Acupuncture & IVF Clinic in Greece

Acupuncture & IVF Clinic in Greece Georgette Young, DAOM, L.Ac., is an assisted reproductive acupuncturist on staff at the Pelargo IVF Clinic in Athens, Greece. Welcome!

We specialize in medical tourism for international patients and offer concierge-style health care. Choosing a healthcare provider is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want someone who is caring, knowledgeable, and accessible. Someone willing to take the time to go over all of your options and treat you as a person, not just a patient. At our practice, we pride ourselves on our "patient-centered" service. We offer a knowledgeable staff, safe and proven procedures, and the latest in integrative, alternative, and complementary medicine. We've created this information sheet for both new and current patients who are contemplating adding East Asian Medicine and Acupuncture treatments with Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Research has shown that Acupuncture can be a useful tool for improving pregnancy rate after ART. This finding was originally published in Fertility and Sterility in 2002 by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Since then, more research has surfaced showing that combining Chinese medicine and acupuncture can also reduce stress and anxiety, improve uterine lining measurements, improved egg quality and s***m motility, as well as the effects of improved ovarian reserve. We, at our clinic, are happy to be part of your ART Journey!

Fertility…How Acupuncture Combined with ART Can Help!

The treatment of infertility with acupuncture with Traditional Medicine dates back thousands of years ago.

These ancient, time tested techniques and modalities have long been known to improve fertility rates and support a woman’s whole body, unlocking unlimited potential for health, healing, and childbearing.

Today, more contemporary studies reported by The American Pregnancy Association suggest that the most effective fertility treatments involve a combination of traditional acupuncture and western orthodox medical interventions.

Researchers from the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed recent studies and concluded that acupuncture helps to:

• Increase blood flow to the uterus, which improves chances of an o**m implanting on the uterine wall.

• Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a key role in fertility.

• Reduce anxiety and stress. Hormones secreted during stressful situations can decrease fertility.

• Decrease cortisol and reduce stress levels to improve LH and progesterone production to develop fertile cycle dynamics

• Thicken uterine lining to encourage implantation at time of transfer and into early pregnancy

• Decrease uterine cramping to encourage implantation and reduce miscarriage of the transferred embryo/embryos

• Normalize hormone and endocrine systems that regulate ovulation, especially in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.

• Regulates the menstrual cycle.

In 2008 The British Medical Journal published research which conducted that acupuncture can be offered as significant clinically relative adjunct to IVF, relaxing the uterus and increasing the blood flow for the successful implantation of an embryo within the uterine lining.
