Infertility is listed as one of the world health organization's biggest health concerns across the globe.  In North America, 1 in every 6 women will experience issues with fertility or miscarriages. While treatments such as IVF can be expensive and repetitive, treatments such as acupuncture, osteopathy and naturopathic medicine may allow you to conceive naturally or assist in better results out of your fertility treatment. Our team at Symmetry Wellness Centre looks at every woman’s case separately and develops a treatment plan that targets their specific needs..  

 

Acupuncture has shown to increase a women's fertility and help them convince.  Chinese medicine and acupuncture play an important role in keeping the body healthy and restoring any deficiencies or clearing any excesses that may be a cause of a woman’s infertility. Our acupuncturist, Amanda Hynes, has had great success with her fertility patients.  

 

Osteopathy- Osteopathic treatment combines an extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics to restore structural freedom in the tissues, enhance fluid flow throughout the body and create the optimal environment for nature to take its course. One of the main Principles of Osteopathy is the interrelationship between structure and function. The ability for conception to occur requires the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes to be clear of any lesions. Osteopathic manipulations can help improve the mobility of these structures. Osteopathic treatments are a non-invasive and gentle approach. Our osteopath, Blair Blartlett, conducted his thesis on infertility and found 63% successful results with an average of three treatments.  

 

Naturopathy- some ways your naturopath will address fertility issues will be to determine underlying issues associated with fertility. Our naturopath, Dr. Karen Wallace, will discuss your diet, stress, hormones levels, go over blood work and search for any red flags that could be influencing your health. She will look at your menstrual cycle, help improve the quality of the eggs, and incorporate comprehensive mico-nutrient support.  

 

Many people are going through fertility challenges, and our team will offer specifically designed treatment with care and be supportive for you along the way.   Acupuncture in combination with osteopathic medicine and naturopathic medicine has shown to yield success in conceiving a healthy baby.  We care passionately about continuing to help more families in their journey.
