Acupuncture has surprising benefits for pregnancy-related symptoms

✅ Nausea & Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting in the form of morning sickness is common, affecting 70–80% of pregnant women.

Acupuncture and acupressure, has been shown to reduce symptoms of nausea & vomiting. The National Library of Medicine published research that shows acupuncture can help to reduce nausea & vomiting during early pregnancy. It can alleviate mild/moderate nausea & vomiting whilst promoting a greater sense of general well being.

✅ Headaches & Migraines

Some women find themselves experiencing migraines throughout their pregnancy. Treating these migraines can pose a challenge to Western doctors due to the risk of fetal complications from using standard medications. Alternatively, acupuncture can provide natural analgesic relief to patients. Research shows that acupuncture can reduce pregnancy-induced headaches and provide support with minimal risk to the fetus.

✅ Back Pain & Pelvic Pain

More than 60% of pregnant women experience lower back pain and 20% experience pelvic pain. Symptoms typically increase in magnitude in the later stages of pregnancy.

Research shows that acupuncture is effective at relieving Lower Back and Pelvic Pain, improving the pain condition. Regular acupuncture sessions earlier in the pregnancy can help to deal with the pains that develop later in the pregnancy more effectively.
