This is NOT an exhaustive list, simply the most common
In our practice, when evaluations are tracked we have a 71-92% success rate within the first year of treatment. There are so many variables from female factor, male factor, unknown factor, IVF, IUI support, all natural treatment, history of miscarriage, and age is always a concern. 39-58% Success Rate with each subsequent year of treatment thereafter. For those under 40 years old, on average, only 5% of our couples need to be referred out for IVF. These averages change daily depending on what new cases we get.
Typically, those who require more than one year of treatment are women and men in their 40’s but age isn't the only factor to consider and sometimes younger couples need treatment longer as well. Studies have shown over a 12 month period women are “twice as likely, in 1/3 of the time, to get pregnant using Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine compared to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Fertility Drugs.” Many patients get pregnant in the first 2-9 months. Rarely does a patient get pregnant in the first month of treatment (only 9.6% of the time on average).
Dr. Burris, DAcCHM was told by seven different OBGYN's over several years time, that she would probably never have children or would need IVF. She pursued the TCM medicine she now practices and was able to have two children from all natural medicine. It has empowered her to help women and men navigate one of the most emotionally draining times in their lives. She understands the frustration and fear associated with not knowing if you can have the family you so deeply desire.
We treat the most difficult and dire fertility cases because typically our patients find us late in their fertility medical diagnosis or treatment. Many patients have been suffering 1-10 years (some as long as 20 years!) before they find our practice. We are hopeful with even more studies, more media coverage, and more acceptance in the medical community that we will soon be your first option and referral, not your last resort. Until then, we are humbled to be part of this wonderful, exhausting, emotional, disappointing and ultimately fulfilling medical, spiritual and emotional challenge. Just as in life, there are no guarantees but we are here to help you and hopefully be a part of growing your dream family.
“Kristen suggested a technique to move the embryo down the Fallopian tube- and it worked! Miraculously, our baby boy made his way down the tube the doctors wanted to remove”

“I had been to a previous acupuncturist before, but the comparison was not even close. Despite our previous 2% odds given by a reproductive endocrinologist, we were pregnant.”

Rest assured our TCM fertility treatments for men and women never consist of needling reproductive organs or external genitalia. This is a common misconception that keeps many men from getting any fertility treatments. The acupuncture is extremely relaxing and most men fall asleep and often snore during their sessions.
Our TCM fertility treatments consist of an extensive evaluation of your medical history, prior fertility treatments (if any), using medicine that has been used on billions of people, for thousands of years.
We customize every fertility treatment to specifically fit the person we are treating. We do not restrict ourselves to protocols or limit ourselves to an in-house herbal pharmacy.
We Offer These Services to Treat Complicated Infertility Problems for Men and Women:
Acupuncture
E-Stim Acupuncture
Moxabustion
Traditional Herbal Medicine
Nutraceutical Grade Vitamin Therapy
