There is always a large emphasis on the conception phase of fertility, giving the impression that it is plain sailing once you are pregnant, as you embark on your nine month voyage of ‘glowing’ pure bliss. However, for many being pregnant is like training for a marathon for the first time, a time filled with excitement, anxiety, low energy, insomnia and 24 hours of nausea.

Acupuncture can be a great solution for many of the common complaints that crop up during pregnancy, offering the choice of drug free treatments. Some of the common ailments that we treat in clinic include: nausea and vomiting, constipation, low energy, insomnia, anxiety, pelvic pain, and breech presentation. Chinese Medicine places a large emphasis on preparing the mother’s body for labor.

Treatments work by rebalancing and realigning imbalances within your body, supporting the body's natural self-repair mechanisms to fully function.

Chinese Medicine can appear complex and difficult to comprehend at first, but it is one of the oldest continuous systems of medicine in history. Going through this wonderful natural process with a natural medicine to support you is simply worth its weight in gold.

HOW IT WORKS

Chinese Medicine focuses on the processes of the human body as an energy system. Health and well-being rely on the smooth and dynamic flow of energy or Qi through the body. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s ability to self-heal by correcting imbalances such as deficiencies, stagnations and excesses. There are 14 organ related energy channels in the body which are called meridians. During an acupuncture treatment, various points along these meridians, are identified and prescribed in your treatment plan to treat your specific needs.

Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites-commonly referred to as acupuncture points. These points have high concentrations of nerve endings, mast cells, lymphatics and capillaries, all capable of triggering biochemical and physiological changes in the body. When a needle is inserted into an acupuncture point, it stimulates the sensory receptor and sets off a chain reaction, kick starting a complex system of interactions between the brain, hormones and glands. This system is a powerhouse responsible for regulating a number of bodily processes.

At our Escapada TCM Health Clinics, we seek to treat both the symptoms and root of your ailment using different treatment modalities such as Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Cupping, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Lifestyle and Diet Advice in order to heal the body from the inside-out.
