Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)

Acupuncture is increasingly recognised as a valuable complement to modern fertility treatments such as IVF and other assisted reproductive techniques.

Many fertility clinics, including Hammersmith Hospital in London, now offer on-site acupuncture services to support patients through their treatment journey.

Some couples choose to have acupuncture sessions before and during IVF to help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall wellbeing throughout the process.

Acupuncture is considered safe to use throughout pregnancy when provided by a qualified practitioner.
