ACUPUNCTURE & INFERTILITY
Dong Hua, AP, DOM, (MD China)
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Andrea Schmutz RN, AP, DOM
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
The benefits of Acupuncture and TCM in treatment for the infertile couple can be found in early Chinese medical literature dating back to the 11AD. Not only do these techniques assist in regulating the menstrual cycle and invigorating the sperm, but they also serve to enhance the function of the whole body. This "whole body" health approach, in turn, provides a key to unlock unlimited potential in healing.
Nothing is more important than experience...
Our Infertility is program is overseen by Dong Hua, AP, DOM (MD China) who has over 20 years experience in Chinese Medicine, and facilitated by Andrea Schmutz, RN, AP, DOM who has over 10 years experience as a registered nurse. She now specializes in Infertility, Gynecology, and Oncology using TCM here at East West Physicians. Read both of their bios at the Practitioner Page. Our Infertility Program blends the best of east and west, using the "whole body" health approach.

In clinical trials, acupuncture has been shown to significantly increase conception rates and decrease miscarriage rates.
Modern medical technology has shown that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, which can help thicken the uterus lining.
Clinical studies have shown that acupuncture can regulate chemical and hormone levels in the body, which can be particularly useful to women who have chemical imbalances, like high FSH.
Acupuncture and IVF
If this is your first IVF cycle, we recommend you start a month before embryo transfer. With one or two sessions per week, we can help you prepare your body for pregnancy. However, if your previous IVF cycles have failed, you must come in as early as possible before undergoing another cycle. In most of our patients who have experienced failed cycles, there is a major disorder in the body that needs to be treated before they can successfully conceive.
How Many Sessions Will I need?
The length, frequency, and effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for infertility depends heavily on the patient's specific disorder, lifestyle, and overall health. We do understand most of our patients live busy lives and will help you create a schedule based around your menstrual cycle that will optimize the effectiveness of your treatments.
