Will it hurt?
The first question everyone, quite rightly, asks.
I think it is fair to say that there may be other procedures involved in the ivf process that are possibly more uncomfortable.
Most people enjoy the calm it can bring!
You won’t see the needles but you might feel them in varying degree.
If you have a tattoo, I can’t believe you are even reading this!
What happens the first time?
At the first appointment, a full medical history is taken including discussing lifestyle and diet.
Get comfortable. Most of the time (all) I treat with person lying on their back. Of course this is up to you. We’ll discuss it before we begin.
Nothing is a problem. You must be comfortable to get most benefit from the treatment. This is your time.
Loose fitting clothes are good.
How long will this take?
For people to get the most benefit from the treatments, it is important to make this your time. The first appointment lasts about an hour. Follow-ups are 45mins.
Where?
brackley medical centre – free onsite parking
Can I drive afterwards?
It is possible to feel a bit lightheaded but in a refreshed way. Maybe similar to how you would feel after a good sleep. Or hypnosis.
Treatment cost?
We can discuss a treatment plan to suit you or simply pay as you go.

The Surprising Benefits of Acupuncture in Complimenting IVF Treatments
In recent years, acupuncture has gained popularity as a complementary therapy for individuals undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. While IVF is a widely used assisted reproductive technology, the addition of acupuncture to the treatment plan has shown promising results in improving the chances of successful conception. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of using acupuncture to complement IVF treatments and how it can enhance overall fertility outcomes.
Stress Reduction
One of the key benefits of acupuncture in conjunction with IVF treatments is its ability to reduce stress levels. The process of undergoing IVF treatments can be emotionally and physically taxing for individuals. Acupuncture helps to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, creating a more conducive environment for successful implantation and pregnancy. By reducing stress hormones in the body, acupuncture can optimize the body’s natural processes and improve fertility outcomes.
Improved Blood Flow
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body known as acupoints. This stimulation promotes increased blood flow to the reproductive organs, including the uterus and ovaries. Improved blood circulation can enhance the delivery of essential nutrients and oxygen to the reproductive organs, creating a more favorable environment for embryo implantation and development. By enhancing blood flow, acupuncture can support the overall reproductive health of individuals undergoing IVF treatments.
Hormonal Balance
Hormonal imbalances can often impact fertility and the success of IVF treatments. Acupuncture has been shown to help regulate hormonal levels by stimulating the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that play a role in hormonal balance. By promoting the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms, acupuncture can support the production of key hormones necessary for ovulation, implantation, and pregnancy. Maintaining hormonal balance is crucial for optimizing fertility outcomes during IVF treatments.
Enhanced Egg Quality
The quality of eggs is a crucial factor in successful IVF outcomes. Acupuncture can help improve egg quality by increasing blood flow to the ovaries and enhancing the overall health of the reproductive system. By reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, acupuncture can support the development of healthy and viable eggs, increasing the chances of successful fertilization and embryo development. Improving egg quality is essential for maximizing the success rates of IVF treatments.
Increased Pregnancy Rates
Studies have shown that incorporating acupuncture into IVF treatments can lead to higher pregnancy rates and live birth rates. By addressing various factors that can impact fertility, such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and egg quality, acupuncture can enhance the overall efficacy of IVF treatments. Many individuals have reported increased pregnancy success after incorporating acupuncture into their fertility treatment plans. The combination of acupuncture and IVF can improve the chances of conception and achieve a successful pregnancy.
Personalized Treatment Approach
Acupuncture offers a personalized and holistic approach to fertility support. Each individual’s body responds differently to acupuncture, and treatment plans are tailored to address specific fertility concerns and goals. Acupuncturists work closely with individuals undergoing IVF treatments to create a customized treatment plan that complements their unique needs and enhances the overall effectiveness of the fertility journey. This individualized approach can provide additional support and guidance throughout the IVF process.

In conclusion, the benefits of using acupuncture to complement IVF treatments are vast and significant. From reducing stress levels to improving blood flow, hormonal balance, egg quality, and pregnancy rates, acupuncture plays a valuable role in enhancing fertility outcomes. By incorporating acupuncture into IVF treatment plans, individuals can optimize their chances of successful conception and achieve their dream of starting a family. The combination of acupuncture and IVF offers a holistic and integrative approach to fertility support, providing individuals with a comprehensive strategy to enhance their reproductive health and overall well-being.
