Pregnancy Acupuncture Suitable From 4 To 37 Weeks
Acupuncture during pregnancy redirects energy from the mother to the baby, it can also unblock unknown energy blocks and this give the foetus more energy and they are more likely to thrive. It can also be hugely calming and energising for the mother.
In addition, acupuncture is highly effective for treating:
- Morning Sickness
- Migraine & Headaches
- Lower Back Pain
- Shoulder Pain
- Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
- Fatigue & Energy Blocks
Acupuncture to Correct Breech Presentation (Moxibustion)
A safe, non-invasive method used for over 2,000 years to help turn breech babies.
How Moxibustion Works
Moxibustion therapy does not involve needles but it does raise progesterone levels which in turn turns the baby. Moxa is a plant (Artemisia Argyi Folium) and it is burned one inch from the baby toe, one or twice a day for a 10 day duration.
A Moxa stick looks like a big cigar and it is lit in order to generate heat. It is placed near the baby toe of the patient and it is alternated between the left and the right baby toe for about 30 minutes. It does not hurt or burn, it just generates a feeling of heat around the baby toe of the mother.
Success Rates & Timing
- • Success Rate: 60% – 80% once it is done prior to 36 weeks, as the baby has more room to turn earlier in the pregnancy.
- • Ideal Timing: The optimum time to do Moxibustion is from week 32 to 34. Success rates reduce significantly after 36 weeks.
- • Convenience: You will only need to attend the clinic once for this treatment as we will give you the Moxa to take home and continue this treatment for 10 days.
"I have been going to Rachel for a number of health issues the latest being Prolapse after child delivery. Excellent diagnosis and treatment. I feel like I have been given my life back and no longer feel the need to stay a short distance from the bathroom."
