Acupuncture has many benefits for athletes and runners including releasing muscle tightness and trigger points, improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and improving range of motion.  Acupuncture and dry needling also help with common running injuries by addressing the muscle tightness that contributes to the pain.

Many top athletes like Tom Brady and David Beckham use acupuncture to help with their recovery because it helps them recover better and can help prevent injury. Generally, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. It also reduces inflammation and releases muscle tightness that can restrict range of motion. A 2020 study found that besides being helpful for pain control and musculoskeletal conditions, acupuncture can help treat delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), exercise induced fatigue, and performance anxiety issues in athletes.

There are many reasons that support including acupuncture in your recovery routine if you’re a runner or athlete.  If you’re looking to reduce pain, recovery faster, and perform better you should consider adding it to your regimen.

For patients undergoing IVF, acupuncture treatment leading up to your retrieval is intended to balance your hormones and increase nourishing blood flow to your uterus and ovaries.  The pre-transfer treatment is designed to focus on and improve the health of your ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible.  In addition to improving the quality of your eggs and ovaries, acupuncture also helps your uterine lining.  

We recommend that patients follow the female acupuncture protocol for at least 10 weeks prior to starting IVF treatment.  This amount of time helps to increase the chances that the egg and resulting embryo are healthy and that the body can receive the embryo and sustain a successful pregnancy.  The specific acupuncture protocol we recommend during your IVF cycle is described below:

Treatment One: after heavy flow of menstruation

Treatment Two: before egg retrieval

Treatment 3 & 4: Immediately before and after embryo transfer.

Treatment Five:  3-5 days after embryo transfer
