About Women's Health
Many women suffer with PMS, painful or heavy periods, fibroids, endometriosis, hot flashes, night sweats, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irregular menstrual cycles and more. We have come to think of these syndromes as normal, and just a natural part of being a woman. Often traditional medicine can do little to help women suffering with these ailments. Standard treatment usually includes administering hormones in some way, painkillers and surgery. But these treatments simply remove the symptoms, and do not restore normal function to the body. They mask underlying imbalances, and these symptoms often return because these imbalances were never addressed. Many of these treatments also have harmful side effects.
Acupuncture and TCM have been used for thousands of years to treat women's health issues and is often successful in alleviating pain and discomfort, regulating the menstrual cycle and enhancing fertility. When a qualified practitioner performs acupuncture, it is a very safe method of treatment without the harmful side effects often associated with standard medical treatment.
Acupuncture treatments are tailored for each individual woman. A detailed history is taken and an acupuncture treatment plan is specifically created for her. Acupuncture and TCM look at each person as an individual. No two people are the same and therefore there are no "cookie-cutter" treatments. A specific plan will be created for you based on your individual needs, medical history, and symptoms.
