Infertility is an imbalance in the body’s energy. Traditional Chinese Medicine balances the body’s energy in order to aid infertility patients in achieving a successful pregnancy. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology which are both important in dealing with this internal medical situation.

Infertility is first treated by balancing the female hormonal cycle. Women with PMS (premenstrual syndrome), menstrual pain, bleeding issues, or any cycle imbalances can benefit from treatments. Traditional Chinese Medicine can also help with male causes of infertility. Screening the male partner is important as problems can occur with either or both individuals.
Traditional Chinese Medicine can benefit both partners in this situation.

Acupuncture and herbs are used in all infertility situations both with and without western medical intervention. Using acupuncture along with IVF has been shown to significantly increase the rate of success.

Patients with habitual (or repeated) miscarriage, or a weak constitution can have their bodies strengthened to prevent this problem from continuing to occur. Chinese herbs, as well as acupuncture points, are used to aid the body in its ability to hold the fetus.

Custom herbal formulas are used in many of these situations in order to maximize the benefit for each individual. This is important because patients with the same symptoms have different underlying imbalances. When each patient is balanced their symptoms diminish as their fertility increases.

Infertility is a specialty of Lissa Nirenberg’s. She has done extensive and continuous study in the area to benefit her present and future patients. Continuing treatment during the early stages of pregnancy is strongly recommended to achieve the best outcome for both mother and child.

Pregnancy
Using Chinese medicine during pregnancy can have wonderful benefits. Caution is used during this time to avoid any complications. Keeping a woman healthy and strong can prevent complications and enhance the enjoyment of pregnancy.

Lissa Nirenberg has been treating pregnant women with great success. Treatment aids the mother in having a comfortable pregnancy, minimizing aches and pains as well as morning sickness. Preventing miscarriage and keeping a woman in energetic balance are both important. Specific acupuncture points have been found to enhance the outcome of pregnancy for both the mother and baby. For the healthy woman with a normal pregnancy, one visit per trimester is recommended.

Pregnancy is a time when caution should be used in treating normal life issues. Using Chinese medicine to treat colds, flues, and simple injuries can offer a natural approach during this precious time.
