Being pregnant is a joyous time in a women’s life. But that bundle of joy can cause some aches and pains. Many times, mothers are limited to the number of Western pharmaceuticals and treatment options.   Acupuncture can provide relief in many areas, including:

·         Nausea (morning sickness)

·         Edema

·         Aches and Pain

·         Indigestion

·         Stress

·         Fatigue

In fact, a recent study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology shows that one week of continuous auricular acupuncture significantly decreases the pain and disability experienced by women with pregnancy-related low back and posterior pelvic pain.
