Acupuncture is the ancient Chinese practice of inserting tiny sterile needles in specific points on the body to manipulate the flow of energy or Qi.  When your body is healthy this energy flows freely, but if there are blockages of this energy you may experience symptoms.  The goal of acupuncture is to clear the blockages to allow this energy to flow freely again to address your symptoms and maintain optimal health.  This unique treatment aims to get to the root of the problem and can often provide results when traditional treatment approaches cannot.

 

During pregnancy and postpartum our Qi can become blocked because of the changes that our body goes through.  This can lead to some of the very common symptoms associated with the prenatal and postpartum periods.
