Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system. In addition to traditional acupuncture, we also offer needle-free laser acupuncture based on the same principles.
In a large prospective randomized controlled study conducted at RMA, laser acupuncture treatment performed pre-and-post embryo transfer during an IVF cycle resulted in a significant improvement in implantation rates compared to traditional needle acupuncture.
Download ResearchAt RMANJ, treatment with laser acupuncture costs $225 and can be conveniently scheduled before and after embryo transfer. Payment is required at time of service, some patients may be able to seek insurance reimbursement.
Traditional acupuncture at RMANJ costs $175 for an initial consultation which includes treatment, with follow-up sessions at $100 each session. Many patients prefer to purchase multiple sessions at a discounted rate, $360 for four treatment sessions, $850 for ten treatment sessions.
