Fertility & IVF Acupuncture — Asheville & Greenville
At our clinics we provide evidence-informed fertility acupuncture designed to sit side-by-side with modern reproductive endocrinology care. Because we practice inside the CCRM Greenville office and work closely with fertility teams, patients receive an integrated, “vouched-for” experience: a skilled, supportive acupuncture practice that complements medical protocols for IUI, IVF, and other assisted reproduction services.
What we treat — holistically and medically aligned
We support people pursuing pregnancy for a wide range of reasons: general fertility optimization, IUI and IVF cycle support, and targeted care for common fertility-related conditions including PCOS and endometriosis. Our approach addresses hormone balance, cycle regulation, pain and inflammation modulation, and nervous-system calming — all tailored to the individual presentation and the medical timeline of care.
IVF and IUI: phase-specific acupuncture plans
We structure care around each phase of the cycle so acupuncture is clinically useful and schedule-friendly for patients:
· Stimulation phase: Treatments focus on moderating the stress response, reducing anxiety, and supporting egg quality and ovarian responsiveness through individualized point selection and lifestyle recommendations. Our goal is to keep the body calm and metabolically balanced throughout medication protocols.
· Post-retrieval recovery: After egg retrieval the body needs focused support for healing. Treatments aim to reduce local trauma, improve circulation, minimize discomfort, and stabilize the nervous system in the 4–14 day recovery window.
· Transfer day: We follow protocols used in clinical trials that reduce uterine contractions and promote uterine receptivity. Patients are typically seen the morning of transfer and shortly after the procedure to maximize implantation support.
· Two-week wait & early pregnancy: Acupuncture during the waiting period emphasizes emotional resilience, stress regulation, and physiologic stabilization. Early-pregnancy treatments focus on supporting the transition and — based on pilot research — may contribute to a lower risk of early loss when used alongside medical care.
PCOS & endometriosis — focused protocols
Polycystic ovarian syndrome and endometriosis are among the most common contributors to infertility. For PCOS we emphasize protocols that support insulin sensitivity, hormone regulation, and cycle regularity. For endometriosis we prioritize pain reduction, local inflammation modulation, and improved pelvic circulation — always coordinating with the patient’s reproductive endocrinologist to ensure treatments complement any medical plan.
Male fertility support
Fertility is a two-person process. We offer dedicated protocols to support sperm quality and reproductive health in men — addressing oxidative stress, circulation, lifestyle factors, and stress regulation. These treatments are integrated with our Men’s Suite resources and can be scheduled independently or alongside a partner’s cycle care.
Why being inside the clinic matters
Being embedded within a fertility clinic gives us practical advantages: immediate communication with reproductive endocrinologists, faster coordination around critical cycle dates, and the credibility that comes from working shoulder-to-shoulder with the medical team. That alignment makes our care not only supportive but strategically timed to reinforce clinical goals.
Research-minded, individualized care
We combine trial-based transfer protocols with individualized point prescriptions and lifestyle recommendations. Every treatment plan begins with a focused intake, timeline mapping (medication dates, retrieval, transfers), and measurable goals — so acupuncture is deployed where it has the highest potential impact.
Practical details & next steps
Whether you’re pursuing IUI or IVF, managing PCOS or endometriosis, or interested in male fertility optimization, our team will design a clear, phase-aware plan that fits your clinic schedule. If you’d like, we’ll collaborate directly with your reproductive endocrinologist to ensure treatments dovetail with medical protocols.
