Onsite Treatments for IVF Transfer

Embryo Transfers, IVF, and Acupuncture

One of the things I have the great honor of getting to do as a fertility acupuncturist is to provide on-site treatment for those going through IVF at their clinics on the day of their embryo transfer. Selby Acupuncture has worked tirelessly over the years to build relationships with local fertility clinics and we are so pleased to be able to offer this service in the metro area.

If day of embryo transfer acupuncture is brand new to you, we want to offer you information to learn more about it.  Perhaps you are already aware that onsite acupuncture for your embryo transfer is an option for you, but don’t really understand how it could help. Read on to learn more about these treatments, the protocol we use, the research behind it, and how it works through a Chinese medicine lens. Read More

Navigating Perimenopause with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Understanding Perimenopause

The transitional phase leading into menopause, known as perimenopause, typically occurs in a woman’s 40s to early 50s and can bring a host of changes to a woman’s body around her menstrual cycle. Estrogen and progesterone levels can fluctuate unpredictably, causing irregular cycles, heavier periods, heightened menstrual pain, and hot flashes or night sweats.

Along with these unwelcome physical signs, many women notice uncharacteristic mood swings, increased anxiety, and sleep issues – disruptive and distressing symptoms which leave many women increasingly stressed out and exhausted. While conventional treatments may offer relief, an increasing number of women are turning to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to manage and alleviate these symptoms naturally.
