Acupuncture During Pregnancy

Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for common conditions during pregnancy.  I have treated all of the conditions listed below.  If your condition is not listed below just ask whether I would be able to help.

  • Miscarriage

Acupuncture is definitely effective in preventing miscarriage. If you have already had several miscarriages, then it is more sensible to have treatment before you try to conceive.

However, if you find yourself pregnant and are worried about miscarriage, then acupuncture is safe and effective and well worth having. See the case studies on acupuncture treatment for recurrent miscarriages.

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • back pain
  • delayed labour
  • pubic symphysis pain
  • anxiety
  • breech position
  • water retention
