Postnatal

The post-natal period can be a particularly vulnerable time in which the mother is often overlooked as all the attention goes to the child. In many cultures this period of time is considered vital to help the mother regain her strength. It is often said that if a woman loses her energy at this time it will take years to correct itself. However, if she looks after herself well and is cared for by those around her it will protect her from illness in the future.

We can help with that fragile time, and treat a wide range of conditions such as post-natal depression, insufficient lactation, wound and scar tissue repair, and urinary incontinence.

Many studies have been carried out examining the effectiveness of treating depression and anxiety with acupuncture. They show acupuncture consistently resulting in significant improvement in these conditions. Studies include Luo et al 1985 and 1990, and Yang et al, 1994.
