Is Acupuncture Safe During Pregnancy?
The research says… YES!
You just found out you’re pregnant and now Dr. Google is giving you an exhaustive list of do’s and don’ts. Unsure where to turn? Let us help!
During this time, there can be a lot of confusing information about which over-the-counter medications, foods, and supplements are safe and which should be avoided. Working with a licensed practitioner can help ease some of those worries.
At Vail Valley Wellness, we can treat the symptoms of pregnancy safely and effectively. We even offer a wealth of modalities to go from the very beginning stages of regulating your cycle, through conception, the birth, and the postpartum stages.
As pregnancy progresses, there are protocols to help aid your uterus in preparation for the birth. We also can offer a lot of postpartum support by aiding lactation production, rebuilding the exhausted organ processes in the body, and balancing the flood of emotions. Below are some conditions we see and treat here in the clinic related to pregnancy.
Nausea
Threatened Miscarriage
