Pregnancy Acupuncture FAQ

Q: Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

A: Yes — when performed by a practitioner with specific training in prenatal acupuncture, acupuncture is safe throughout pregnancy. At Willow Tree, Dr. Kiné Fischler and our team have extensive experience supporting pregnant patients at every trimester. We use gentle, pregnancy-appropriate point selection and always adapt treatment to your current stage and any specific concerns or complications you may have. Many Portland OB/GYN and midwives refer to us to ensure safe, effective care.

Q: Can acupuncture help with morning sickness and pregnancy nausea?

A: Yes. Acupuncture is one of the most effective natural treatments for pregnancy nausea and morning sickness. Full acupuncture treatment goes significantly further, addressing the underlying pattern driving nausea and providing lasting relief for most patients. Many of our patients see meaningful improvement within 2–3 sessions.

Q: Can acupuncture help turn a breech baby?

A: Yes. Moxibustion — a traditional Chinese medicine technique using heat applied to a specific acupuncture point — has clinical evidence supporting its use for encouraging optimal fetal positioning. It is most effective between 34–38 weeks of pregnancy. At Willow Tree, we have supported many patients in successfully resolving breech presentation. We will assess your individual situation and timeline and discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.

Q: Can acupuncture help prepare for labor?

A: Yes. Labor preparation acupuncture — typically beginning around 36–37 weeks — uses specific points to support cervical ripening, reduce anxiety, promote optimal fetal positioning, and prepare the body for the physical demands of labor. Research suggests that women who receive pre-birth acupuncture have shorter labors and lower rates of medical induction and cesarean section. At Willow Tree, we tailor labor preparation treatment to your individual pregnancy and birth plan.

“THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!”My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2.5 years. I’ve been tested for everything under the sun to try and figure out what our issue was with no success. After being told our next option was IVF, my friend recommended I try acupuncture. My husband was very skeptical, but supportive of trying to find a more natural way to conceive. I am SO happy to say that we proved him wrong (haha) and I am pregnant!! My treatment plan was twice a week for 3 months (24 visits) with daily herbs, focused on normalizing my cycles and developing a healthy egg. I still have 2 weeks left (4 visits) and we have switched to healthy pregnancy treatments. I feel so blessed to have gone to a doctor that actually CARED about me and my desire to grow our family. I was told countless times by doctors that “I’m so young and have so much time, just don’t worry about it” but Dr. Kine was enthusiastic about helping me and has been so amazing through the whole process.
“Dr. Fischler supported me for a year while my partner and I struggled through infertility” We first tried to go the natural route, using Chinese medicine herbs and supplements prescribed by Dr. Fischler and acupuncture, and although we didn't get pregnant, my cycles went from 60 days + to regular 35 day cycles with strong ovulation signs. She then supported me through IVF - 1 egg retrieval and 2 frozen embryo transfers and I am now 14 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl. I will definitely be going back to Willow Tree to prepare for birth and then again when we're ready to try for our 2nd baby.
“If you are on a fertility journey, you will find a skilled partner in Kine” I saw Kine over the course of three pregnancies. I had never had acupuncture before seeing Kine was a bit of a skeptic. I am a convert. Through all of my pregnancies, she helped me to be more comfortable and rooted in my body. She twice helped me get pregnant naturally and another time prepared me for IVF, treated me on the day of transfer, and throughout the pregnancy. I cannot say enough about the treatment i received from Kine - she is a master of her craft and a superbly kind human. She held me on dark days and guided me through with tenderness and wisdom. I am eternally grateful.
“I am now pregnant!”I started seeing Kine last June specifically for fertility. At first I was reluctant and skeptical of acupuncture in general but now not only is it one of my favorite times of the week but it allows me to relax and take some much needed quiet time during my hectic schedule. I find Kine very professional and wonderful at what she does. The clinic is warm and inviting and very comfortable and cozy. Oh- and most importantly I am now pregnant!
