pregnancy and postpartum support

Acupuncture has been found to be a safe and effective option for helping to address many health issues, including fertility, pregnancy and postpartum issues. Many women report experiencing physical discomforts such as morning sickness, pregnancy back pain, and fatigue during pregnancy.

At our acupuncture clinic in Auckland NZ, we have a team of professional acupuncturists who can help you relieve these discomforts and promote a healthy pregnancy using TCM.

Pregnancy and postpartum support

Acupuncture has been shown as an effective method of helping to relieve various pregnancy discomforts like lower back and pelvic pain, pregnancy sciatica as well as morning sickness. You can also employ Chinese acupuncture as a way to help prepare for childbirth with what are referred to specifically as labour acupuncture treatments.
After delivery, many women find acupuncture treatments essential for rebuilding their Qi and blood, increasing their milk supply, and dealing with postpartum depression.
