HOUSTON -- Houston Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer's wife, Lauren, was pregnant with their first child when they first encountered acupuncture.
Their now three-year-old son Garrett was breech at 36 weeks and the doctor said she would likely have to have a C-section. To avoid that she looked up alternative treatments. Acupuncture was one.
"We went up to this woman doctor, she put the needles in," Hoyer said. "They lit some roots and burned it. They had like yoga music on. I literally watched my wife’s stomach shift."
The next day they went back to the obstetrician.
