The last trimester of pregnancy is a great time for pregnancy acupuncture treatments. We often treat for body aches and pains like carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and sciatica or to induce labor, treat premature labor or breech position. The last few weeks of pregnancy (starting at week 32) is a great time to start pre-birth acupuncture and preparation for labor and delivery. Having regular pregnancy acupuncture at this time has been shown to significantly shorten labor times. Pain Relief for Labor / Acupressure for Labor Acupuncture offers drug free alternatives for pain relief during labor.
