Pregnancy Symptoms Care with Acupuncture

The use of acupuncture as a complementary approach for pregnancy symptoms care relieves the normal discomforts associated with pregnancy. Pain, allergies, stress, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, headaches and migraines can be effectively managed without any side effects. In addition to treating pregnancy complaints, the endorphins released during acupuncture promotes bonding between the baby and mother and calms the nervous system for both.

Pregnancy Symptoms Care with Therapeutic Massage

Prenatal massage relaxes tense muscles, eases sore spots, improves circulation and mobility and promotes boding between the mother and baby. Carrying a baby changes your center of gravity and puts added stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, so that your pelvic joints are less stable, and changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Prenatal massage at Isthmus is tailored specifically to your individual needs and our specially trained massage therapists adjust their techniques accordingly.

Prenatal massage is recommended from 13-weeks through delivery and at six weeks post-partum
