Success Stories

“I was diagnosed with large fibroids when I was trying to conceive my first child. The doctor told me that I was not conceiving due to the location and size of the fibroid. I was extremely scared and then the doctor told me I would have to have surgery and there would be no guarantees that I could conceive anyway. I decided to seek a second opinion and consider some alternative treatments before embarking on surgery. My friend had been to Nurture Acupuncture for fertility treatments so I decided to call them and see what they thought based on my ultrasounds and information I had from my doctor. Dr. Judy met with me and told me some diet changes I could make, prescribed some herbs, gave me acupuncture and abdominal massage, and had me do some Castor Oil packs on the area of the fibroids. After 1 month, I went back to my doctor and my fibroid has significantly shrunk. The doctor still thought I would need fertility medications and surgery in order to conceive and I decided to continue wi…
“My name is Jane and I was pregnant with my second baby and was told my baby was breech and that I would have to have a C-Section if the baby did not turn. I contacted Nurture Acupuncture and was given a treatment by Dr. Lu. He gave me acupuncture and something called moxibustion that I was to do at home. After 2 treatments, I went back to my OB and the baby had turned completely. I was worried the baby would turn back and I loved my treatments so much that I continued to see Dr. Lu for general pregnancy low back pain and fatigue. My baby is healthy and happy and so am I that I didn’t need a C-Section.”

— Jane, Pleasanton, CA
“I was 39 weeks when my friend told me to go see Nurture Acupuncture and have them help with my overdue baby. My doctor keep saying if I did not dilate by week 40, then I would be scheduled for a C-Section. I did not want to have a C-Section for my first child and I had read all the horror stories associated to having one. I met with Judy at Nurture and she gave me my first acupuncture treatment and during the treatment, I started having contractions. I went to the doctor the following day and I was already dilated to a 3. I went back one more time for a treatment and started going into labor when I left the Nurture office. I had my baby 6 hours later and did not need a C-Section. I have referred many friends to this office for care.”

— Jackie, Alamo, CA
This was my second pregnancy and no issues in my first pregnancy. At 35 weeks, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia. My doctor gave me a special diet and wanted to put me on blood pressure medication. I decided I would try acupuncture and see if they could control my swelling and blood pressure with herbs and acupuncture instead of medications. I worked with Dr. Shyu and he gave me herbs and acupuncture twice weekly. I went back to my doctor appointment one week later and the doctor was surprised how my condition had changed. He assumed it was the medication he prescribed and I didn’t have the courage to tell him that I did not take it and instead did acupuncture and herbs. I thank Dr. Shyu and the Nurture staff tremendously for helping me have a safe and medication free pregnancy.

— Crystal, Danville, CA
“I want to thank Nurture Acupuncture for being able to help with my severe morning sickness. It started in the first trimester around week 8 and I was unable to eat and was hospitalized for severe dehydration. I contacted Judy at Nurture and she gave me acupuncture the first day. I felt so good after the treatment and my nausea had subsided. I went out to dinner and had an amazing dinner with my husband.”

— Michelle, Danville, CA
“My first pregnancy occurred when I was 35 and I was so excited until I was told I had Gestational Diabetes and would need to take insulin for my pregnancy. I contacted Nurture Acupuncture and they helped me with nutritional guidance, dietary supplements, and gave me some herbs and acupuncture to control my glucose levels. My fasting glucose went from extremely high to back into the normal range and I was able to discontinue taking the insulin. My Ob-Gyn was so impressed by my progress that she now refers her patients for acupuncture.”

— Smita, San Ramon, CA
“I was 29 when I first started going to Nurture Acupuncture and I had been trying to have a baby for the past 3 years. I was diagnosed last year with Luteal phase defect and was told that I would have trouble maintaining a healthy pregnancy. I decided to try acupuncture and herbs to see if I could change the outcome. After going to Nurture Acupuncture for about 3 months, I conceived for the very first time in my life. I am currently 8 months pregnant and very very happy. I would recommend this clinic to everyone.”

— J.S., San Francisco, CA
“My journey with Nurture Acupuncture began when I was 37. I was trying to have a baby for at least 1 year with my new husband and was very unsuccessful. I was diagnosed by my RE as having premature ovarian failure and elevated FSH levels. I was devastated and a friend of mine told me that acupuncture might be able to help. I was very concerned because I hate needles and I am very skeptical about non-western medicine. I made the call finally and I have been going to the clinic for about 7 months now and my FSH is now at 10. I originally started with an FSH of 27 and my RE is very impressed that this number has dropped so significantly.”

— Shannon, Burlingame, CA
