Benefits of Pregnancy Acupuncture
Pre-Birth Acupuncture Program
Our pre-birth acupuncture program, starting from week 36-37, helps prepare your body for labour. Research suggests that women who receive pre-birth acupuncture may experience shorter labours and reduced need for medical interventions.
Weekly treatments focus on promoting cervical ripening, encouraging optimal baby positioning, and building energy reserves for labour.
