ACUPUCTURE FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH
WOMEN’S HEALTH
Acupuncture has been treating women’s health for thousands of years. And in the 21st Century, we have the advantage of combining our modern knowledge of women’s wellness with the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and oriental medicine.
Women endure all kinds of pain, and still they “carry on” with their many responsibilities.
I believe that women deserve to feel better in life. With acupuncture, herbs, and a healthier lifestyle, it is possible to achieve a healthier happier you!
MENSTRUAL AND HORMONAL ISSUES
From the teen years to menopause and beyond, women endure many symptoms associated with hormonal issues. Below are some of the most common issues treated, (but not limited to) by acupuncture:
Painful and irregular menstrual cycle
Migraines and mood swings
Stress related disorders
Endometriosis
PCOS
Fibroids
Cysts
Menopause and related issues (see below)
PERI-MENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
Peri-menopause and Menopause can be a difficult passage for many women, however, it doesn’t have to be. Acupuncture can treat many of the issues associated with menopause, such as:
Migraines
Hot flashes
Insomnia
Painful Joints
Energy
Anxiety
Acupuncture goes to the root of the issue; it eases the symptoms, and restores a better quality of life.
ACUPUNCTURE DURING PREGNANCY
Pregnancy for some women, can be a difficult time. It is often accompanied by back pain, fatigue, nausea, carpal tunnel, leg pain, swelling, and more.
In the hands of an qualified practitioner, acupuncture is a safe and effective way to support a pregnancy. It is beneficial for women in all stages of pregnancy, from first trimester right up until delivery.
Treating and helping women with infertility, and following them through a healthy pregnancy has been a prime area of interest, both in my undergraduate and post-graduate studies.
POST-PARTUM ACUPUNCTURE
After giving birth, many women find themselves experiencing post-partum depression. The hormonal shift in the body is huge, and often taking care of your little one can be exhausting.
The post-partum period can last anywhere from a few months up to a year after birth. Acupuncture helps you recover from childbirth, supplement and build back your energy, while easing depression and calming your spirit.
It is a wonderful way to give you the boost that you need!
FIBROMYALGIA
Acupuncture can ease the pain and reduce the inflammaion of Fibromyalgia. With ongoing treatment, patients can avoid flare-ups, and achieve a better quality of life.
Acupuncture treats digestive issues such as IBS, Colitis, Ileitis, nausea and stomach issues. It reduces inflammation and boosts the immune system, which in turn, helps to heal the digestive tract.
DIGESTIVE ISSUES
Acupuncture treats both anxiety and depression. By calming the nervous system, and reducing the hormone cortisol in our system, stress, anxiety, and depression can be greatly eased.
