Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture have long been used by millions of people in issues of female and male infertility and reproductive health. The idea of "harmonizing" and "bringing into balance" in TCM is used to deal with problems associated with infertiity.
Women are often physically and emotionally depleted and have constricted energy that causes blockages particularly in the pelvic area. These blockages can present as painful menstrual cramps, endometriosis, fibroids, irregular cycles, polycystic ovarian syndrome and so on. These disharmonies may result in fertility problems by affecting differrent parts of the reproductive cycle. Similar energy disturbances in men may result in poor sperm production, shape or mobility.
At Johal Health Centre we use acupuncture, chinese herbs and meridian massage to nourish, support and strengthen vital organs in order to optimize the possibility of conception. We treat people facing infertility using TCM alone, or in conjunction with other medical interventions. As well, we can help ensure a healthy pregnancy by helping with back pain, breech positon and inducing labor.
