Why Should You Try Acupuncture For Infertility?
Most women who choose acupuncture are doing it together with traditional infer- tility treatments. But some couples have undergone multiple cycles of IVF or other fertility treatments and nothing seems to be working. Also, fertility treatments can be incredibly expensive. For example, intra- uterine insemination can cost hundreds of dollars and a single cycle of IVF can cost $10,000-$20,000. So couples are looking for other options that could possibly give them a greater chance at success.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are used alongside with IUI and IVF, as well as a stand-alone treatment for infertility. As a licensed Acupuncturist for over 10 years, Dr. Helene Pulnik uses proven acupuncture techniques, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary counseling, vitamins, nu-
tritional supplementation and stress reduc- tion to restore overall balance and overall wellness. Because 40% of infertility can be due to male factors, Dr. Pulnik also treats male partners of women trying to conceive. Restoring balance allows the body’s natural cycles to become more regular, and increas- es the body’s response to IUI and IVF, thus improving fertility.
Dr. Helene Pulnik is a board-certified Natur- opathic Physician, Licensed Acupuncturist and a Registered Pharmacist who holds a Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition. Dr. Pulnik has studied infertility treatment using acupuncture, herbs, nutrition and stress reduction with Dr. Randine Lewis, author of The Infertility Cure. Dr. Pulnik is in private practice at Glastonbury Naturopathic & Acupuncture Center, in Glastonbury, Ct. and is accepting new patients. See ad on page 28.
