Acupuncture for Breech baby

Acupuncture and moxabustion has been used for centuries in TCM to help babies  to turn breech, and posterior and tranverse presentations.

In 2017 moxabustion and acupuncture were added to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG) Green-top Guidelines for ECV and Reducing the Incidence of Term Breech Presentation. The guidelines cite several studies showing that this treatment can increase the number of cephalic babies at term and reduce the need for cesarean sections.

When should treatment for repositioning breech presentation begin?

Ideally from 32 to 35 weeks of gestation or after 41 weeks of gestation to induce delivery.

PCOS and Endometriosis

Acupuncture has shown to be an effective treatment for reducing the pain and inflammation of PCOS and endometriosis. If you have PCOS or Endometriosis and are trying to conceive naturally or planning to do IVF, you may benefit from doing Acupuncture preparation course over 12 weeks to improve ovary function and egg quality.

Acupuncture for Peri-menopause & Menopause

Menopausal syndrome symptoms include night sweats, emotional vulnerability, sleep disturbances, fatigue, cognitive changes, and joint pain.

Whilst Acupucture cannot completely alleviate menopause and peri-menopausal symptmos, it is effective in reducing the intensity and frequency of the physical and emtional symptoms during this time.
