Perinatal
Acupuncture has gained popularity in recent years as a complementary therapy for various health conditions, including those related to the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. While individual responses to acupuncture can vary, some potential benefits of acupuncture for perinatal care include:
Pain Relief: Acupuncture can help alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pain, and headaches. It may also provide relief from pain during labor and after childbirth.
Nausea and Morning Sickness: Acupuncture has been found to reduce the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, commonly known as morning sickness.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction: Perinatal acupuncture sessions may help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression levels, providing emotional support to expectant and new mothers.

Labor Preparation: Some studies suggest that acupuncture might help prepare the cervix and pelvis for childbirth, potentially reducing the duration of labor.
Breech Presentation: Acupuncture techniques such as moxibustion (a therapy that involves burning a herb near the acupuncture point) have been used to encourage breech babies to turn into the correct position for delivery.
Inducing Labor: Acupuncture is sometimes used as a natural method to induce labor in overdue pregnancies, although this practice should be done under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.
Postpartum Recovery: Acupuncture sessions in the postpartum period may aid in healing, reduce swelling, and promote relaxation.
Breastfeeding Support: Acupuncture may help with lactation issues, including low milk supply and mastitis (inflammation of the breast tissue).
Hormonal Balance: Acupuncture is believed to help regulate hormones, which can be particularly beneficial during the fluctuating hormonal phases of pregnancy and postpartum.
Improved Sleep: Pregnant women and new mothers often struggle with sleep disturbances. Acupuncture sessions might improve sleep quality and help with insomnia.
