Are you having difficulty getting pregnant?
Acupuncture can help you! A healthy lifestyle coupled with
acupuncture treatments can promote fertility in both males and females.
Recently, acupuncture methods for infertility have gained notoriety and have
been featured stories in the news. Studies conducted combining acupuncture
treatments with in vitro fertilization (IVF) have shown close to a 50%
increase in pregnancy rates. Such studies prove that an age-old technique can
enhance the results of today’s techniques. Acupuncture treatments
- Decrease
stress and anxiety associated with advanced fertility treatments
- Increase
blood flow to the uterus
- Decrease
uterine contractions after embryo transfer
- Enhance
implantation of the embryo
- Increase
sperm counts and motility
While going through the course of several fertility treatment
attempts, we used acupuncture treatments in conjunction with ART (assisted
reproductive techniques). And our first attempt at IVF worked! We will never
forget how our acupuncture treatments helped make our dream of pregnancy and
the birth of a healthy baby come true!

Acupuncture helps improve the reproductive functions of both
males and females, thereby promoting conception.
At the age of 33, I was told my eggs were nonexistent or of
poor quality and that we would need an egg donor. After a second opinion, IVF
was attempted for the first time. I began acupuncture treatments 6 weeks
prior to the procedure. Although the IVF failed, I continued with my
acupuncture treatments during the 7 months of waiting and testing. Preparing
to attempt IVF again, we were told our chances were slim. 3 days later we
found out I was pregnant – all on our own! We now have a beautiful 18 month
old and are 10 weeks away from delivering number two. Thanks, Dr. Qin.

After conception occurs, acupuncture can be continued to aid
labor and delivery.
My pregnancy was difficult during the last trimester, with
added complications. Acupuncture treatments helped keep everything in check
and made my first experience with labor and delivery tolerable and quick.

Do you have hot flashes and night sweats? Are you struggling with
“the change”?
Acupuncture can help you! Traditional Chinese Medicine theory
views hot flashes as related to toxic heat in the Liver pathway. The Liver is
responsible for maintaining the flow of Qi energy and Blood within the body.
When energy gets stuck in one place or another along the energy channel,
symptoms will occur: emotions are affected (mood swings, outbursts of short
temper, depression), irregular menstrual bleeding, vaginal dryness, insomnia,
and the feelings of waves of heat. Once the Qi energy is replenished with
acupuncture treatments and dietary modifications, the toxic heat will
dissipate and the intense hot flashes will not occur with such intensity and
leave the woman feeling refreshed. With acupuncture treatments you can:
- Restore
hormonal function
- Reduce
hot flashes and night sweats
- Promote
good night’s sleep
- Manage
your mood swings
- Increase
vaginal moisture
Since I didn’t want to stay on HRT (hormone replacement
therapy), a co-worker referred me to Dr. Qin. Changing my diet along with
acupuncture treatments helped me sleep thru the night and has diminished my
hot flashes. Life is more manageable!

Do fatigue and pain bother you?
Have you been told you have Fibromyalgia?
The good news is that acupuncture addresses the signs and
symptoms of fibromyalgia. Acupuncture looks at the underlying source of the
problem, it does not just soothe over the symptoms of the disease; it treats
the roots of the problem! This disease commonly affects women between the
ages of 20 and 50. A combination of diet, exercise, proper rest, and
acupuncture treatments can help make life more bearable. Symptoms are
relieved through acupuncture treatments with the use of needles placed in the
tender spots as well as other parts of the body. These points help make the
Qi energy flow more smoothly, thus breaking up any blockages that may be
preventing the body from functioning properly. Acupuncture treatments:
- Restore
normal activities
- Decrease
pain
- Regulate
sleep patterns
- Reduce
fatigue
After reading one of Dr. Qin’s articles in a newspaper, I made
an appointment. The quality of my life was so degraded by the constant, near
debilitating pain, and I needed relief soon! Within a few short weeks, I
could touch myself without wincing. After a couple months I no longer cried
while trying to manipulate my computer’s mouse. After 6 months, I forgotten I
ever had fibromyalgia!

Are you aging quickly, and showing signs of it? Bothered by your
wrinkles and lines?
Then cosmetic acupuncture is for you. Everyone wants to feel
good and look good too, but few are willing to experience the expense, pain
and potential side effects involved with surgical face-lifts and/or botox
injections. Acupuncture is safe, virtually painless, and has no side effects
or risk of disfigurement. While facial acupuncture does not produce the
dramatic results seen with cosmetic surgery, it will help the face look
younger, healthier, and more radiant. Eight hundred years ago, this type of
treatment was performed on the royal families of China. In recent years,
patients who have suffered a stroke or an episode of Bell’s Palsy have been
able to improve not only the motor muscle function of their face, but their
facial appearance as well. Facial acupuncture works by making the Qi energy
circulate through the face and the entire body. This relaxes the facial
muscles and stimulates the cells to lay down new collagen fibers under the
skin. Patients will find that cosmetic acupuncture:
- Minimizes
double chin
- Firms
the jowls
- Reduces
frown and laugh lines
- Lessens
bags under the eyes
- Lifts
droopy eyelids
- Diminish
facial puffiness
- Better
facial muscle tone
The facial acupuncture treatment is amazing! I noticed results
instantly. Each treatment was like a mini face-lift. The muscles tightened
dramatically and the results lasted for weeks. After the first treatment my
kids said I looked 5 years younger.
