Our Program Boosts Fertility
Starting a family is exciting, but struggling to conceive can bring frustration, helplessness, and overwhelm. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can support you at any stage—whether you’re trying naturally, facing infertility challenges, or undergoing ART. Our integrative, research-backed approach helps restore balance and supports your fertility goals.
The 100 days before conception, natural or IVF, are key to optimizing fertility for both partners.
Through our comprehensive Fertility Audit, we identify and address the underlying causes of infertility with a patient-centered approach that treats the whole person, not just symptoms. Our recommendations focus on optimizing egg and sperm quality and enhancing uterine receptivity, helping you achieve peak fertility naturally or through IVF.

The Impact of Acupuncture Treatment for IVF/IUI Patients
Several landmark research studies have shown that combining acupuncture with the IVF pre and post embryonic transfer dramatically increases the chances for conception by as much as 50%. And that’s just for the day-of-transfer treatment statistic.
For best results, our acupuncture assisted IVF treatment program begins with weekly treatments several weeks prior to the stimulatory phase of the IVF cycle, twice weekly during the stimulatory phase, continues through the implantation procedure with a pre and/or post transfer treatment, as well as one week after the transfer. These additional treatments help to prepare the patient for optimum fertility and to achieve even better results. The transfer-specific treatments can better boost conception rates by as much as 70%.²
Considering the national average of conception with the first IVF treatment alone is just 24%, and most couples will go through 3-5 rounds of IVF cycles, a 70% increased boost using acupuncture assistance is A LOT!
IUI patients are typically treated 1-2 times per week throughout, with increased frequency as necessary.
Acupuncture works to improve success rates of these interventions by increasing blood flow to the ovaries during the stimulation phase of IVF or a medicated IUI cycle, improving the effectiveness of the drugs given. It also relaxes the uterus and addresses uterine spasm after embryo transfer or IUI. Acupuncture also reduces stress and offsets side effects from the fertility drugs.*
Pregnancy Support
Comprehensive Care for a Healthy Pregnancy
Once pregnant, ongoing care and treatments may be recommended to support a healthy pregnancy and address concerns such as threatened miscarriage, morning sickness, back pain, sciatica, pelvic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, placenta previa, breech presentation, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and cervical ripening for labor preparation. Our services include fertility and prenatal consultations, acupuncture therapy, and diet therapy support. We offer biweekly acupuncture sessions to enhance uterine lining and follicular growth during the stimulation follicular phase, as well as pre- and post-IUI or IVF acupuncture treatments. For high-risk patients, we provide weekly miscarriage prevention treatments up to weeks 12–15 of pregnancy. Additionally, our monthly Pregnancy Wellness & Balancing Acupuncture Therapy promotes overall well-being throughout pregnancy.
Our Reviews
With a chaotic life and undergoing so many treatments, I was under a lot of stress and was down most times. That’s when I heard of acupuncture and wanted to give it a try. I found HPJ and met up with Dr. Julee. She is extremely kind, understanding of your situation and knows exactly what you need. Love her. She is the best. I’m so glad I chose to come here. I can tell you how much better I feel about the stress and about myself in general. I am always greeted by sweetest people especially Damaris. She is so sweet y’all. Every session is the so relaxing. I highly highly recommend Health Pointe Jax because they made a difference in my life 🙂
Prenatal &
Postpartum care
Prenatal acupuncture can provide SAFE and gentle care during this most precious time of your life. When you’ve been trying to conceive, a positive pregnancy test brings joy and excitement. However, for many, there are uncomfortable symptoms as well. Our treatments can help in the management of all the negative symptoms and improve labor. Receiving acupuncture during pregnancy statistically reduces labor and delivery pains and allows for a smoother and healthier delivery.
Our goal at Health Pointe Jacksonville is to help you get pregnant and have a healthy baby. But we’re also here for you after you give birth! We are thrilled to offer Postpartum Acupuncture. In Chinese Medicine, we say how a woman treats her body in the first 30 days post-birth can affect her health for the rest of her life. We use Postpartum Acupuncture, herbal formulas, nutritional therapy and moxa to strengthen the new mother’s energy and boost her immune system.
Postpartum treatment focuses on warming and “tonifying” the new mother. Think of it as relighting the pilot light. The optimal time to start reintroducing heat is five to seven days after birth as long as there is no infection. In many cultures, warming techniques are used as routine care after birth. This may include hot stones, water bottles, warm oils, or fires. In Chinese Medicine, moxa, or mugwort, is used to warm the belly and low back to reintroduce substance into the lower abdomen.
