Acupuncture

Acupuncture increases relaxation and facilitates embryo transfer

Small pokes – large impact

The relaxation gained through acupuncture not only increases the well-being of patients: a study performed at the Wunschbaby Institute demonstrated a significant increase in the probability of getting pregnant as a result of acupuncture treatment. The patients included in the study received acupuncture 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after embryo transfer.

The stomach/spleen pancreas meridian is stimulated during acupuncture therapy, thereby improving blood circulation. Furthermore, the liver/bile meridian and the circulation/sexuality meridian are actively sedated, which positively influences the endocrine system. If desired, all patients undergoing IVF treatment may receive acupuncture from Dr. Fischlmaier at the Wunschbaby Center.
