Acupuncture for Fertility
We have been working with patients seeking acupuncture for fertility since 2004. As a highly skilled team of specialized acupuncturists, our goal is to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for your unique fertility challenge.
Our fertility specialists spend time understanding your needs and goals for treatment, and work with your body to create the best possible environment for conception. Where necessary, they collaborate with local reproductive endocrinologists to ensure you receive customized, complementary care. Your team is aligned to increase the odds of conception, helping you create the family that you envision.
Studies have found that using acupuncture for fertility increases the success rate of fertility treatments including; IVF, intrauterine insemination (IUI) and hormone therapy.
Acupuncture additionally lessens side effects of the treatment. Most doctors agree that patients benefit significantly from integrating the ancient healing effects of acupuncture in conjunction with today’s modern fertility procedures.
Low-cost, painless, and non-invasive, acupuncture facilitates balance, priming the body for peak fertility. It is a viable support therapy for any couple trying to conceive that meets any of the below criteria:
- You are trying to conceive naturally
- You are undergoing IVF or IUI
- You are taking hormonal therapy to assist in getting pregnant
- You have been on birth control

Fertility is a journey.
At Lokahi we find it highly beneficial to have each person involved in the journey undergo treatment. It dramatically reduces the stress and anxiety that goes hand-in-hand with infertility as well as enhances the outcome and the overall experience. Acupuncture also promotes the free flow of the body’s life energy, or Qi, which results in a feeling of well-being and vitality for everyone.
