Acupuncture can help many conditions during pregnancy such as morning sickness, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and to turn a breech baby.

Because acupuncture is a very safe treatment, it is particularly applicable during pregnancy when many other treatment options and drugs are contraindicated. There are however some acupuncture points that are not safe to use during pregnancy, which is why it important to go to a qualified and competent practitioner.

Acupuncture is sometimes used for women who are past their due date or to turn a baby who's breech. Acupuncture is also sometimes used to induce labor and for pain control in pregnancy and to aid postpartum recovery.

Antenatal yoga is also a fantastic way to prepare for giving birth and is a course we offer at Sanctuary Health.
