Personalized Care for Women’s Health

Acupuncture offers a natural, holistic approach to addressing a wide range of women’s health issues. Rather than simply alleviate symptoms, acupuncture addresses the root causes of imbalance by stimulating the nervous system, promoting blood circulation and influencing the body’s hormonal balance. By improving the flow of Qi and blood, acupuncture helps regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate PMS symptoms, reduce menopausal discomfort, and improve reproductive health.

What Women’s Health Issues Can Acupuncture Treat?

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for a wide variety of women’s health concerns, including:

  • Menstrual irregularities (painful periods, irregular cycles, heavy bleeding)

  • Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings)

  • Fertility support

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

  • Endometriosis

  • Emotional health (stress, anxiety, depression)

  • Chronic pain such as pelvic pain, menstrual cramps, endometriosis and low back pain

Supporting Women Through Perimenopause and Menopause

Many women experiencing perimenopause and menopause feel uninformed and underserved during this transitional period of their lives. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views menopause as a natural progression of a woman’s life, rather than a disease or downhill path. In TCM, women are said to age in seven-year cycles, naming the seventh cycle (age 49, approximately the age when a woman reaches menopause) the “Second Spring.” This is a time of rebirth, when a woman calls upon her lifelong wisdom and experiences to reawaken or redirect her life’s purpose.

Acupuncture and TCM offer natural support for women navigating the many challenges of perimenopause and menopause, often overlooked by Western medicine. By addressing the root causes, acupuncture can help alleviate common symptoms, such as hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, night sweats, joint pain, and fatigue. And by stimulating specific acupuncture points to regulate hormonal imbalances, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system, we can help reduce the intensity of symptoms while promoting emotional well-being and overall vitality.
