Acupressure for pain relief in Labour
Acupressure can be used to promote an efficient labour and to help manage the pain of contractions.
There are many Acupuncture points that can be used effectively to manage pain, nausea and vomiting, help establish a labour or encourage one to progress. Many women using Acupressure during labour comment that they feel calmer and as a result, in more control.
The points that are taught are easy to locate and can be applied by your support person. You will be provided with instruction on how and when to use the points and provided with an easy to use booklet that your partner or support person can take to the labour for easy reference.
Acupuncture can also play an important part in labour and pregnancy. Acupuncture can be used in all stages of labour to manage pain but also to help a labour that is not progressing as efficiently as expected. Pre birth Acupuncture has been shown to increase efficient labours and decrease complications. Acupuncture can also be used to naturally induce labour - many women opting to try this before medical intervention.
