We administer acupuncture to help relieve some of the challenges experienced during pregnancy. Acupuncture can be used alone or in combination with physical therapy, medications, and other treatments of your choice. If you are wondering whether acupuncture is safe during pregnancy, you can consult your OB or even come to us for a detailed consultation session to help clear your doubts.
The Power of Acupuncture for a Healthier Pregnancy
Acupuncture is one of the ancient Chinese healing techniques that have been applied for centuries to promote health and well-being. The application of pregnancy acupuncture can be helpful in eliminating many types of discomfort, such as morning sickness and fatigue.
How Acupuncture Helps with Morning Sickness
Morning sickness, which can be characterised by nausea and vomiting, is a major debilitating condition that many pregnant women experience. Acupuncture can help reduce these symptoms by:
- Calming the stomach: There are some acupuncture points that help calm an upset stomach and reduce nausea.
- Balancing hormones: Hormonal changes during pregnancy cause morning sickness. Acupuncture may help stabilise the hormones.
- Alleviating anxiety: Morning sickness worsens with anxiety. Acupuncture can be helpful in reducing anxiety levels and bringing relaxation.
Fight Fatigue with Acupuncture
Fatigue is another common symptom during the first trimester. Acupuncture can increase energy levels by:
- Improved blood circulation: Acupuncture helps to enhance blood circulation towards the brain and other organs of the body, hence energy.
- Hormonal balance: Hormonal imbalance may lead to a condition known as fatigue. Acupuncture will balance the hormones to increase energy levels.
- Relaxation: Adequate rest is essential in combating the condition. Acupuncture enhances relaxation, thus improving the quality of sleep.
