Of all the therapeutic tools offered by THE PAIN CLINIC, Acupuncture stands out as having been proven to be the most effective and versatile therapeutic modality. Acupuncture has repeatedly been demonstrated to outperform other stand-alone treatments such as over-the-counter pain relievers, physical therapy and chiropractic, not only effectively treating pain but also uniquely increasing tissue performance and speeding healing
Dozens of studies conducted and repeated internationally have demonstrated the effectiveness of acupuncture for women taking fertility drugs or using reproductive technology techniques such as IVF or IUI, which has led to it being viewed as an invaluable asset to successful IVF protocols.
A recent study from the British Medical Journal found that among women who received acupuncture and IVF, the pregnancy rates were 65% higher and the rates of live births were nearly twice as high than among women who received IVF without acupuncture.
Clinical observations from the Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness
suggest that the most effective fertility
treatments involve a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine alongside traditional medical
interventions.
How does Acupuncture help treat Male and Female Infertility, Painful and Irregular Periods?
a stress hormone that inhibits reproductive function
and men affected with sperm-DNA-fragmentation as well as increase libido. Approximately 60% of couples being treated for infertility are dealing with some form of male factor infertility
IVF clinics have improved steadily over thelast decade, with follicle stimulation, eggfertilization and embryo culture reaching atechnological and success rate plateau.
A considerable and growing body of research has led IVF clinics in the United States, Australia and Europe to include acupuncture as a standard component of care for all of their IVF patients. Acupuncture has been reliably shown to safely and effectively improve success rates.
Acupuncture is a process-oriented method of medical intervention–it is better to do more than less. Successful fertility care is born of a focus on helping the body produce the healthiest eggs, uterine lining and sperm possible. It takes several cycles to prepare your ovaries to produce the highest possible quality eggs. It takes 70–75days for sperm production to be completed.
With an investment of 3 months, acupuncture, naturopathic care and supportive counseling can best influence the quality of egg and sperm production, reduce stress hormones and improve uterine lining quality. Research has shown that this protocol will more than double your chances of conception.
Weekly treatments for three to four months before an insemination, IVF, or donor-egg transfer and on the day of transfer before and after the procedure are recommended. As most miscarriages occur within the first three months of pregnancy, acupuncture and naturopathic treatment should continue through week twelve to reduce risk of miscarriage.
A 2010 study by Rosted et al. of 20 dental patients with moderate to severe anxiety found a significant decrease in anxiety after acupuncture treatment
Rosted et al. (2002) found acupuncture was effective in reducing pain following dental extraction. Acupuncture is effective in the prevention of post-operative dental pain (Lao, 1999)
A 2011 study by Braga, et al. reported that acupuncture significantly reduced the severity of xerostomia
A systematic review by La Touche, et al. (2010) found that acupuncture is an effective treatment for producing analgesic effect in patients with painful TMD symptoms. Myers et al. (2002) found acupuncture to be as effective as conservative treatment for treating chronic facial pain.
Shen et al. (2009) found that subjects receiving acupuncture experienced a significant reduction in jaw pain, jaw/face tightness, and neck pain, and a significant increase in pain tolerance of the masseter muscle
Evidence from case series suggests that acupuncture can
reduce the gagging reflex (Rosted 2006). The use of acupuncture to treat the gag-reflex is considered a quick and
cost-effective adjunctive to dental care.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine(TCVM)can benefit all life stages (juvenile, adult, and senior) and a variety of conditions. Determining and resolving the underlying reasons illness a reoccurring is one of the aspects of TCVM’s approach that can reduce the cumulative effect of chronic illness. Since most pets’ health problems are diagnosed once illness has become very advanced, it’s vital to strive to prevent disease from occurring.
Unlike prescription and over the counter pain medications, acupuncture lacks potential adverse side effects for your pet’s internal organs.
Your pet’s medications or supplements will not adversely interact with acupuncture treatment; therefore it can safely be used to treat a variety of illnesses.
PAIN & INFLAMMATION of joints, muscles and connective tissue: Acupuncture stimulates the release of the body’s own pain relieving and anti-inflammatory substances. Relaxation of muscles at the site of needle insertion and more distant locations body is achieved with veterinary acupuncture treatment, creating both a local and generalized pain relieving effect.
DETOXIFICATION, IMMUNESUPPORT, PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT, CANCER, ALLERGIES, APPETITE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, SIEZURES: Acupuncture improves blood flow and tissue performance, removal of metabolic wastes and toxins, manages serotonin and dopamine, benefits neurological activity and represents one of the most powerful immune-supportive modalities.

Acupuncture is one of the safest forms of medical treatment for animals
Side effects of acupuncture are rare. An animal’s condition may seem worse for up to 48 hours after a treatment as healing is enhanced. Animals may become sleepy for 24 hours. These effects are an indication that physiological changes are developing, and they are most often followed by an improvement in the animal’s condition.
Treatment will vary according to the condition being treated and the number and frequency of acupuncture treatments. The length and frequency of the treatments depends on the condition of the patient and the method of stimulation(dry needle, electro acupuncture, etc.) that is used. A simple acute problem, such as a sprain, may require only a few treatments, whereas more severe or chronic ailments may require more treatments.
