Birth Preparation
Acupuncture is phenomenal at preparing the body to give birth.
We offer Pre-Birth acupuncture – a series of 3 treatments starting at 37 weeks. Highly recommended for first time moms and VBACS. The acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus and assists in cervical ripening allowing for a quicker and smoother birth.
We also do inductions of labor. While the acupuncture can’t force a woman to give birth it does a great job of encouraging birth. Great for:
- Post dates
- Macrosomia (big baby)
- Gestational Diabetes
- VBAC
We also assist women in working through past birth trauma to allow for this labor to progress in the most effective way possible.
Post Partum Care
Post partum Care includes:
- Persistent uterine bleeding
- Severe or persistent afterpains
- Night sweats
- Breastfeeding issues such as insufficient lactation and mastitis
- Post partum depression
