How to Increase Sperm Motility Naturally
Holistic, natural medicine for better sperm health and fertility outcomes.
Sperm Motility Treatment
Fertility health goes way beyond the health of the reproductive system, which means it can get pretty complicated. Of course, a major factor in male fertility is the health of the sperm, which includes sperm motility. This is how quickly and accurately sperm moves. If your doctor finds that you have low sperm motility, we can help you find a natural boost to get those guys in gear!
Our Holistic Treatments for Low Sperm Motility
Almost every part of your body can play a role in fertility health, which is why it’s important to treat fertility through a holistic lens. Our treatment plans are designed to address the symptoms as well as the root causes of the issue. This approach is created to promote healthy sperm motility and restore your body’s ability to self-heal.
Boost Sperm Motility Naturally
Sperm health can fluctuate, which means there are several things you can do to naturally increase sperm motility and increase the likelihood of successful fertilization. After a detailed consultation, we’ll create a custom treatment plan which could include acupuncture, Chinese herbs for improved blood circulation, and possibly lifestyle changes as well.

Acupuncture for Sperm Motility
Acupuncture treatments work to heal your whole system by balancing yin and yang energies. This balance means the channels in your body are flowing freely, helping improve circulation which improves sperm motility, as well as improved overall quality and quantity of sperm. This therapy is also effective in improving fertility health by clearing out excess heat and any lingering infections. Patients experience anxiety relief, improved libido, and see results in an improved semen fluid analysis.
We recommended you start acupuncture treatments as soon as it is determined you have a need to improve the health of your sperm. During treatment, patients can expect to have acupuncture needles placed on the lower abdomen, legs, arms, and sometimes elsewhere, such as the ears. Results can vary based on a number of factors, however, most patients may begin to experience results within 12 months of receiving weekly treatment. We will likely recommend combining acupuncture with Chinese herbs to maximize effectiveness and may also recommend e-stim.
Herbal Medicine for Sperm Motility
Chinese herbs and herb formulas help improve fertility outcomes, while also supporting overall wellness. Herbs for sperm motility improve circulation to the genitals and testes, clearing out excess heat, and assisting in clearing lingering infections. Each formula and treatment plan is custom-created to each patient, taking into consideration lifestyle, medical history, goals, and any other factor that may play a role in fertility. Practitioners may also coach patients on how to reduce environmental factors and how to adopt lifestyle changes for improved sperm count, morphology, and motility.
Results can vary based on a number of factors, however, most patients may begin to experience initial results within 6 months and sustained results in 12-24 months. After discussing your health history, we may recommend combining this therapy with acupuncture. We see better outcomes with improved results when these treatments are paired together for fertility treatments.
