Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a comprehensive approach for the treatment of gynaecological conditions and in supporting optimal conception and fertility. There is empirical clinical evidence and scientific research supporting the efficacy of acupuncture in improving pregnancy outcomes during IVF treatments. Acupuncture is a safe treatment to address hormonal imbalances, menstrual conditions causing pain, disruptions to blood flow, and ovulation issues.

An acupuncture treatment in our Tauranga Acupuncture clinic offers individualized treatments addressing menstrual cycle issues and reducing stress to create optimal hormonal balance in your body for conception. Improvements in general health and well-being are often seen when the menstrual cycle and reproductive health is treated with acupuncture.

Acupuncture treatment consists of also supporting you through the emotional challenges on the IVF - conception journey and creating a safe space for you to be heard and supported. We offer acupuncture treatments for IVF fertility as well as for preparing naturally to conceive. Treatments addressing fertility and hormonal balance 4 - 6 months prior to conception can also offer benefits for a healthier pregnancy.

Gynaecological conditions treated with acupuncture include: endometriosis, fibroids and uterine polyps, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovulation disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), fallopian tube blockage, amenorrhea, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
