Pregnancy

Pregnancy conditions which may be treated include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Pelvic pain
• Other musculoskeletal complaints
• Sciatica
• Mild anxiety and depression
• Acupressure during labour for pain relief

Acupuncture can be used as a routine pre-birth preparation to help promote efficient labour and reduce labour time. It can also be used to induce cervical ripening when a woman's due date has been reached.

Pelvic & Musculo-skeletal pain - the combination of "hands on" treatment such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, appropriate stretches and stabilizing exercises with acupuncture is particularly effective at dealing with pelvic pain in pregnancy.
