Acupuncture for Women's Health
Acupuncture is the insertion of very thin needles in key points in the body. Acupuncture decreases inflammation, increases circulation, and regulates the nervous system, making you feel deeply relaxed. During an acupuncture treatment, your body returns to homeostasis, snapping out of its usual fight or flight responses and beginning the process of rebalancing and healing itself.
​
Acupuncture has been proven an effective treatment for all types of pain, including back pain, knee pain, shoulder and neck pain, and plantar fasciitis (Mu et. al. 2020). I have personally treated all of these types of pain, and I love to help my clients get out of pain naturally.
​
Research also shows that acupuncture is beneficial in balancing hormones. This means it can help treat menstrual pain, PMS, PMD, night sweats, hot flashes, and it can optimize fertility in both men and women (Quan et. al. 2022). In our modern world, our bodies are constantly bombarded with endocrine disruptors. From our food, our makeup and cleaning supplies, even our clothes and our constant exposure to wireless signals, everything affects our hormone levels, and acupuncture is an amazing way to get back to balance.
