Acupuncture works by regulating qi and blood flow to support the natural process of pregnancy and has been used for thousands of years. It can also promote hormone regulation during pregnancy and when approaching labor. Acupuncture acts on neurotransmitters that can help reduce pain and relax the nervous system. By helping support hormone balance and nervous system regulation, acupuncture can help with a lot of the challenges that come along with pregnancy. 

Balanced Stone Acupuncture and Wellness provides a holistic and nurturing environment with treatments that wonderfully augment the care provided by your obstetrician or midwife.
