Acupuncture & Fertility

Acupuncture can be a powerful complementary therapy when undergoing IVF or facing infertility challenges. Here’s how they work together:

⸻

🌿 1. Enhancing Blood Flow to Reproductive Organs

Acupuncture helps improve circulation, especially to the ovaries and uterus. This can:
• Promote healthier ovarian follicles.
• Improve endometrial thickness, creating a more receptive environment for embryo implantation.

⸻

🧘‍♀️ 2. Reducing Stress and Regulating Hormones

Fertility journeys can be emotionally draining. Acupuncture:
• Lowers cortisol (stress hormone) levels.
• Helps regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, which controls reproductive hormones.
• Encourages emotional balance during the ups and downs of IVF.

⸻

🕰 3. Supporting Key IVF Phases

Timing acupuncture treatments with IVF cycles can be particularly effective:
• Before egg retrieval – Enhances follicle development.
• Post-embryo transfer – Increases uterine blood flow and reduces uterine contractions to support implantation.
• Post-transfer relaxation – Helps keep the body in a parasympathetic, calm state.

⸻

🤰 4. Improving Male Fertility Too

For couples undergoing IVF due to male factor infertility, acupuncture may:
• Increase s***m count and motility.
• Improve overall s***m quality.

🔬 What the Research Says

Studies suggest that acupuncture around embryo transfer days may increase pregnancy rates when combined with IVF, though results can vary. It’s most beneficial when administered consistently for a few months before and during treatment.

Another happy client who’s competing in this weekends in Manchester . Client presented with shoulder pain and lack of movement. We treated him with a mix of Guasha, Acupuncture and deep tissue massage.

This client has been struggling with long term acne.

To start we began with a deep cleaning body treatment. Cleanser, scrub, mask, serum followed by moisturiser. This will give us a clean base to begin a course of chemical peels to help stop the acne and resurface the skin texture.

We discussed a home care plan using products to boost results. He is currently using which is also a great product range and has helped so far.

This client had been training heavily in the gym. Presented with a pulled back and pain radiating into the buttocks. A treatment plan was worked out with daily acupuncture and electrodes followed by deep tissue massage.

After the first treatment his back had reduced pain and improved movement. Still not fixed but some relief until tomorrow’s session.

KT Taping, using KT can be the best way to support weak or injured limbs.

Following his knee acupuncture session we applied tape to offer extra support and taught the client how to do this himself between sessions.

The tape offers more benefits than standard support bandages as it can be stretched and attached exactly where needed. This offers maximum support and speeds up recovery time.

Facials are an important way to boost your skin. Deep cleansing, exfoliation, drawing clay masks, serums, moisturiser and massage. What better process could there be for clear skin. Not only will you look good you will feel great.

Shoulder Cupping. Relieving pain — Cupping has the potential to provide some pain relief, due to its circulation-boosting and muscle-relaxing properties.

It can Improve the range of motion — It’s also said that cupping can improve limited range of motion as a result of tissue repair and muscle relaxing.

This client had regular high intensity work outs and runs his own PT classes. He also has a a very physical job. Should pain and muscle tightness has limited his mobility.

DU20 - relief of headache, stroke, dizziness, and anxiety. Plus so many other benefits. I love using this point to give my clients a boost. I refer to it being like a grappling hook to lift and boost when needed.

We all struggle in life at times. If you’re in a good place and you see someone struggling reach out.
