How Can Acupuncture Boost Fertility?

According to Dr. Lifang Liang, DOM, expert in the field of fertility acupuncture and the author of the books Acupuncture & IVF and Contemporary Gynecology, Acupuncture Helps to:

1. Improve the function of the ovaries to produce better quality eggs.
2. Regulate the hormones to produce a larger number of follicles.
3. Increase blood flow to the uterus and increase the thickness of the uterine lining.
4. Relax the patient and decrease stress.
5. Prevent uterine contractions.
6. Lessen side effects of fertility drugs.
7. Strengthen and modulate the immune system.
8. Improve semen quality.
9. Decrease chances of miscarriage.

In my practice I incorporate acupuncture, nutritional recommendations, herbal medicine and lifestyle changes to offer a comprehensive fertility program. This combination of approaches provides your body the best opportunity to come into balance and achieve conception. Some of the most common things I deal with are PCOS, irregular cycles, premature ovarian failure, an-ovulation, sperm problems, recurrent miscarriage and unexplained fertility.

In Vitro Fertilizaton- I trained with Lee Hullender-Rubin (April 2015), one of the country's top experts on IVF and acupuncture, on how to use acupuncture to assist with IVF and increase effectiveness.

Jacksonville Fertility Acupuncture Patient Testimonials

"I came to Kendra after going through 1 failed round of IVF and a total of 3 years trying to conceive. I had been to another acupuncturist, but they didn't practice herbs and nutrition and I found Kendra to see if she could help me. I planned to do another round of IVF and Kendra told me that she could put me on some herbs to help prepare me for the next cycle. I started the herbs and acupuncture with Kendra and my husband also began to see her for acupuncture. Within two months, as I was preparing to go back into another IVF round, I was pregnant naturally. My husband and I could not believe it! I highly recommend Kendra for fertility acupuncture and herbs, as well as her just being a kind and compassionate practitioner. She helped me through my entire pregnancy with any symptoms that came up and I'm so grateful for her care!" -J.W., Jacksonville, FL

"I had been trying to conceive for 12 years when I came to Kendra. I actually wasn't too hopeful that I'd become pregnant and was coming in for other concerns like low energy and migraines. However, I did mention the history of infertility and Kendra told me that we'd work on whole body health and that would influence fertility. I could not believe it, but I was pregnant within three months of seeing Kendra (bonus, my energy and migraines improved too)! I highly recommend Kendra for her amazing acupuncture skills. -H.F., Jacksonville, FL
