Pregnancy and Acupuncture
There is a misconception that acupuncture is not advised for pregnant women. Therefore, during pregnancy, women endure symptoms such as lower back pain, foot pain, morning sickness, common cold, Bell’s palsy and much more, believing that they simply must suffer. Pregnant women in fact, may have a variety of symptoms that can be lessened and/or remedied by acupuncture. Pregnant patients are advised to call and see which acupuncture and other treatments are viable for their own particular symptoms. There are ways to make a pregnancy progress far smoother than one might expect, naturally.
All the points for treatment on pregnant women are mainly located away from the abdomen and around arms, lower legs, hands, feet and ears.
