Sacramento Acupuncture Clinic Observes National Infertility Awareness Week®

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - April 10, 2013 - PRLog -- (Sacramento, California, 2013) – Asian Therapeutics and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association will recognize National Infertility Awareness Week®, April 21 through April 27, joining millions of women and men fighting the disease of infertility, healthcare professionals, psychologists and other thought leaders to promote greater awareness about infertility.  

RESOLVE works to improve the lives of women and men living with infertility. One in eight U.S. couples of childbearing age is diagnosed with infertility. RESOLVE addresses this public health issue by providing community to these women and men, connecting them with others who can help, empowering them to find resolution and giving voice to their demands for access to all family building options.

Asian Therapeutics uses acupuncture and traditional Asian medicine to support women and couples who are trying to conceive. The downtown Sacramento clinic helps patients who want to optimize their chances of a successful in vitro fertilization procedure or as a natural alternative to assisted reproductive technologies.

“National Infertility Awareness Week® provides an opportunity to educate the public and create greater awareness and understanding about infertility. Our goal is to help destigmatize infertility and to provide women and couples clear information about their natural and complementary treatment options,” said Ken Berry, LAc, licensed acupuncturist at Asian Therapeutics.

“The theme of National Infertility Awareness Week® is ‘Join the Movement,’ and RESOLVE is delighted to work with practices and organizations across the country to call attention to the disease of infertility,” said Barbara Collura, RESOLVE’s President/CEO. “This is a wonderful week when our community comes together to rally around the cause of infertility.”
