NEW! ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture increases the blood-flow in the ovaries and uterus and for many women it is a soothing and relaxing experience. Several studies have shown that the stimulation of specific points along the meridians of the body with a thin needle increases the pregnancy rate significantly.

We offer acupuncture as an additional treatment especially for our IVF and ICSI patients. The treatment will be performed immediately before and after embryo transfer.
