Erwin Acupuncture
Highly Skilled Fertility Support
I have provided healthcare in east TN since 1999 and enjoyed supporting my community!
Specialized training in fertility (natural and medically-assisted) and menopausal transition has provided me with extra skills to be of help.
While helping a family become pregnant and have a healthy baby is exciting, it is equally rewarding for me to assist women balance their cycles, have less monthly pain and discomfort, and navigate the challenges of the peri-menopausal transition.
​
My commitment is to ensure a consistent, streamlined care plan as you move toward your goals. I meet each patient with professionalism, kindness, and encouragement on their sometimes difficult, but rewarding journey toward better health.

Clinical studies show that
highly focused acupuncture treatments can increase the chances
for a successful pregnancy-
whether using IVF/IUI or trying to conceive on your own.
​​
Reasons Acupuncture is so successful:
​​​
-
​Optimizes health of your whole body and mind, not just focus on a few organs that are struggling.
-
Increases blood flow to the pelvis to promote follicle and egg health and encourage uterine lining to prepare for embryo implantation and growth.
-
Scientists agree that stress can inhibit pregnancy. Acupuncture causes the body to release endorphins, which counter cortisol/stress levels. This leaves your mind calm and body relaxed... the perfect environment for pregnancy!
-
Having a strong immune system is very important for conception. Endorphins released by the brain during acupuncture boost the immune system by raising the amount of white blood cells, T-cells and antibodies.
-
Decreases systemic inflammation, particularly important for women with endometriosis.
-
For those using IUI or IVF, Acupuncture can be a supportive wraparound therapy shown in studies to increase positive pregnancy outcomes by up to 15%.
You are not alone.
20% of American couples have difficulty conceiving.

"I had so many failed attempts and one heartbreak after the other. I read forum after forum online about successful IVF’s and failed IVF’s.
The one common denominator for success was acupuncture. That is why I tried it.
It was the ONLY thing that I did differently from all of our other attempts, so I am 100% positive that is why we have our little miracle now."
A. Lane, former patient of Dr. Bouton
