Does Acupuncture work for Miscarriages?
How does acupuncture support a healthy pregnancy?
A miscarriage describes a spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before week 20. Many miscarriages occur due to the improper development of the fetus, due to limited blood flow. There are also maternal health factors that can contribute to the loss of a pregnancy, including:
- Infections
- Thyroid disease
- Hormone imbalance
- Uncontrolled diabetes
- Cervical or uterine disorders
Within current research, acupuncture shows beneficial hormonal responses and decreased miscarriage rates. We specialize in providing acupuncture for recurrent miscarriages and overall improved fertility for both men and women. Consistent acupuncture will change the uterine environment into one that is conducive and welcoming to the growth of a fetus. This can be done with acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, herbal medicine, and in some cases additional supplementation. Our acupuncturist will identify the underlying conditions that increase your risk for pregnancy loss, this is not the same for every women who has suffered recurrent pregnancy loss. The root cause is always highly individual; that’s what makes our comprehensive evaluation process so important.
If you’re currently pregnant, acupuncture promotes blood flow to the uterus and growing embryo; it helps to calm the anxieties of the mother. We know these anxieties can be real, especially if you have had several losses.
