Chinese Medicine provides both a complement or alternative to Western Medicines. As with all health disorders, the traditional Chinese understanding of health believes that challenged fertility is a manifestation of an imbalance in the body. Chinese medicine strives to bring the body back into balance through acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle adjustments, and manual therapies. It can help:

  • Improve egg and sperm quality
  • Improve cervical fluid quality
  • Regulate menstrual cycles
  • Correct luteal phase defects
  • Regulate hormone interactions
  • Increase circulation to the reproductive organs to improve ovarian response
  • Thicken uterine lining
  • Treat anovulatory disorders such as PCOS and LUFS
  • Treat recurrent and threatened miscarriage
  • Increase chance of success in IVF procedures
  • treat

As a parent with young children, John Kang takes great interest in helping couples share the joy of parenthood and is constantly learning about both Western and Eastern treatment methods. His success rate is about 70%.

In addition to learning from Chinese Medical Gynecologist Dr. Hua-Ling Xu, John has also received advanced clinical training in the TCM Gynecology department of the Sino-Japanese Friendship Hospital, the teaching hospital of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. He has also interned under Dr. Randine Lewis, the author of The Infertility Cure.

If you decide to explore Chinese Medicine as a means of treatment, John would be more than happy to discuss it with you. Before calling, be sure to have BBT charts, blood tests, and menstrual history information on hand! Treatment can never be one-sided, with practitioner doing all the work; it is a partnership which depends on the patient also making lifestyle changes and complying to recommendations.

Personal Statement
Thank you for visiting this page. I am humbled that you are considering choosing me for treatment among the many excellent practitioners of Chinese medicine in the Central Virginia area.

My own training began in 1995 while apprenticing under Dr. Betty Lung in Taiwan. Since starting my own practice in 2003, and especially after the birth of my own first child in 2004, I have dedicated considerable time studying from some of the best teachers of Chinese medicine fertility in the world. It has been my greatest professional joy to help fertility patients realize the blessing of parenthood.
