The Evidence: How Acupuncture Optimizes Fertility

Whether your path involves Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) like IVF or IUI, or a purely natural approach, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work powerfully to optimize your body for conception. We bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern clinical success.

Scientific and clinical observations suggest that holistic care significantly increases your chances of a successful pregnancy by focusing on the core foundations of reproductive health:

Regulates Hormones: Acupuncture improves the neuroendocrine axis—the communication pathway between your brain and reproductive organs—leading to a more regulated menstrual cycle and balanced hormone levels essential for conception.
Boosts Blood Flow: We increase circulation to the uterus and ovaries, which enhances the thickness of the endometrial lining for implantation and supports healthier ovarian function and egg development.
Enhances ART Success: When used alongside IVF, acupuncture has been shown to improve pregnancy rates, reduce the emotional and physical side effects of pharmaceuticals, and lessen uterine contractions after embryo transfer.
Reduces Stress: By calming your nervous system, acupuncture makes you more resilient and reduces your body's stress reaction, a key barrier that can interfere with conception and cycle regularity.

Men's Fertility Support

Dedicated Support for Male Factor Infertility

Fertility is a team effort, and we know that roughly half of all conception challenges involve the male partner. At The Point Acupuncture Clinic, we offer targeted acupuncture treatments designed specifically to enhance male reproductive health.

It takes approximately 90 days for sperm to fully develop. Our treatment plans are strategically designed over this period to positively influence the entire process, yielding significant improvements often seen in clinical research:

Improved Sperm Quality: Acupuncture works to increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs and reduce inflammation, which directly supports the environment for healthier sperm production. This can lead to improvements in key metrics:
- Count: Boosting the total number of sperm.
- Motility: Increasing the percentage of sperm that are actively swimming forward.
- Morphology: Enhancing the shape and structure of the sperm.
Hormonal Balance: We help regulate the testosterone levels and the endocrine function necessary for optimal sperm production.
Stress Reduction: Chronic stress significantly impacts sperm quality. Our treatments calm the nervous system, lower cortisol, and help ensure that energy is directed toward reproductive health, not survival mode.

Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or preparing for an IUI or IVF cycle, integrating acupuncture is a powerful, non-invasive way to maximize your contribution to the family-building journey.

Nutrition Support

Integrating Nutrition for Infertility Support

Achieving a healthy conception requires more than just acupuncture; it requires building a nutritionally robust foundation. At The Point Acupuncture Clinic, we use Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) to precisely identify the specific deficiencies and organ system stressors—often missed by general blood work—that may be impacting your fertility. We then create a personalized protocol using high-quality Standard Process whole-food supplements. This targeted nutritional support, combined with the balancing effects of acupuncture, is essential for optimizing hormone regulation, improving egg and sperm quality, and supporting a receptive uterine environment. By addressing the root cause of imbalance, we give your body every advantage on your journey toward parenthood.
