Increase Fertility
Acupuncture Helps Phoenix Couples Conceive!

The newest pregnancy rates recorded by ilumina Healing Sanctuary aren't just one hit wonders, they're more like the wave of the future.

ilumina Healing Sanctuary announced that they recorded well over 30 pregnancies from the first of January through mid June for a third year in a row. Patients visit the center to seek treatment for infertility or similar diagnosis. Between 2007 and 2008 they confirmed over 70 pregnancies on average per year. Most of these patients sought out ilumina Healing Sanctuary after failed attempts of conceiving, or to increase their chances of successful in vitro fertilizations.

ilumina Healing Sanctuary has been in business since 1999 under the direction of founder and owner Dr. Dana Price, DOM. Dr. Price along with licensed acupuncturist, Sherri Taylor, offer acupuncture and herbal treatments for men and women seeking alternative medicine for conditions ranging from allergies, chronic pain, diabetes, anxiety, depression, hypertension to menopause, infertility and endometriosis.

The clinic specializes in women's health with an emphasis on fertility enhancement. Both Price and Taylor are the only licensed acupuncturists in the state of Arizona to be certified by the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine. They also work closely with reproductive Endocrinologists to complement infertility treatments and assist patients with acupuncture sessions before and after IVF's.

 

Dr. Price notes "independent studies as well as our experience have shown that acupuncture helps a woman's body prepare for conception and pregnancy. In case of IVF's, particularly during the weeks leading up to an IVF procedure, acupuncture increases the chances of getting pregnant dramatically."

So far clinical research indicates higher pregnancy rates among patients having undergone acupuncture in conjunction with biomedical treatments. A renowned study led by the Christian Lauritzen Institute in Germany found a correlation between acupuncture and pregnancy success rates among female patients. In this study two sets of groups were monitored. Both groups were undergoing in vitro fertilization or a form of medically aided pregnancy. One group, however, received acupuncture treatments and surprisingly recorded a 42.5 % pregnancy rate while the other group recorded a 26.5% pregnancy rate.*

Dr. Price concludes "Having helped this many patients fulfill their dreams of conceiving a child against quite a few odds is a great success not only for the parents to be, but for me as well," she then adds "many patients come here sometimes in desperation, even traumatized and I think that our care and our unique personal approach lifts these barriers of fear and frustration and promotes and supports the healing process. Let's see what the rest of the year has in store for us."
