Acupuncture at The Wellness Center

Acupuncture complements medical fertility treatments by targeting specific points on the body, including the legs, arms, head, abdomen, and back. The selected points aim to enhance your physical, mental, and emotional well-being before, during, and after fertility treatment.

Fertility Acupuncture Program

Boston IVF is proud to be the only fertility center in New England offering in-house acupuncture treatments that seamlessly integrate with IUI and IVF procedures. Our acupuncture team collaborates closely with Boston IVF clinicians to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your fertility journey.

Acupuncture can offer significant benefits for individuals undergoing fertility treatments. Studies suggest that acupuncture may help reduce stress and anxiety, enhance blood flow to the reproductive organs, and promote an optimal environment for conception. Regular acupuncture sessions before and after IUI and IVF procedures may improve your body’s response to treatment, supporting your physical and emotional well-being throughout the fertility process.

Available seven days a week, 365 days a year, our acupuncture treatments are designed to support you at every step.

About Coordinated Acupuncture Treatments

Coordinated treatments are acupuncture sessions scheduled on the day of an IUI procedure or embryo transfer.

Here’s what it involves:

✓ Arrive one hour early in Waltham for a 30-minute acupuncture treatment at the Wellness Center. The pre-transfer treatment uses acupuncture points that encourage vasodilation and calm your nervous system, which relaxes the uterus to decrease cramping and contractions. The treatment is calming and helps optimize uterine receptivity.

✓ Then, you’ll meet your care team for your IUI procedure or embryo transfer.

✓ Immediately afterward, you will go back to the Wellness Center for a second acupuncture treatment which focuses on relaxing the nervous system and uses acupuncture points to encourage blood flow to the uterus.
