Acupuncture for Women’s Health
As a woman, it is incredibly important to actively care for your health throughout all of the phases of your life. Not only is nurturing your well-being a part of living in harmony with nature’s cycles, but it can also improve your quality of life.
Most women end up facing a ranging variety of health issues as they age, from PMS, fertility and childbirth issues, to menopause and beyond. Whatever your concerns may be, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a safe, natural and effective way to support your physical and emotional health.
Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy and Childbirth
Facing fertility issues can be very stressful for the body, mind and spirit – but don’t worry, there is hope! Many couples who seek fertility treatments are able to conceive. Incorporating acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine into your overall treatment plan can help with fertility issues. Five Element Acupuncture has been shown to help increase the percentage of getting pregnant when its used in partner with invitro fertilization, and Traditional Chinese Medicine can be extremely effective in addressing the underlying emotional causes of infertility.
- Anxiety and Stress
- Back pain and sciatica
- Edema
- Fatigue
Acupuncture and Gynecological Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine tells us that specific meridian and organ systems, in this case the kidney, spleen and liver, are related to gynecological health. When one or more of these systems are affected, you may begin to experience symptoms that bring you discomfort before or during your period. Fertility issues can also be related to these organs. Your acupuncturist will work to find the underlying imbalances and determine what treatment plan will help your body regain its natural balance that you so desire.
