WHAT DOES A TREATMENT PLAN LOOK LIKE FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO CONCEIVE?
A new patient visit takes about 90 minutes. Upon arrival you will fill out a couple of forms then we will check your vitals (blood pressure and heart rate). Then you and your practitioner will spend about 45-60 minutes discussing your current and passed health history. Your practitioner will then examine your tongue and check your radial (wrist) pulses. These are two ancient Chinese diagnostic techniques which aids your practitioner in understanding where imbalances may lie so that they can appropriately treat you. Once all of this is complete, you will lie on a comfortable, heated table and receive your first acupuncture treatment.
Your practitioner will give you your specific treatment plan on either your first or second visit depending on time allowances. This could look different for each patient but usually it is 1-2x/wk depending on your condition.
WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS CAN CHINESE MEDICINE HELP?
Conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, anovulation (no ovulation), amenorrhea (no period), irregular, painful or heavy periods, fibroids, unexplained infertility, low sperm count/motility/morphology issues, low egg count, advance maternal age, thyroid issues, and more.
