Acupuncture & Fertility In A Nutshell


Acupuncture offers a natural approach to treating infertility by focusing on enhancing the quality of eggs, sperm, endometrial lining and cervical fluid. It can help regulate menstrual cycles, support timely ovulation and help balance appropriate hormonal levels important for a healthy reproductive cycle. Sometimes this is enough for couples to conceive on their own and it is a very important step for couples who are about to undergo the expense and physical demands of IVF. Multiple studies have shown and most doctors agree that acupuncture increases the success rate of intense procedures such as IVF, artificial insemination and hormonal therapy while also helping to alleviate the uncomfortable side effects. Acupuncture is a low-cost and non-invasive support therapy for any couple trying to get pregnant.

You should consider acupuncture if you are trying to get pregnant and:

  • You have been trying for more than 6 months
  • You are undergoing IVF or artificial insemination
  • You are taking any form of hormonal therapy to help you get pregnant
  • You have been on birth control for more than 5 years
  • You are over 35 years old
  • You have trouble with your menstrual cycles such as clotting, pain or irregular cycles
  • You have been diagnosed with poor sperm motility

Patient Comments
Anna Rudel Rules!!!

I am a Chiropractor and started seeing Anna after a knee surgery. I was amazed how quickly I recovered. My surgeon even commented on how quickly I healed post surgery. Since then, I have sent numerous patients to Anna ranging from sinus problems to foot pain and everything in between. Everyone I have sent has been just as happy as I was. She has a fabulous personality and explains things in an easy to understand way. You leave her office feeling well cared for on many levels. Anna is the best! - Heather S.
