What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is used in China for about 4000 years as a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine. It is the treatement method in witch thin acupunture needles made of stainless steel are inserted into certain acupuncture points (the location is individual according to the health and state of each person). We influence the balance of organism, flow of energy, moderate pain and stress or we try to restore normal functions of vary body parts by application of needles.

In the field od IVF, we focus on hormonal balance, improvement of ovarian and uterine function, psychological balance, elimination of anxiety, fear and tension. We reduce the adverse effects of drugs administred in the treatement of fertility. We can also apply acupuncture to a partner to reduce stress and improve the quantity and quality of sperm. Acupuncture treatement is very well tolerated, helps to open the uterine throat before transfer, calms the patient, helps relax and returns balance. In IVF clinics around the world -–in Europe, the US and Canada – it is an important part of the assisted reproduction.
