Acupuncture During Pregnancy
If you live in the Dallas area and are suffering from unpleasant symptoms during pregnancy, acupuncture could help. During this delicate time when your body is responsible for carrying another life, you want to maintain a pure environment – free from any unnecessary medications that could be passed to your baby. Acupuncture is a safe, all-natural, drug-free method of treating expecting mothers.
Traditional Chinese Medicine can help treat the following conditions:
Breech Presentation
The malpresentation of a fetus can lead to much anxiety in an expecting mother as it often denotes a necessary cessation section if not corrected. Moxibustion is a popular form of increasing the body’s natural flow of energy at a certain point. Administering Moxa opens up the uterus to make more room for the breech baby to turn. This helps to increase fetal movement, and the effect of gravity will encourage the heaviest part of the baby, the head, to enter the pelvis as it shifts its position. While only the baby can move the baby, moxibustion set an optimal environment for such a movement to occur. This treatment is most effective if administered around the 34th week of gestation.
Labor Preparation
Acupuncture treatments are very effective at preparing a woman’s body for labor and help to make the process shorter and smoother. It works to help relax the sinews through softening and ripening the cervix while encouraging the baby to begin to descend into an optimal position. It helps to balance the woman’s body and reduce stress hormones that may slow labor initiation.

Success Stories: Pregnancy
“While I was 18 weeks pregnant, I started suffering from really sharp round ligament pain. Nothing could relieve me, I was totally depressed. I made my own research online and discovered Dr Carlson's clinic. She really is my lifesaver! We began with a weekly appointment, it was a miracle! The pain decreased a lot, I was not feeling depressed anymore, my transit was much better too. Dr Carlson really listens to your needs with patience and comprehension.”

Is Acupuncture Right For You?
For more than 4000 years, acupuncture has proven effective in treating the symptoms and addressing the root cause for many problems.
From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating parts of the brain to release natural biomolecules such as neurotransmitters, vasodilators and hormones. Scientific research shows that these biomolecules trigger the immune system and pain regulating mechanisms resulting in a broad spectrum of systemic effects. Studies done through Neuroimaging, Thermal Imaging, and Ultrasound prove the effects of acupuncture are beneficial.
