There are many reasons to use acupuncture. Below are some of the common areas I focus on.
Women’s Health and Fertility
Acupuncture can assist with issues in the menstrual cycle such as dysmenorrhea, irregular or short cycles, uterine bleeding, heavy or prolonged flow, scant flow, no menstruation, and PMS. Other areas acupuncture can help with include erratic or no ovulation, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome, Infertility and hormone imbalances, IVF assistance, luteal phase defects (LH), high FSH levels, progesterone, and prolactin. Acupuncture has been effective in balancing or correcting female hormone functions, promoting blood circulation, improving ovarian and follicle production, thickening uterine lining and improving uterine blood flow.
Digestive Health
Do you have bloating, abdominal pain, inappropriate gynecological bleeding? You are not alone. Would you like to experience improved digestion, healthy ovarian reserve, energy? Acupuncture has been used effectively to treat gut health by treating the disharmony in the body causing the condition.
Stress
Would you like to enjoy healthy emotions, stay focused and alert, experience positive relationships, or have an energetic and vibrant of life? Acupuncture is known to help by balancing your body. Stress is a flight or fights response the body uses to defend itself from danger or deal with life’s challenges. An unhealthy response causes damage to health. When stress is relieved, life is productive, emotions are positive, you experience enthusiasm and vitality, better decisions are made, and one is more at peace.
Anxiety
Does your body react to certain situations with a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath and sweating? If so, you are experiencing anxiety. According to Oriental medicine, blockages in the body disrupt energy flow causing anxiety. Through acupuncture, these energy blockages can be addressed. As the mind calms down, anxious thoughts slow down allowing the body to realize it does not need to respond in a negative manner.
Arthritis
Are you one of the many that experience pain and inflammation of arthritis? A clinical trial suggests that acupuncture can lead to reduced pain and improved joint functioning in arthritis.
Back Pain
Guidelines from the American Pain Society and American College of Physicians say doctors should consider acupuncture as an alternative therapy for patients with chronic low-back pain that’s not helped by conventional treatment.
