Best Acupuncture Clinic in Jacksonville for Fertility Treatment
Full Swing Healthcare offers fertility-supportive acupuncture in Jacksonville, performed by Dr. Cody Muren, a certified acupuncturist with training in both traditional Chinese and orthopedic frameworks including women's health applications.
We treated a patient who was in her second IVF cycle. Her reproductive endocrinologist had mentioned that some of his patients used acupuncture around transfer cycles and reported better outcomes. She came to us three weeks before her transfer date. We ran weekly sessions focused on uterine blood flow, stress regulation, and hormonal balance support. She got a positive result on her second transfer. She told us afterward that she couldn't say with certainty what made the difference, but that she felt calmer and more physically grounded going into the procedure than she had on the first cycle. Her doctor noted her lining was better. That's the conversation we want people to have with their care teams: acupuncture as a complement to their fertility protocol, not a replacement for it.
How Acupuncture Supports Fertility
Fertility acupuncture works through several mechanisms. It improves uterine blood flow by regulating the autonomic nervous system, which governs vascular tone. It reduces cortisol and stress hormones that can interfere with the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. It supports the regulation of the menstrual cycle in women with irregular cycles related to stress or mild hormonal imbalance. And it addresses the systemic tension that accumulates during fertility treatment, which is emotionally and physically demanding regardless of outcomes.
What to Expect at Full Swing
Your first visit starts with a full intake. Dr. Muren reviews your health history, your fertility timeline, and any protocols your RE has you on. He does not work in opposition to your medical team. He works alongside it. Needle placement is selected based on your presentation at that visit. Sessions run 45 to 60 minutes. Many women doing IVF come in weekly during their stimulation phase and once or twice around the transfer date. Women working on natural conception typically come in for a series aligned with their cycle.
