Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can successfully treat infertility in women and in men, either by itself or in combination with ART (assisted reproductive technologies) such as IVF and IUI. There is a growing body of medical research that demonstrates the effectiveness of TCM for fertility.
Monica Legatt has extensive specialized training in the field of gynecology and fertility. She completed the 90-hour course “Comprehensive Perspectives on the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Infertility.” This course covered treatments for fertility using alternative medicine interventions such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, fertility massage, fertility yoga and naturopathic medicine, as well as extensive instruction in Western medical fertility treatment by Klaus Wiemer PhD., Embryologist at The Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences, Michael Opsahl, MS, Reproductive Endocrinologist at The Northwest Center for Reproductive Sciences, and Patricia Hunt PhD, professor and research biologist at Washington State University. This specialized training has uniquely prepared Monica to interface with her fertility patients’ Western physicians while they undergo treatments such as IVF or IUI.
Monica has also taken several courses on gynecology, women’s infertility and men’s reproductive disorders from Giovanni Maciocia. Maciocia is one of the world’s leading living authorities on Traditional Chinese Medicine and is the author of numerous textbooks and research studies. He is the author of Obstetrics and Gynecology in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the definitive textbook on the topic used in TCM Colleges in the US, Europe, and worldwide.
Acupuncture for Knee Pain, Hip Pain, Shoulder Pain & Arm Pain
If you have not tried acupuncture then you are truly missing out on better health. I was asked by my doctor if I would like to try acupuncture. They could not help the pain I was having and I could hardly walk. I had to really think about it for a while because I thought needles weren't for me, but I was in so much pain that I decided to try acupuncture at least one time.
After the first visit I was so impressed: would you believe that I can even go to sleep while having the treatment? I feel so much better after an acupuncture treatment that I have continued going because Monica has also worked on other parts of my body (arms, shoulders, hips) for better health. (Note: this patient has received bi-weekly acupuncture treatments since 2002.)
Monica and her office staff are so nice that it is a pleasure to go. Monica is so gentle and kind and really listens to you. She has even called me at home to check up on me when I have been ill. I have never had that kindness from a doctor before. I could go on more but I will end in saying that everyone should try acupuncture at least once!
