Infertility is one of the most painful and isolating experiences a person or couple can go through. The hope, the disappointment, the medical appointments and the toll it takes on your relationship and sense of self can be overwhelming. At Yuan Qi Acupuncture Center in Business Bay, we offer acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as gentle, compassionate, supportive care for men and women facing infertility, walking alongside you and the medical care of your doctor or fertility specialist.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, wellbeing is understood through the smooth flow of Qi and blood and the balance of the body's systems, and treatment always takes a whole-body, individual view. For people going through infertility, our focus is on supporting your wellbeing, helping you feel calmer and more rested, and offering a caring, unhurried space during a difficult time, as a complement to your medical care. We are warm, realistic and honest, and we never make promises about conception.

Acupuncture is used as supportive care to help people going through infertility feel calmer and more supported, by helping to ease stress, support better sleep and settle the nervous system. The infertility journey is emotionally demanding, and the stress and strain can affect how you feel in yourself and in your relationship. By supporting this side of your wellbeing, treatment aims to help you feel more grounded and cared for, alongside your medical care. Many people find the calm, unhurried space of a session a real source of comfort during a hard time.
We are realistic and honest about what this is: gentle support for your wellbeing through the process, not a treatment that changes fertility. Responses and experiences vary from person to person, and acupuncture works best as one supportive part of looking after yourself, alongside the assessment, treatment and advice of your medical fertility team.
One clear and caring note: acupuncture is supportive care, not a treatment for infertility, and it is not a replacement for medical care. Infertility needs proper medical assessment, and both partners should see a doctor or fertility specialist, who can investigate and advise you properly. Acupuncture can sit alongside that care to support your wellbeing and help you feel calmer, and if you are or may be pregnant, please tell us so we can adjust your treatment appropriately.
Infertility affects both partners, and the emotional weight is often shared. We offer supportive, calming acupuncture for men and women alike, focused on wellbeing and stress during the journey. For any specific medical concerns, including male factor concerns such as those identified through a semen analysis, please see a medical specialist; acupuncture here is wellbeing support alongside that medical care, not a treatment for the underlying issue.
Many of the people we see are also having medical fertility treatment, such as IVF or IUI, and are looking for supportive, calming care to help them through it. Acupuncture can sit alongside that treatment to support your wellbeing, and we are always happy to work in a way that fits around your medical schedule and the advice of your fertility clinic.
Fertility and reproductive health cover a lot of ground, and we treat several specific areas on their own pages. If your main concern is one of these, those pages are the best place to start:

Your first visit begins with an unhurried, understanding consultation. We ask about your health, your journey, your stress, sleep and energy, and any fertility care or treatment you and your partner are having. In keeping with Chinese medicine we usually check your tongue and pulse too. We then plan gentle, supportive treatment that fits around your medical care, and there is no pressure at any point.
The needles are very fine, far thinner than the needles used for injections, and most people feel little more than a small pinch. The session is designed to be calm and restful, and you rest with the needles in place for around twenty to thirty minutes. Afterwards we explain what we found and suggest a gentle, realistic schedule. If you are or may be pregnant, always let us know so we can adjust your treatment.
I visited for spinal treatment and I'm extremely satisfied. The massage and cupping really helped my back pain — the therapists are skilled, knowledgeable and gentle.
