Many people come through our doors because of recent sports injuries and high impact collisions, as well as lingering niggles in the body that have occurred due to years of repetitive movement and strain on the joints. 

Injuries come in all shapes and sizes and can impact only a single part of the body, or a collection of muscles. Contributing factors can involve not warming up appropriately, poor form or accidental collision. 

Full recovery from injury or periods of poor health involves treatment of more than just the specific part of your body that has been damaged. Treating the body and mind as a whole through complementary therapies and natural treatments is a proven way to supplement conventional medication treatment and restore former vitality. 

Acupuncture is a popular natural fertility treatment to support conception. It can be used as an alternative method to more costly treatments like IVF or used alongside them. It can also be used as a way to improve conception in the early stages of parents wanting to have a baby, or integrated into a holistic health treatment plan combining herbal medicine, nutritional counselling and even bodywork techniques.

In short, there’s no specific time that acupuncture should be used to improve fertility, but we discuss this topic in a little more detail to help you decide when it might benefit your own pregnancy plan.

What is known as Chinese herbal medicine has been used for centuries both with China and in many other Asian countries. Today, you’ll find some of the practices and principles of this herbal therapy in places far beyond its place of origin.

Recently, many Western countries like the UK have embraced herbal therapy and are learning to approach health and bodily improvement in a more holistic way, based on ancient medicinal treatments that have long been used to address specific health concerns as well as strengthen and protect the body as a whole.
