Mon, Tues,Thurs,Fri - 6 Brookland Rd,Henleaze,Bristol. BS67YH

Wednesday- Saltford Surgery, 495 Bath Zita usually encourages her clients to have acupuncture.

Acupuncture can be used for a wide variety of issues including

Anxiety, Stress & Insomnia
Joint and Back Pain
Headache & Migraine
Many other health conditions

Acupuncture has a long and successful history in reproductive medicine. Natural Fertility:
It can be used to help boost female fertility, to prepare the body for conception and pregnancy and to treat underlying conditions such as:
• PolycysticOvarianSyndrome • Endometriosis
• Irregularcycle
It's also good for:
• Relieving stress
• Hormonal imbalances like high FSH
• Boosting the flow of blood to the uterus & ovaries

Improve chances of IVF success:
Acupuncture can also be a valuable complement to lVF, for both men and women, helping to substantially improve the chances of success. Pre & Post Embryo Transfer:
Having acupuncture pre and post embryo transfer can be particularly useful. A recent meta-analysis, published by the British Medical Journal in March 2008, suggests that women undergoing IVF, who also have acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer, have a much higher chance of conceiving than those who don't. This is supported by the most recent audit of Zita West clients. almost 60%" of whom became pregnant after having acupuncture at the Clinic before and after their embryo transfer. Enhance Pregnancy:
Acupuncture can be especially helpful during pregnancy as well. At the Zita West Clinic we usually recommend that mothers-to-be consider having it every four to six weeks. It can be used to help stimulate the flow of blood to the uterus and to help lift your energy levels. lt's great for relieving stress too and for relieving some of the more common ailments of pregnancy like nausea, fatigue or back- ache. It's often used in the last few weeks of pregnancy as well, helping to prepare you for birth. It can be used to help induce labour, or to turn breech babies, and to help with pain relief during the birth. Support Post-Natal Recovery:
And, of course, acupuncture can be used to help new mothers too. The early weeks and months following the birth can be very demanding, both physically and emotionally. A few sessions of acupuncture can be really helpful in relieving backache and exhaustion. lt can help you to relax and rebuild your energy as well.

It’s great Acupuncture is becoming more available in NHS settings. In Bristol you can request a referral to the chronic pain clinic from your GP. You can receive a course of 6 sessions in Southmead hospital. I am on their list of private acupuncturists to have top up treatments if needed after your NHS course.

March is Endometriosis awareness Month Endo can respond well to Acupuncture here’s some research

March is Endometriosis Action Month hosted by .uk

It is reported that Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth in the UK.

A recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Geise et al concluded acupuncture treatment for endometriosis demonstrated clinically relevant improvements in pelvic pain and should be considered as a potential treatment intervention [1].

The British Acupuncture Council's practitioner register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. PSA accreditation means our members are highly trained, and GP referrals for acupuncture treatment might be possible.

If you're living with symptoms of Endometriosis - reach out to a BAcC registered practitioner for more information using the practitioner search tool on our website.

Ear acupuncture - what's the deal? Ear acupuncture also known as auricular acupuncture, has a very interesting history. In the 1950s a French doctor, Paul Nogier, noticed small burn marks in the ears of some of his Algerian patients. These patients had been treated by a lay practitioner called Madam...
