Our fertility acupuncturist Deanna Thomas combine’s the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine with modern scientific research to help support natural conception so that you can achieve your dream of parenthood. 

What is Fertility Acupuncture?

Fertility acupuncture, a centuries-old tradition, enhances reproductive health by inserting fine needles into specific points to balance energy flow. It addresses not only physical health but also emotional and mental well-being. 

Why Consider Fertility Acupuncture?

Many turn to acupuncture as a natural way to enhance fertility. It's known for reducing stress, improving blood flow to reproductive organs, and balancing hormones - all crucial factors in fertility. Whether you're just starting to explore fertility options, undergoing treatments like IVF, or looking for holistic support, fertility acupuncture can be a valuable part of your journey.

Harnessing the Power of Acupuncture to Improve Blood Flow for Fertility

At our acupuncture clinic, we understand the intricate connection between the body’s energy flow and reproductive function. Through the precise placement of acupuncture needles at specific points, we stimulate blood flow and regulate fertility hormones, creating an optimal environment for conception.

Our fertility acupuncture treatment is designed as a complementary therapy to treat infertility problems such as:
  • Improve ovarian function and egg quality, helping couples use acupuncture to improve fertility and increase In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) success rates
  • Serve as a form of fertility medicine, particularly in improving sperm quality and quantity, addressing male fertility issues beyond the limitations of IVF/ICSI
  • Regulate menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances, enhancing menstrual cycle regularity and achieving healthier periods through improved blood flow and hormone regulation
  • Increase blood flow to the reproductive organs
  • Reduce stress and promote relaxation
  • Support embryo implantation and early pregnancy
While the focus is often on the female partner, male factor infertility plays a significant role in many cases. As a fertility-specialised acupuncture clinic, we have the expertise and facilities to treat both partners, enhancing your chances of success on this journey. By treating both partners simultaneously, we can create a synergistic effect, increasing the chances of successful conception and a healthy pregnancy.


What are the benefits of having acupuncture for fertility?

Acupuncture, a key component of traditional Chinese medicine, is increasingly recognized for its potential benefits in supporting fertility. Here are some of the key benefits:
  1. Fertility acupuncture offers several potential benefits that can improve your chances of conceiving, including as a non-pharmacological method in fertility treatment to enhance the timing and effectiveness of procedures like IVF.
  2. Regulates menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances by stimulating the release of reproductive hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
  3. Increases blood flow to the reproductive organs, providing more nutrients to the ovaries and uterus to create an optimal environment for fertilisation and implantation.
  4. Reduces stress and promotes relaxation, which can improve ovulation and sperm production.
  5. May improve sperm quality, motility, and morphology in men, addressing male factor infertility by positively influencing sperm parameters and assisting with increased IVF fertilisation rates.
  6. Helps regulate conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis that contribute to infertility.
  7. Enhances the effectiveness of fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) by increasing implantation rates, with acupuncture beginning two to three months before medical infertility treatments to improve outcomes.
  8. Some studies suggest that acupuncture might help reduce the risk of miscarriage when used alongside conventional medical treatments.

A Comprehensive Approach to Fertility Care, How Acupuncture Can Improve Fertility?

We believe in a holistic approach that addresses the root causes of infertility, whether it’s male factor, female factor, or a combination of both. Our licensed and experienced Fertility Acupuncturist Deanna Thomas works closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that may include:

  • Acupuncture treatments tailored to your specific fertility issues

  • Dietary and lifestyle recommendations

  • Herbal supplements and nutritional/ diet advice

  • Emotional counselling and stress management techniques

Specialising in treating infertility, our clinic leverages the profound knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, focusing on both male and female fertility factors to enhance reproductive health and support IVF treatments.

For optimal results, we recommend starting acupuncture treatment at least three months before any planned fertility procedures, as sperm and egg development takes around 90 days. 

A typical course involves weekly sessions building up to more frequent treatments closer to ovulation or embryo transfer.

An initial fertility consultation at Deanna Thomas Acupuncture and Wellbeing starts from £70, during which Deanna will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific fertility needs and goals.

 Consistent treatment over several months allows the therapeutic benefits of acupuncture to accumulate in your system for the best possible outcome.

Our patients' success stories are a testament to the efficacy of this ancient practice in improving fertility and achieving the dream of parenthood.

For couples undergoing  IVF, acupuncture can be a powerful complementary therapy.
