Acupuncture during pregnancy

We are also happy to offer you alternative treatment options, including acupuncture.

Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The foundation of TCM is a solid basic knowledge of the ancient Chinese definition of health, illness and pathogenesis. Acupuncture should be seen as a holistic and sustainable form of therapy. It does not act directly on the pain center by applying a therapeutic stimulus, but affects the whole body.

This involves the use of several centimeter-long metal needles, which are fixed to fixed stimulation points on the body. Acupuncture is particularly useful during pregnancy for physical and psychological complaints. Good results have also been achieved shortly before or during childbirth. The whole body and the tissue of the cervix and cervix are prepared for the birth. If acupuncture is used regularly to prepare for birth, the opening period can be shortened.
