Can acupuncture help with the prevention of miscarriage?
It is estimated that over 50% of miscarriages are due to chromosomal abnormalities, but where this is not the case, acupuncture can ensure a woman is in the best possible state to avoid a potential miscarriage. Once a pregnancy has reached 12 weeks, the chance of miscarriage is 5%. Acupuncture is also successful at preventing future miscarriages in patients who have had recurrent miscarriages.
