Acupuncture has a positive effect on ovulation, the menstrual cycle and the hormonal balance. All of this contributes to a higher success rate of conception.

Needles increase fertility

The treatment, during which needles are inserted into the acupuncture points on the patient's body, is based on traditional Chinese medicine. It is one of the oldest forms of infertility treatment.

Recent world studies show that the combination of modern Western and traditional Eastern medicine significantly increases the chances of success in infertility treatment. Acupuncture is such a great supportive treatment for IVF. It increases the success of fertilization and relieves unwanted tension and stress.

Body in balance

During acupuncture, the therapist restores the proper flow of energy in the body. Acupuncture points connect energetic pathways on the surface and in the depths of the body. If we stimulate them by needle injection, we support the activity of individual organs.

For example, we can increase blood flow to the uterus. Needle therapy has also been shown to improve ovarian function and increase endometrial blood flow. This helps to improve the quality of the uterine wall. Acupuncture is also suitable for men in whom it improves the quality and number of sperm.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Some patients are nervous before the first therapy and are afraid of needle pain. However, their application is not painful and you do not have to be afraid of the treatment. The needles are as thin as human hair. Needle therapy is very well tolerated and has no side effects. Our therapists are educated in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

They have many years of experience with acupuncture and are an important part of our professional medical team.
