Pregnancy is a time when there are enormous physical changes occurring in the body. At the start it is common to feel nausea and exhaustion along with aches and pains. Acupuncture is the perfect treatment during pregnancy as it has no harmful side effects, is deeply relaxing and is safe for both mum and baby, especially at a time when mother’s cannot take any western drugs or painkillers. Acupuncture can bring a welcome relief for a myriad of pregnancy complaints such as sciatica, pelvic girdle pain, insomnia, anxiety, hip pain, restless legs, morning sickness and exhaustion. Pre-birth cervical ripening can also be used nearer to their due date.
Tiny needles are inserted at different points throughout the body depending on the main complaint and the stage of your pregnancy. It doesn’t hurt but often people feel a tingling sensation. Most women find it deeply relaxing and de-stressing and go straight to sleep. All of our acupuncturists are trained to degree level and experienced in treating pregnant women.
