Testimonials

“Hey Dr. Tory, this was the first cycle in over a year that I haven’t had extreme cramps, heavy bleeding, and had to miss work because I felt so awful! The cramps were actually manageable this time, I didn’t get a killer headache, and the bleeding was less clotty. I’m feeling hopeful that with your help my PMS and cycles will keep getting more normal!” -N.B.

“Good morning Tory, my hot flashes have decreased significantly! And I don't use that word lightly. I did not have a noticeable hot flash after my treatment yesterday until about 4 pm and then it was much weaker than usual and lasted only 10-15 seconds. During the night I noticed occasional warmth, but I only had to remove the covers 3 times. Even the night sweats weren’t as intense as usual!” -W.H.

“The morning sickness eased off after our treatment and I actually felt hungry for the first time in weeks and was able to keep food down!” -M.A.

Most of our fertility patients continue care throughout their pregnancy so they have minimal morning sickness, uncomplicated pregnancies, minimal aches and pains, on time delivery, and healthy postpartum for mom and baby!

While acupuncture has a stellar reputation in this area, we choose not to provide this service. For safety reasons, attempts to turn your baby should be done in a hospital or OB clinic setting where the baby's heart-rate can be monitored.

Nothing we do is forceful or overly-stimulating so we prefer to call our treatments "birth facilitation," which send gentle signals to the body that it's time (based off due date or the OB's ok - all our pregnant women must also be under the care of a licensed OB or Midwife). These acupuncture treatments are not to be confused with medical inductions that occur with pitocin at the hospital. Just as conception has no fixed timeline, neither does welcoming your little one into the world. At this time, birth facilitation treatments are offered only to our established patients who have been working with us throughout their pregnancy.
