Acupuncture for Pregnancy and Postpartum Care in NYC

While pregnancy is such an exciting time, it can come with physical and emotional challenges.

Acupuncture can be a gentle, nurturing way to support your body throughout pregnancy, backed by a growing body of research. Studies suggest it may help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and support hormonal balance—helping to ease common symptoms like nausea, fatigue, back or pelvic discomfort, and sleep challenges. Research has also shown acupuncture can be especially helpful for pregnancy-related nausea and overall well-being in each trimester.

Some common pregnancy symptoms we treat are:

  • Morning sickness

  • Acid reflux

  • Constipation

  • Insomnia

  • Fatigue and low energy

  • Low back, hip, and sciatica pain

  • Carpal tunnel

  • Breech baby/malposition

  • Fetal growth restriction (IUGR)

  • Swelling

Postpartum Care

Acupuncture offers gentle, restorative support as your body heals after birth. It can help with common postpartum concerns like fatigue, pain, sleep challenges, mood shifts, and can also support healthy lactation. We’re here to support you as you move through this new stage of life (even if that means giving you a calming space for a peaceful nap).
