Natural Pregnancy Support
We offer natural, drug-free relief from many common complaints during pregnancy such as morning sickness, pain, high blood pressure, insomnia, and breech presentation. You can be assured that our treatments are safe, effective, and based on specialized training and experience.
Natural, drug-free pregnancy support
Our natural pregnancy support program is offered as a complement to conventional medical care for common issues during pregnancy. Using the drug-free, natural treatments of Acupuncture and targeted nutritional support, most of our pregnant patients report significant relief from nagging symptoms, and are able to reduce or eliminate prescription drugs.

We have experience treating pregnant women with these and other conditions:

  • Natural labor induction using acupuncture
  • Morning sickness
  • Back and hip pain
  • Migraine
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Insomnia
  • Fatigue
  • Anxiety
  • Malposition of fetus (i.e. breech position)
  • Threatened miscarriage (spotting / cramping during pregnancy)
Ensuring a Healthy Pregnancy
Traditional Chinese Medicine provides a complete and effective framework to support and stabilize your pregnancy. With hundreds of Acupuncture and herbal protocols at our disposal, we can tailor a treatment plan designed to ensure optimal health during your pregnancy and to correct any disharmony that may be causing problems. Acupuncture does not conflict with conventional medical treatment, and can serve as an effective complement to the recommendations of your OB/GYN. In fact, many OB's in Houston refer their patients to us for supportive care in resolving pregnancy issues.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have been used for centuries to treat pregnancy related problems. The treatment strategies we employ to help you are designed to ensure all of the basic requirments for a healthy, problem-free pregnancy:

  • Adequate blood flow - Nourishes your baby, prevents blood clotting, and ensures maximum nutritive capacity of your blood
  • Constitutional support - Ensures good digestion, healthy metabolism, and strong holding capacity of the Uterus
  • Freedom from obstructions - Keeps toxins from building up in the body, and maintains healthy weight
  • Proper diet and eating habits - Ensures you are eating the right foods for your constitution, and eating at the right times for optimal health and wellness
Miscarriage Prevention
By addressing all of the fundamental components of health during your pregnancy, Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are a potent system of miscarriage prevention. In fact, in our patients we see a very low rate of miscarriage, even those who have used IVF or other assisted reproduction techniques, where the miscarriage rate is generally higher than the norm. We know this is because our patients are going the "extra mile" to maintain and optimize their health and wellness, especially during the critical first trimester.

It is important to remember that not all miscarriages are your fault! In approximately 60% of early miscarriages, the problem is a genetic anomaly or other issue with the baby, not the mother's inability to carry the baby. This is simply nature's way of dealing with the problem of a baby that will be incapable of survival outside the mother's womb. It is natural, and more common that you might think.
