Acupuncture for women's health

Acupuncture is effective in treating many women’s health issues by restoring balance to the body. Once the root cause is addressed, many symptoms ease or even disappear. Compared to other treatments, acupuncture is entirely non-invasive, natural, and safe.

Women's health

Women’s health covers a wide range of concerns — from irregular menstruation and menopause to stress-related aging and persistent headaches. Many of these issues stem from shifts in hormones, the chemicals that regulate the body, which makes them complex and often hard to resolve.

Acupuncture's benefits

Research shows the female reproductive system is highly receptive to acupuncture. Treatment increases blood flow to important areas and can help stabilize hormone levels — all naturally and non-invasively. Acupuncture eases menstruation, menopause, and pregnancy, and can assist with other conditions caused by unbalanced hormones and qi.

How we help

When you arrive, we ask about your specific concern, your symptoms, and your medical history, and give a full-body examination. Everyone’s body is unique, and we personalize treatment accordingly. In general the doctor inserts four to ten hair-thin needles about half an inch deep, and you rest for 10 to 30 minutes. A typical course is around 15 weekly sessions; for concerns like pregnancy or menopause, treatment may continue throughout.
