Physician Testimonial
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Michael Bennett on a personal and professional basis for the last 6 years, and I can tell you in all honesty that I have never met a gentleman with more integrity and compassion. Consistent with his driven personality, he rapidly became quite simply one of the best practitioners of Eastern Medicine in New York. I have seen what beneficial effects his skills can exert on both fertility and other illnesses, and he is a vital adjunct to the assisted reproductive techniques that I do. I am very proud to call him both a friend and colleague.”

How can acupuncture increase fertility naturally and improve conception rates with IVF?
- Acupuncture helps to improve ovarian function by increasing blood flow to that region of the body.
- Acupuncture increases blood flow to the uterus. Studies indicate that increased blood flow to the uterus can help to promote follicular development and encourage implantation of the embryo.
- Acupuncture increases the rate of conception by a statistically significant margin when used in combination with IVF and is safe natural medicine.
- Acupuncture can help support the body’s response to the hyper-stimulating drugs which may allow for the production of more follicles.
- Acupuncture strengthens the immune system. Since approximately half of chemical pregnancies miscarry, one of the treatment goals is to boost the patient’s immune system using acupuncture.
- Acupuncture treats the root cause of female infertility and many other gynecological conditions that contribute to infertility such as irregular menses, endometriosis and PCOS.
