I’ve had experience with thousands of patients who have gone to ART clinics throughout the five boroughs, and I am familiar with each clinic’s individual strengths. This helps me guide couples in the right direction to reach their goals faster. If you decide to continue with TCM, we can cover next steps and create a schedule, starting with a 3 month plan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621372828501-6VPDJNWR0NJ4I86KI2J4/Acupuncturist+hand+taking+a+pulse About - When it comes to pregnancy, I look at the larger picture, from conception through birth.

Treatment can also decrease the side effects of fertility medications and address uterine spasms that may occur after your IUI procedure. Your plan will be tailored according to your cycle, with a focus on regulating ovulation and balancing your hormones. Ideally, treatment should begin one-to-three months prior to the IUI to help improve the quality of your eggs and bring your body into balance. However, if starting this early is not an option, you can begin treatment at any point during the cycle. Whenever possible, treating both partners is best. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621436521957-9NKAC1S1U9SOIILM2ZSC/Ancient+Chinese+statues+of+male+figure+and+female+figure+with+acupuncture+points Fertility Services - Acupuncture and IVF Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621376556659-AK3VETOLOM9NATTNI2GE/Acupuncturist+inserts+needles+into+patient%27s+abdomen Fertility Services - Acupuncture and IVF Transfer Appointments (Before & After) Research has demonstrated increased success rates for IVF when acupuncture is administered around the time of transfer because of its ability to increase blood flow to the uterus, regulate hormone levels, reduce contractions, and balance the nervous system. Christiane recommends a 30-minute treatment within 24 hours of your transfer. This appointment will include acupuncture and may include other modalities such as cupping or electrical stimulation. Some acupuncture points will focus on calming your nervous system, which also relaxes the uterus and helps decrease cramping and contractions. Other points will help improve circulation of blood to the uterus to create a thicker uterine lining. Within 24 hours after your embryo transfer, it is recommended you receive another 30-minute TCM treatment. This treatment will also focus on relaxing your nervous system and circulating additional blood to your uterus to help prevent contractions, nourish the newly-implanted embryo, and improve the chances of a successful implantation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621376439493-C43B5ID6DQCVTBJOJ9HW/Burlap+sack+filled+with+chicken+eggs Fertility Services - Acupuncture and Egg Freezing Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-21 https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/pregnancy-services daily 0.75 2023-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621437745294-QYGLXIYGKU8FA0GKTFQJ/Traditional+Chinese+Medicine+herbs+in+bowls+and+acupuncture+needles+laid+on+rock+on+tabletop Pregnancy Services - What to Expect: Christiane will conduct a thorough intake and ensure you feel comfortable with the treatment plan before progressing.

When used to turn a breech baby, moxa is heated close to the skin of the fifth toes of both feet for around 15-20 minutes. This heats the receptors on the skin of the toe, encouraging the release of two pregnancy hormones: placental estrogen and prostaglandins, which lead to uterine contractions and encourage the baby to move. Treatment usually begins between weeks 30 and 37 of pregnancy. When coming in for treatment specifically to turn a breech baby, Christiane uses moxa as well as some acupuncture needles and light electrical stimulation to the fifth toe on each foot, the same place where moxa was burned. You will receive instructions and your own smokeless moxa sticks to continue the treatment at home twice a day for seven days or up until the baby turns. https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/covid-guidelines daily 0.75 2023-03-07 https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/tools daily 0.75 2023-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621376556659-AK3VETOLOM9NATTNI2GE/Acupuncturist+inserts+acupuncture+needles+into+patient%27s+abdomen Acupuncture Tools - Acupuncture Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621377143395-0KQ1506CLZ83IQXHYYID/Wooden+plate+filled+with+Chinese+medicinal+herbs+on+paper+with+Chinese+characters Acupuncture Tools - Herbs Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621377180558-X0R3MGJF0WMRU9D28FBB/Practitioner%27s+hand+using+flat+stone+tool+on+patient%27s+shoulder Acupuncture Tools - Gua sha Used throughout East Asia, Gua sha is a TCM technique used to help stimulate blood stagnation, increase circulation, regulate organ and metabolic function, reduce stress and fatigue, and ease musculoskeletal discomfort and sports-related injuries. During a Gua sha treatment, Christiane uses a round-edged instrument to apply concentrated strokes of light to medium pressure. Redness on the skin associated with treatment typically fades after a few days. Common areas treated include the neck, shoulders, back, and limbs, though Gua sha is also used on other areas of the body, including the face, to support circulation and increase skin elasticity and firmness. Its ability to produce an anti-inflammatory and immuno-protective effect can help alleviate upper respiratory issues and acute and chronic internal organ disorders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621440633165-HRO2RFJ9GVAQ6Z730H62/Practitioner+holding+smoking+moxa+stick+over+patient%27s+shoulder Acupuncture Tools - Moxa Moxibustion is a method of heating specific acupuncture points by burning an herb, mugwort (Artemisia vulgaria), close to the skin. Any type of heat applied to the body can increase the flow of qi and blood, but the properties of mugwort are particularly beneficial. Moxa can help strengthen the organs and immune system and can be used alone or in combination with acupuncture. Moxa is particularly beneficial for gynecological conditions, used to treat heavy menstrual and uterine bleeding and to increase blood circulation to the pelvic area to treat menstrual pain. It is also used to turn breech babies into the head-down position before childbirth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621377261954-SP6BC92VXQOQHXWU57AL/Practitioner+using+blue+silicone+cupping+tool+on+patient%27s+upper+back Acupuncture Tools - Cupping Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1621377290290-Q5TWK7U1HGZPSEQL4R9U/Small+wires+clipped+to+acupuncture+needle+in+patient%27s+lower+back Acupuncture Tools - Electrical Stimulation Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/referrals-list daily 0.75 2021-09-03 https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/sports-medicine-acupuncture daily 0.75 2023-01-25 https://www.mauroacupuncture.com/pricing daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/43c7f268-2cd9-4f35-b560-bd02fb3bf359/Screen+Shot+2019-02-02+at+3.38.33+AM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6091b16f697238238916b5e0/1680807722515-VBG9K7XU0REW37FRWJL5/unsplash-image-ubeslMfS1lk.jpg
