Infertility is becoming more and more common, and conventional medicine offers limited help. Centre of Balance fertility clinic in Hamilton offers a natural alternative for fertility treatment, without the side effects of western medicine. Our treatment may also be used to help increases your chances of success if you are undergoing IVF.
When a woman is unable to get pregnant, it can be a particularly challenging experience for the couple. It doesn’t help that conventional medicine’s attempts to improve a woman’s fertility may prove to be risky, ineffective, and painfully expensive.
One ancient technique that has stood the test of time remains. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine have been treating infertility problems and supporting the wellbeing of women for thousands of years. At Centre of Balance fertility clinic, we treat the whole health of the patient, aiming to bring balance and addressing the underlying issues that cause infertility.
Traditional Chinese Medicine says that infertility is a consequence of the interruption of Qi or the life energy. Therefore, the aim of the acupuncture treatment is to restore, calm, and increase the body’s ability to accept the creation of life. At Centre of Balance fertility clinic, needles are inserted at specific points on the body’s meridians (channels), which are linked to the organs required for reproduction, including the brain.
Infertility is assumed to have a root and a branch. The root represents the underlying source, while the branch is the exhibited symptoms. There are various root causes such as a stagnation of liver Qi that manifest in different ways. Practitioners at Centre of Balance fertility clinic perform tests such as feeling the pulse and checking the tongue to determine the root of the Qi imbalance and consequently recommend the best treatment programme.
At Centre of Balance fertility clinic we suggest positive lifestyle changes to our fertility patients. These, along with Chinese herbs and acupuncture treatment aim to improve the effectiveness of fertility treatments. Cochrane, Smith, Possamai-inesedy & Bensoussan (2016) also conducted a study in which they showed that acupuncture improves menstrual health and reproductive functioning. As evidenced by scientific research, acupuncture may help women get pregnant by reducing inflammation, regulating hormones, and improving blood flow.
Aside from the restoration of Qi, acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus. This creates a rich, healthier and stronger uterine wall to support the embryo’s growth. According to a study by Chang, acupuncture strengthens a weak uterus lining hence reducing the chances of a miscarriage. Increased blood flow to the uterus improves its ability to absorb nutrients and facilitate the growth of an embryo. The role of acupuncture in improving blood flow to the uterus has been proven by thermal imaging and Doppler ultrasounds.
Acupuncture can boost fertility by moderating the release of essential hormones and reducing stress. Zev Rosenwaks from Cornell University and Chang published an article in which they found a significant relationship between the brain hormones that are necessary for conception and acupuncture treatment. They claimed that the treatment stimulates the release of endorphins, which calm the body and regulate the menstrual cycle. Additionally, the study found a neuroendocrine effect involving the ovaries, pituitary glands, and the hypothalamus. This three-way axis affects ovulation and egg production.
Inflammation of the reproductive system is an imbalance that can hinder the development of an egg follicle in the ovary. Additionally, it may upset the balance between estrogen and progesterone, which are vital reproductive hormones. Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine also treat polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with anovulatory cycles, hyperprolactinemia, luteal phase defect, unexplained (idiopathic) infertility, and chronic pregnancy loss.
