Acupuncture has been shown to increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to several research studies. From a Chinese medicine perspective, the goal of treating a patient with fertility issues is not just to get pregnant. It is to have a healthy pregnancy and to have a healthy baby.
At the Center for Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine in Santa Monica, Dr. Lin is regarded as one of the leading women’s health specialists in Los Angeles who is trained in Eastern medicine.
During your first appointment, Dr. Lin carefully listens to your needs and health goals. She does a very thorough review of your health history, lifestyle and aspirations. From there, she creates the best integrated treatment plan to support your fertility, healthy pregnancy, and overall wellness goals.
