Third Trimester
Prepare the body for labor and delivery. Helps to alleviate sciatic pain, as well as hip and back pain and helps to reduce stress and anxiety before childbirth.
Acupuncture for Labor Induction
Acupuncture helps prepare your body for labor by causing it to produce hormones that induce labor naturally. Labor induced by acupuncture works to relax muscles and the nervous system to allow your cervix to naturally soften. This natural stimulation of contractions leads to a less painful and stressful labor and delivery.
