It also reduces the effects of gynaecological issues, stress and is good for the side effects of hormonal treatments. Specific treatments are used at specific times during your fertility cycle to enhance your chances.

Testimonials
‘I first went to see Richard, when I was 38, on recommendation from a friend who also had fertility problems but went onto conceive naturally after being treated by him. I started having regular sessions when I was undergoing IVF treatment. As one of our issues was male factor, I persuaded my husband to be treated as well, even though he was needle phobic! Just after 1 session, my husband's count trebled and the morphology motility rates improved too. We were lucky enough to conceive via frozen embryo transfer in 2006.
In 2008 we tried for a sibling for our son and I had a few more sessions with Richard. My husband was also treated, and after just 1 session, we managed to conceive naturally. Our daughter was born in July this year.
We found Richard to be professional and courteous at all times & would highly recommend him - the results speak for themselves!’ – Ronnie
‘I decided to see Richard for acupuncture treatment after discovering that I had fertility issues - 10 million sperm count, 5% motility, 96% abnormal forms.
From the initial consultation I have found Richard to be an exceptionally personable man. He instantly put me at ease and has really helped me to make sense of the position I found myself in. He also has been able to clearly communicate the complexities of the treatment in a way I can understand.
I have now had six sessions, all of which I have come away from feeling increasingly more positive about my situation. My latest semen analysis results show what I consider to be an incredible improvement - 44 million sperm count, 68% motility and 72% abnormal forms, which is considered to be ‘normal’.
I am in no doubt that acupuncture combined with a healthy lifestyle is an extremely effective process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard or indeed using his services to treat other issues.’ – Nick
