Fertility

  In recent years, getting pregnant has become extremely challenging. Acupuncture can help. By gently stimulating key points throughout the body, it unlocks the energy flow that nourishes conception. When used along with in vitro fertilization (IVF), it has proved more effective than IVF alone, with a dramatically higher success rate. It also promotes better health for mother and child. 

• Regulates hormones to increase follicle numbers 
• Improves ovary function for better quality eggs 
• Increases uterine receptivity to embryo implantation 
• Reduces stress and cortisol levels that decrease fertility 
• Relieves breast soreness, abdominal pain, and swelling  
• Minimizes headaches, mood swings, and fatigue
• Naturally regulates the menstrual cycle 
• Strengthens the immune system 
• Decreases the chances of miscarriage 
• Prevents uterine contractions

  In addition to Acupuncture, Dr. Weissler plays an active role throughout the fertility process, often prescribing Homeopathic medicines, nutritional supplements, dietary changes, and more, as well as  providing emotional support. Upon request, she attends the IVF procedure and performs highly recommended treatments before and after the embryo transfer.*

  Acupuncture has proved the ideal complement to traditional pregnancy care. It safely addresses common issues such as morning sickness, back and pelvic pain, nutrition, and anxiety. It also creates a calmer, healthier experience for mother and child. Acupuncture has also proved effective in repositioning a baby in breach (upside down) position and inducing labor. For further support, Homeopathy and nutritional supplements are often helpful. 

  The period after delivery can be physically and emotionally challenging. Acupuncture restores strength and balance while accelerating recovery. It also relieves post-partum symptoms. Along with other Holistic remedies, Acupuncture helps ensure a consistent supply of milk production, and reduces or eliminates post-partum depression. Mothers find these sessions extremely nourishing and comforting.

  Dr. Weissler counsels aspiring mothers and gestational carriers via Telehealth throughout the fertility process, pregnancy, and post-partum. Aside from Acupuncture, the same remedies, lifestyle recommendations, and emotional support provided locally have proved equally effective via Zoom or phone. (For more, see Telehealth.)
