For women struggling to conceive, conventional fertility treatments can be effective, but many women look to alternative therapies such as acupuncture to enhance the effects. Acupuncture is proven to support fertility naturally. At Herb + Ōhm acupuncture clinic in Chicago, we specialize in acupuncture for fertility, customizing treatment plans to support each woman's individual journey to conceive. Acupuncture can enhance reproductive health by balancing hormones, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving the success rates of fertility treatments.

Below is one Herb + Ōhm Chicago patient's story about how acupuncture supported her through fertility treatment:

"I was undergoing fertility treatment and was recommended to explore acupuncture as a way to support the process. I was also experiencing some thyroid issues and back pain. I was a mess. I think the biggest change has been just reducing anxiety and stress going through the fertility process. There’s just a lot of things that go through your head, and going through the treatment really helped me to relax. I noticed I slept a lot better when I did come to treatment just improving how I felt and feeling like I’m supporting the whole process through IVF. Dr Amy is amazing. She’s very attentive and really focuses on individualizing her treatment plan and really checking in every time I see her, adjusting based on what I’m feeling body wise, mentally. I really appreciate that.

And similarly, it's just a really welcoming and warm environment whenever I’m here. I feel like the whole team [is] really warm and attentive and make sure that I’m, you know, taken care of throughout the whole process. I would 100 percent recommend to explore it as an option to support the fertility treatment IVF process. It’s just really complementary and helps aid a lot of what you’ll be going through, helping you relax and support your body through the process."
