Instructor: Kaleb Montgomery, TCMP, M.Cl.Sc., BSc.Original Date: September 16, 2018Pregnancy is a time when women experience many different problems. Often practitioners, both allopathic and complementary are reluctant to treat during pregnancy for fear of negatively affecting the growing baby. Women are also often reluctant to take medicine internally for the same reason. Acupuncture is a great, safe and effective way to help women through pregnancy as comfortable as they can be.Acupuncture can treat all sorts of problems that occur during pregnancy, including nausea and pain, as well as to help labor be shorter, easier and have less interventions. In this course we will not only look at the research but focus on practical techniques as well as tap into some of Kaleb Montgomery’s extensive clinic experience in the area of fertility, pregnancy and labor.Learning Objectives:To learn to incorporate evidence based research in your practiceTo learn the process of labour inductionTo learn the process of treating pain during pregnancy and laborTo manage labor, reducing panicTo turn breech presentation safely and effectivelyTo treat nausea and vomit in pregnancyTo learn about pre-birth acupressure, acu points and moxibustion for labor preparation
