Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment that can be used throughout pregnancy; from conception through to delivery and post partum care.


Acupuncture and Pregnancy

Acupuncture offers real choice during pregnancy. Understandably mums want to avoid taking drugs whilst pregnant if they can, so many conditions that women suffer with through pregnancy are just considered par for the course. Acupuncture can help to alleviate some of the sometimes severe symptoms a woman can experience whilst pregnant; it can also provide great benefit to prepare her body on a physical and emotional level for an  efficient delivery and post natal recovery. Acupressure can also be taught to birth partners to help manage pain during labour.
