Where are the Needle Placed with doing acupuncture for Endometriosis?
This is also highly individualized and will be based on where the imbalances are. Your initial treatment will be a comprehensive evaluation, based on the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine. That evaluation is what determines where the needles will be placed with doing acupuncture for endometriosis. It’s not the same for every person, and actually, it can be completely different person to person.
The needles trigger the release of endorphins, painkillers that your body produces naturally. Acupuncture for endometriosis also promotes deep relaxation and reducing inflammation, with has the added effect of enhancing fertility. Acupuncture for endometriosis is also beneficial for women trying to conceive with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Many of our patients who have started acupuncture prior to IVF see significantly improved results in their egg retrievals, IUI’s and frozen embryo transfers. Acupuncture for endometoriosis before embryo transfer helps to improve how receptive the endometrial lining is to the embryo. We have seen significantly improved pregnancy rates with acupuncture before embryo transfer (FET).
