blood and oxygen flow to nourish the organs. Think of this as a roadmap to your overall health – when flow is interrupted (much like a traffic jam) symptoms occur.  The meridian pathways have targeted points for healing that are activated by an acupuncture needle. The brain responds to the needle as a stimulation and our nervous system responds with a healing reaction. Studies have shown that acupuncture boosts blood cell counts, endorphins, and serotonin levels – our body’s natural painrelieving and healing chemicals. Studies likewise indicate that the chemicals linked with the function of the immune system remain elevated for days after an acupuncture session. The enhanced circulation of blood and the body’s natural healing responses decrease inflammation, diminishes stress, and strengthens one’s health.

IVF
  • Healthy Body, Better Results
  • Acupuncture Will Accent Your IVF Outcomes
  • Make Healthy, Good Quality Ova
In Vitro Fertilization is a great alternative for patients who have a medical situation preventing them from getting pregnant. IVF often has fantastic results, but a patient should really expect that a lot of effort must be invested into the process. Many women find that IVF is a stressful time in their life and can be taxing on the female body. Acupuncture is intendeded to allow a woman just relax and focus on the body’s health. IVF can be costly, so the ideal situation is to get pregnant as quickly as you can. Or, simply put do a lower number of IVF cycles. The best method to accomplish your goal is to complement your efforts with acupuncture and other elements which enhance the results of IVF. These may incorporate life factors such as your comprehensive diet, exercise, supplementation, medication & general health. According to studies, acupuncture is the only therapy that has been proven to increase live birth outcomes from IVF.
Achieving Success with your IVF Cycle
Acupuncture patients frequently experience the benefit of higher quantity, and better quality ova. Boosting circulation with acupuncture increases the function & muscle-tone of the uterus and ovaries. Acupuncture boosts the Nitric Oxide levels in treated areas and as a result improves local circulation. Why is it important to increase Nitric Oxide? In a published research study, Nitric Oxide appears to slow down the hardening of the ova’s outer shells, increase the release of molecules that prevent improper fertilization, and fight other signs of aging that could interfere with fertilization. In addition, acupuncture works to relax the nervous system, diminishing stress and anxiety. This is most especially important in the course of an IVF cycle to enhance results. All of the factors mentioned are the result of acupuncture coupled with assisted reproductive therapy that benefit women in increasing their chances of becoming pregnant.
IUI
IUI treatment is a first choice for many couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant but do not yet need to try IVF. Published studies reveal that acupuncture significantly increases success with IUI. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that involves placing sperm inside a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. This fertility treatment can be done with or without medication. Acupuncture benefits this process by improving egg quality and readying the uterus for implantation.

Because there are so many variables involved, conditions must be just right for conception.
Fertility = Healthy Hormones
If you’ve been attempting to become pregnant for multiple months and have not been successful, consulting acupuncture physician Jiji Cook will benefit you in numerous ways. Aside from acupuncture, Jiji works much like a coach to help you figure out your cycle, your timing, and any missing parts of the equation that can help you accomplish your pregnancy.

And on the other hand, many people experience rapid biological aging when they have unhealthy habits like smoking or lack of exercise. You would be well served do everything you can to enhance your attempts at pregnancy . Diet, exercise, acupuncture & healthy weight will grow your chances and decrease your attempts.

Pediatrics

  • Children Benefit From Natural Medicine
  • Stimulate Immune System Without Drugs
  • Emotional & Behavior Issues Can Be Treated
Treatments For: Insomnia, Nightmares, Anxiety, Asthma, Allergies, Ear Infections, Bedwetting, Behavioral Issues, Constipation, Low Appetite. Children have fragile immune systems. Their immune systems are not fully developed like an adult’s which leads to more frequent illness. As a parent, you know a healthy child is a happy child. Children who are chronically ill are more likely to misbehave, sleep poorly & make life tougher for their parents. Rather than continually giving them a drug to mask symptoms, natural medicine can be the answer to build up the immune system and heal the root of the problem. Emotional sensitivity in children often brings about behavioral issues. It is not uncommon to see children who are afraid of the dark, feel overwhelmed in social situations or have anxiety & frustration related to school. Lack of sleep, insomnia & nightmares often lead to a lowered immune system and behavioral problems in children. For emotional & sleep problems such as these, nothing works better than pediatric acupuncture to calm the nervous system. Treatments will help to refocus their attention and energy and help them handle with stress. This is why acupuncture can also benefit children suffering from ADD or ADHD. Kids experience different recurring health problems including: bedwetting, constipation, chronic ear infections, asthma, allergies (food & environmental), and headaches. Many parents prefer to not have to give their children prescription drugs. Acupuncture is the safe and natural alternative way to treat your child’s developing system without the use of chemicals and other synthetic substances. Parents often ask, “What will their treatment be like?” Don’t worry! They don’t have to lay still with needles in them like an adult treatment. We often begin with acupressure and make the session like relaxed play-time so they do not fear coming in for treatments. Children respond quickly to treatments and often need fewer sessions than adults. Children are involved with their treatments and leave feeling relaxed and happy.
