Pregnancy
"Acupuncture is an ideal form of treatment as it offers women drug-free relief for a multitude of problems that can arise during pregnancy and childbirth. Its use for conditions often regarded as part of a normal pregnancy, for example morning sickness, sciatica and symphysis pubis pain, can not only improve a woman's quality of life but also prevent them from becoming serious enough to necessitate medical treatment." Debra Betts (2006)
Pregnancy symptoms can be quite unpleasant and we at Xinsheng have experience in helping to alleviate.

Prebirth Acupuncture for labour preparation
A series of acupuncture treatments during the final weeks of pregnancy are ideal for preparing the body for an efficient labour and can reduce labour duration. Reports from midwives suggests prebirth acupuncture to soften and dilate the cervix before the beginning of labour. We recommend weekly acupuncture sessions starting from week 36. Moxibustion will be included free of charge if the baby is breech.
Natural induction
Pregnancies often run on overtime and medical inductions will be planned before or around Week 42. Why not try some acupuncture treatment as a natural induction? Inquire for further details on the best time for treatment if your baby is overdue, or book an appointment at least 3 days before the medical induction is planned. Acupressure daily at home too for a stronger effect.

Through out the history of China, herbal medicine has always been the primary choice of treatment during pregnancy.
However due to the current mixed views about the danger of herbal medicine causing damage to the growing foetus, acupuncture will be used as the primary mode of treatment during pregnancy.
Only patients who received treatment prior to conception will continue taking their herbs to the third month of their pregnancy and be given a choice to take herbal medicine again as part of after-birth recovery for one week after delivery of their child.
Our treatments are designed with quality at heart so we allow 60 minutes of undivided attention and the practitioner does not leave the room.
