Pregnancy Several problems that occur during pregnancy can be helped.  Nausea and early morning sickness, which can be so bad as to be disabling, will usually respond well to nNEAP.

Some acupuncture points should not be used during pregnancy and some types of manipulation are not appropriate, but back pain and sciatica can both be helped and relieved by careful osteopathy and acupuncture.

An intriguing use of acupuncture techniques is to turn a breech presentation baby the right way round.   A trial published in Journal of the American Medical Association Nov11 1998:1580-1584, showed that burning a particular herb over an acupuncture point on the little toe caused the baby to turn the right way round in 75% of women.  This can also be done using nNEAP and a self treatment technique can be taught.
