Acupuncture has been used for hundreds of years in traditional medicine to ease pain and discomfort and treat a variety of ailments. Now, women today are discovering the benefits of using acupuncture for pregnancy.
Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but many women also experience symptoms such as nausea, bloating, muscle aches and tiredness throughout the term of the pregnancy. Acupuncture is a safe and natural way to relieve these symptoms without putting drugs or medications in the body which may be harmful to the baby.
An experienced acupuncturist will use clean, long needles that are inserted at certain pressure points on the body. This has the ability to relieve painful symptoms in the joints, nerves and muscles.
You should let your family doctor or gynecologist know if you are planning to try acupuncture, and only go to a qualified acupuncturist.
