What Is It?
This specialised treatment is an ancient Chinese therapy catered to ease pregnancy-related discomforts and promote overall well-being.
It involves the insertion of single-use thin needles into specific points depending on your current health condition and stage of pregnancy.
In fact, The acupuncturist will likely choose different acupuncture points at every session. This is based on what emerges from the conversation at the beginning of every treatment.
