PUSH San Diego is a one-of-a-kind integrative natural wellness practice that specializes in infertility, prenatal, and postpartum care founded by Dr. Deb Davies in 2009. This traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture clinic is conveniently centered in San Diego near the Hillcrest, University Heights, and Mission Hills neighborhoods.
The team at PUSH San Diego has expertise in helping clients achieve balance and wellness throughout every stage of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care. They provide compassionate in-office care but can also travel to patients’ homes, birth centers, or hospital rooms when patients are in labor. The team regularly works with couples, including LGBTQIA+ folks, who are experiencing difficulty getting or staying pregnant.
PUSH San Diego offers a dynamic menu of services, including acupuncture, tui na massage, lactation support, pelvic steaming, cupping, and smokeless moxibustion, to name a few. We utilize EarSeeds® for fertility, pain, natural promotion of labor, and many other conditions. We sell New Mama EarsSeed kits that are great for the end of pregnancy and the postpartum period. Patients can also select from a variety of premium doTERRA® essential oils during their services. The practice sells several research-driven products, such as Conceivable customized supplements, Blue Poppy® Chinese herbs, and more. All products are designed to support a healthy body at any time in life, but especially surrounding pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum stage. Because PUSH San Diego offers so many unique modalities for normal to high-risk and complex pregnancies, patients often experience promising results, even if doctors told them they could never get pregnant.
PUSH San Diego is dedicated to giving patients hope through dedicated and personalized support. The team is available when patients need them most, even on nights and weekends.
A lactation consultation includes the observance of infant feeding at breast/chest and guidance given to improve comfort of the positioning to benefit the nursing parent and the infant, to improve latch and, therefore, milk transfer. The infant is often weighed before and after a feeding at the breast/chest to calculate how much milk has been transferred. A lactation consultation can address issues including: milk supply, breast pain and sore nipples, trouble latching, finding a comfortable nursing position, refusal to feed, poor infant weight gain, falling asleep at the breast/chest, problems pumping human milk, engorgement, clogged milk ducts, mastitis, infant oral restrictions, bottle feeding.
Some unique offerings as an integrative lactation consultant is infant acupressure instruction for parents for a number of issues from gassiness, to colds! Having added tools at our disposal such as acupuncture and herbal medicine to help with milk supply and other issues around lactation provide a perfect compliment to holistically support families to meet their infant feeding goals.
Pelvic steaming aka Yoni steaming or vaginal steaming is a relaxing session during which you will sit comfortably over a warm, specially tailored, therapeutic herbal tea or smoke allowing the steam, or smoke, to rise up and permeate the genitals and entire pelvic area. A specific steaming intake form is required to be able to tailor the herbs and treatment plan for the individual's constitution, imbalances and goal. Steaming is a gentle and effective modality to address many gynecological challenges such as painful periods, irregular cycles, infertility, postpartum recovery, infections and more.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile, extremely thin needles into the body to facilitate healing and is based in both ancient Chinese medicine and validated by current research. A full history and exam will proceed all first time acupuncture treatments to be able to create and individualized treatment plan for each client.
An acupuncture treatment is usually very relaxing and CAN include other modalities such as acupressure, ear seeds, fire cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, essential oils, Tui Na (Chinese massage), heat, castor oil hot packs, guided meditation and lifestyle recommendations as seen appropriate by the practitioner. The benefits of acupuncture can include improved digestion, sleep, a sense of relaxation, decreased anxiety and depression, decrease pain, improved bodily functions such as metabolism, fertility, balanced hormones and in increase in a sense of well being and empowerment.
Cupping applies suction to the surface of the body to draw out pathogenic factors or to invigorate the flow of blood and Qi at the surface of the body.
The unique ability of herbs to simultaneously treat root imbalances and strengthen the body makes them an easy natural choice to treat chronic and non-threatening conditions like migraines, PMS, menstrual imbalances, menopausal symptoms, hormonal imbalances and reproductive issues. They can be used many different ways as in tinctures, teas, capsules, powders and topical.
Moxibustion is a form of heat therapy in which dried plant materials called "moxa" are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.
