Pregnancy care

Acupuncture is a safe, drug-free form of relief for many problems that can arise during pregnancy.

Acupuncture can help provide relief for morning sickness, headaches, back pain & sciatica, and symphysis pubis pain.  Many pregnant women come for weekly acupuncture sessions as a routine pre-birth treatment in the later stages of pregnancy.

Treatment can also help with emotional issues surrounding pregnancy and childbirth - anxiety and stress and depression.  A study in the USA published in the journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology suggested that acupuncture could be beneficial to women who suffer from depression during pregnancy.
