Women’s Health

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas are extremely effective in managing the delicate hormonal balance in women’s bodies. The symptoms of PMS, menopause, and pregnancy can all be successfully treated with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. PCOS and endometriosis respond very well to treatments as do other menstrual and hormonal related disorders such as migraines. Acupuncture is known to effect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and normalize hormones. Current clinical evidence points to acupuncture’s ability to influence the sympathetic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the neuroendocrine system. In short, acupuncture works through a variety of complex systems to help regulate the female cycle.

Whether you are just beginning your fertility journey, or are working with a fertility specialist, acupuncture can dramatically increase your likelihood of conception and full term pregnancy. In addition, Chinese herbal medicine is incredibly effective at increasing fertility and specialized nutrition is able to ready your body for ovulation and implantation. Research has also shown increased success rates of IVF’s through the treatment of electro-acupuncture. Women’s health and fertility are close to my heart and one of my true specialties. The addition of acupuncture to any fertility path is a boon. Over the past decade, a wealth of studies have been conducted showing the benefits of utilizing Chinese Medicine in conjunction with reproductive medicine to enhance the effectiveness of the treatments.
