Prebirth Acupuncture
PreBirth treatment involves a series of four treatments weekly from 36 or 37 weeks to prepare the body for an efficient labor. Points are used according to a woman's constitution and pregnancy history.Our pregnancy massage tables make it possible to receive a comfortable and relaxing treatment providing access to areas necessary for treatment. Our patients often say they haven't been this comfortable in months.
PreBirth Acupuncture Treatments Focus On:
- Ripening the cervix
- Helping mantain the baby in the best presentation for labor
- Promoting optimal energy and stamina for women to enter into labor

- An overall 35% reduction in the number of inductions (for women having their first baby this was a 43% reduction)
- A 31% reduction in the epidural rate
- A 31% reduction in the epidural rate
