Can acupuncture and Oriental Medicine be used in conjunction with western based therapies?
Yes, of course. Many patients use acupuncture in conjunction with other assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, ICSI, GIFT, ZIFT, and TET and studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly improve the chances of conceiving with these methods. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can also be used as a stand alone therapy for persons who opt for the least invasive (and least expensive!) treatment options first. This is a personal decision of the parents to be to decide based on their particular situation and beliefs.
