MFS always seeks to enhance its range of services and now offers both acupuncture therapy and<br />
ante-natal scanning at the unit for the benefit of MFS patients, before, during and after<br />
conception.<br />
Acupuncture<br />
Acupuncture is at the forefront of the rapid<br />
growth of complementary therapies in the UK.<br />
As practiced by members of the British<br />
Acupuncture Council (BAcC), it is an holistic<br />
approach to health based on more than 2,000<br />
years of development and refinement in the<br />
Far East. The tradition is as much about the<br />
maintenance of general health and well-being<br />
as the management of a particular condition<br />
and a number of studies have suggested that<br />
acupuncture around the time of embryo<br />
transfer may improve success rates in IVF<br />
cycles. In addition it may be useful in managing<br />
stress associated with sub-fertility and fertility<br />
treatment.<br />
The acupuncture service at MFS is provided by<br />
June Powell, a member of BAcC, and is<br />
available on Thursdays at MFS and by<br />
arrangement at another time or venue. To<br />
make an appointment contact her on 07860<br />
168254 or 01295 738644.<br />
