Acupuncture for Childbirth
The Postnatal Period
In Chinese medicine, the post-natal period is considered to be two years. The first six weeks is a very important time to rest and nourish yourself after the pregnancy and birth, especially with sleepless nights and breastfeeding requirements. Treatment is particularly recommended if you have had a long or difficult labour.
During the first 6 weeks, we offer home visits at no extra cost to ease your ability to continue having treatments.
Post-natal conditions that can respond well to acupuncture include:
- Mastitis
- Tiredness
- Excessive bleeding
- Depression
- Haemorrhoids
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Emotional sensitivity
- Backache
