San Antonio Acupuncture Studio

San Antonio Acupuncture Studio Serving San Antonio, TX with acupuncture treatment for Fertility & IVF, pregnancy, stress and anxiety

Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles, on the body's surface, in order to influence physiological functioning of the body. As the basis of Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese theorized that the body had an energy force running throughout it known as Qi (pronounced 'chee'). A person's health is influenced by the flow of Qi in the body. If the flow of Qi is insufficient, unbalanced or inter

rupted, the body becomes unbalanced, and pain or illness may occur. Qi travels throughout the body along meridians that run up and down the body. Acupuncturists use specific acupuncture points along these pathways to remove blockages within these meridians. The exact mechanism of acupuncture is still relatively unknown, but with modern technology we know that:
1) Acupuncture increases circulation of the body’s fluids which brings more oxygen to tissues
2) Acupuncture stimulates the release of oxytocin, the feel good hormone
3) Acupuncture reduces inflammation
4) Acupuncture reduces cortisol, the stress hormone
5) Acupuncture stimulates the body’s own healing mechanisms so the problem is fixed internally

The most common conditions I treat are pain, allergies, women's health, and stress/anxiety, but acupuncture can treat a variety of different ailments including:

Physical injuries
Pain syndromes
Migraines/ Headaches
Digestive Disorders
Stress, Anxiety, Depression and PTSD
Insomnia
Gynecological disorders (PMS, irregular/painful menstruation)
Menopausal symptoms
Addictions (alcohol, to***co, drug and food)
Low energy and fatigue
High Blood Pressure

.:Today's Acupuncture Tip:.

Staying hydrated is important for your acupuncture sessions BUT drinking too much right before a session may not allow you to fully relax if your bladder is full.

You are always welcome to the WC right before your session to allow for a more dreamy acu-session.

Our Story

For 7 years, acupuncturist Melsa Maher has specialized in acupuncture and herbal treatment for couples trying to conceive either naturally or in conjunction with fertility treatments. Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles, on the body's surface, in order to influence physiological functioning of the body. As the basis of Acupuncture, the ancient Chinese theorized that the body had an energy force running throughout it known as Qi (pronounced 'chee'). A person's health is influenced by the flow of Qi in the body. If the flow of Qi is insufficient, unbalanced or interrupted, the body becomes unbalanced, and pain or illness may occur. Qi travels throughout the body along meridians that run up and down the body. Acupuncturists use specific acupuncture points along these pathways to remove blockages within these meridians.
