FERTILITY AND PREGNANCY

Marcy White has 20 years of experience in treating fertility with acupuncture. She specializes in assisting women undergoing assisted reproductive therapies such as IUI and IVF, as well as those trying to conceive naturally. Marcy built relationships with numerous clinics in the Boston area, including CCRM, MGH, Boston IVF, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. She regularly consults with CCRM to create the best treatment plans possible for her patients.

If you are struggling to conceive, acupuncture can be of great benefit. Chinese medicine and acupuncture can restore balance to your reproductive and endocrine systems. Specifically, acupuncture can assist with increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, improving uterine lining and egg quality, regulating menstruation and ovulation, helping with implantation by reducing uterine spasms, and decreasing the body's stress response. Marcy also works with male patients to improve sperm count, motility, and quality.

Pregnant women can find relief from morning sickness and fatigue in the initial stages of pregnancy with acupuncture. In the second and third trimesters, acupuncture can be used to treat acid reflux, high blood pressure, edema, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and back pain, and can assist in turning a breech baby.

Marcy also uses low-level laser therapy to treat infertility issues. Recent research in Denmark and Japan shows good outcomes for improving egg quality in natural and IVF cycles using low-level laser therapy. Marcy is one of the only acupuncturists in North America using low-level laser therapy to assist women with egg quality issues.
