Acupuncture is a traditional form of medicine that strives to redress any imbalance of the energy system by the insertion of fine needles into specific acupuncture points around the body. 😮
so they are headfirst. However, in this particular study, acupuncture was also combined with moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine therapy.examined 600 pregnant women and compared those who used acupuncture in labour to those who used other methods.

It's worth noting that not all acupuncturists will want to treat during pregnancy or for fertility/conception issues – but those that do, will have been trained specifically so you will be very safe in their hands. You should always speak with your midwife or doctor beforehand to find out if there are any reasons you should not be trying acupuncture.There are many pressure points to avoid during pregnancy – which is why it is imperative that mums-to-be only seek treatment with a practitioner who is specially trained to treat during pregnancy and who will be fully aware of any acupuncture points to avoid.
Because you should not be applying the treatment to yourself anyway, my advice is to relax and trust your practitioner during the treatment.The best and recommended route to find a registered acupuncturist local to you is viaThe British Acupuncture Council – the UK’s largest, member-led, professional body for traditional acupuncturists.
All members belong to an accredited register, regulated and approved by the Professional Standards Authority for Health & Social Care , which oversees the regulation and registration of healthcare professionals - including statutorily regulated professions, such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
