Thanks to tcmstudent.com - Here is some great new research information just in…
Data collected by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of
Canada have shown that acupuncture decreases the rate of cesarean
sections. Although the study has not been published the results are
provided on a website -
- An overall 35% reduction in the number of inductions (for women having their first baby this was a 43% reduction)
- A 31% reduction in the epidural rate
- A 32% reduction in emergency cesarean delivery
