How acupuncture can help you from conception to delivery.
Giving birth is one of the most powerful events any woman will ever experience. Where there was one two people, a third emerges, turning a woman into a mother. But what if there are problems along the way? What if a woman has difficulty getting pregnant or delivering the baby? That’s where acupuncture steps in.
“Acupuncture is an incredibly helpful tool that is known for helping people deal with pain and stress,” says Dr. Louis Klionsky DC, DCBCN owner of Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers. “What most people don’t realize is that it is also extremely useful for women who are wanting or expecting a child.”
Business + Pleasure
From Conception
Having problems getting pregnant? Before you spend thousands of dollars on in vitro fertilization or other invasive and lengthy procedures, why not try something different? If acupuncture doesn’t work on it’s own, you can couple it with IVF for improved likelihood of success. In fact, a study in Germany found that women who undergo acupuncture before and after in vitro fertilization increased their success of getting pregnant by as much as 37 percent.
Find + Focus = Thrive
But this isn’t only an overseas phenomenon. Dr. Klionsky has helped hundreds of women realize their dreams of pregnancy in the Florida area. With each acupuncture treatment, the amount of blood that reaches the ovaries and the uterus is increased, resulting in healthier eggs and a stronger uterine lining that is more able to hold fast to the fertilized egg. Both of these add up to an increased likelihood of pregnancy.
To Birth
Once pregnant, you can continue to reap some serious benefits from acupuncture. In addition to reducing stress throughout your 40-week pregnancy, acupuncture can help you avoid Caesarean section deliveries by turning upside down (breach) babies the right way. That’s right—a breach baby doesn’t necessarily translate into a C-section. With a few acupuncture treatments, Dr. Klionsky has helped many soon-to-be-born babies get their acts straight. And when you’re ready to push but your body isn’t quite there yet, acupuncture provides a safe, non-invasive way to induce labor. Overnight, a well-timed acupuncture can help dilate your cervix so your new bundle of joy can make his or her entrance into the world.
From Hockey Player to Mixed Martial Arts Fighter
“Most women don’t know about the power of acupuncture when it comes to the delivery of their children, so they’re often at their doctor’s mercy for drugs and surgical intervention,” Dr. Klionsky DC, DCBCN says. “However, they often don’t need any of these potentially dangerous options, as a few acupuncture treatments can do the same thing without any of the risks.”
No risks a great success rate, and more than 30 years experience? No wonder more women are researching their prenatal options and turning to acupuncture at Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers.

How Joey “The Grizzly” Leccese is using persistence and work ethic to forge his place in the world of MMA.
With a wrestling background, Rob Cannova has been in love with mixed martial arts (MMA) from day one. But it wasn’t until his sons showed an interest in the sport that he opened Imperial Athletics, a warehouse gym that has quickly become synonymous with professional MMA talent.
“It’s an incredible honor to have the pros working out in my gym,” Rob says, “but I actually built the place for the kids.”
If You Build It…
For years, Rob and his wife, Mindy, have run Boca Raton Youth Athletic Association, a non-profit athletic association that provides baseball, basketball, wrestling, and football programs for youngsters. When his two sons became interested in MMA, he decided to turn a storage warehouse into an MMA training facility for them. With all the equipment needed for a full workout under one roof, Rob intended for kids to come for MMA training, while their parents worked out at the same time.
As soon as word spread about his facility, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva showed up with his training partners. They started a camp and stuck around. Fellow pro Jorge Santiago did the same, as did a number of others—including Rashad Evans. With so many professional fighters on the training roster, it was only a matter of time until hungry up-and-comers made their way to the gym.
One of the most promising is Joey “The Grizzly” Leccese.
“When you look at the guy, you want to stay away from him,” says Rob. “But he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met. My wife loves him, my kids love him, the coaches love him. No one has anything bad to say about him.”
NFL for the Ladies!
Drive to Succeed
Of the many reasons no one can find anything bad to say about The Grizzly, his work ethic is on the top. When he first joined Imperial Athletics, Joey purchased a normal gym membership, like an average Joey. But he is anything but average, and he didn’t plan on being seen as average for long.
From day one, The Grizzly struck up a relationship with Rob, asking to join the pros in their workouts. Rob told him to give it time and they would let him in. Soon, Joey’s daily dedication to working out and improving his skills won over the pros. A short time after joining the gym, The Grizzly earned the right to the pro’s inner circle and began working out with some of the top names in MMA.
How Important is a Home Inspection?
Today, Joey drives an hour to the gym two times each day to work out with the best of the best, attend nutrition classes, and soak up all the MMA knowledge he can. Rob suspects this obsession is a key reason The Grizzly has made such monumental improvements in such a short time. Add on a strong core and unparalleled balance that come courtesy of a previous life in professional hockey, and it becomes clear why Rob expects The Grizzly to become a 205-pound knock-out machine.
“I have a lot of strong guys, but he has a different strength—the Grizzly strength,” Rob says. “And he has persistence unlike anyone I’ve ever met. You won’t find a tougher guy, both mentally and physically, than The Grizzly.”
With his Grizzly strength, hockey balance, and unparalleled persistence, it’s only a matter of time until the rest of the MMA world gets to see The Grizzly unleashed.

Had an auto accident? Either get it treated properly or suffer the consequences.
In June 2008, West Palm Beach, Florida resident Judy Daniels was involved in a car accident. As a result, she wound up with neck pain, arm pain, pain in her shoulder blades, lower back pain, a herniated disc, and radiating pain in her right leg.
Initially, Judy was referred to a doctor. After six months, she wasn’t getting any better.
“When a car runs into another car or a tree, it gets knocked out of alignment,” says Dr. Louis Klionsky, owner of Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers. “The same thing is true for the body. If these issues aren’t diagnosed and addressed appropriately, the end results can be frustrating and even devastating.” [Click here to read an earlier article about Dr. Klionsky]
Catch It Early
Some of the complications that may arise from leaving accident-related issues untreated include persistent pain, numbness and tingling in the affected extremities, loss of grip strength, bladder problems, and other severe conditions that may require invasive surgical intervention and months of post-surgery rehabilitation. Thankfully, Judy didn’t wait too long before finding her way to Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers.
“If you get in an accident like Judy, it’s imperative that you get checked out to make sure you don’t have any sort of pain-causing misalignment,” Dr. Klionsky says. “Medications can deaden the pain signals to the brain and temporarily treat the symptoms of an accident, but when the pills are gone, the pain comes back.”
Instead of a temporary fix, chiropractors specialize getting to the root of the problem, identifying nerve issues and vertebrae that are out of alignment. For a clear diagnosis, a full exam must be performed, including an orthopedic and neurological examination, which can be performed at Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers.
Better than Ever Once in the capable hands of Dr. Klionsky, Judy began undergoing gentle spinal alignment to remove subluxations (out-of-place spinal bones), electrical stimulation, cold compresses, acupuncture, and massage. Soon, Dr. Klionsky prescribed exercises to regain strength in her lower back and right arm. Following six months of unsuccessful treatment elsewhere, Judy began feeling better after only three weeks in Dr. Klionsky’s care.

“I now have no pain, and I’ve never felt better,” Judy says. “This is the best thing that’s ever happened to me!”
To make sure she stays healthy and happy, Judy still performs the exercises prescribed by Dr. Klionsky a couple years ago. Since overcoming her pain and getting back to life, Judy has referred many friends to Boca Spine & Acupuncture Centers. And in the event she has another car accident in the future, Judy knows exactly where she’ll turn: Dr. Klionsky.
