Acupuncture is a very safe and effective modality for treating many common gynecological problems. As a non-invasive treatment method, it will not interfere with western medical treatment or drug therapy. Acupuncture helps to stimulate the various systems of the body to achieve homeostatic balance, i.e. the body's natural, self-regulating mechanism.
In many cases, gynecological issues stem from hormonal imbalances leading to irregular menstruation, psychological symptoms and pain. By stimulating the nervous system and brain, acupuncture can help the body to self-regulate hormone levels and restore health.
Acupuncture is also a very powerful stimulant to the circulatory system helping to restore proper blood flow locally and throughout the entire body. Acupuncture treatment can reduce pain by stimulating natural pain killers in the body such as endorphins.
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for a variety of gynecological complaints:
- Dysmenorrhea
- Menopausal Syndrome
- Amenorrhea
- Bleeding Syndromes
- Fertility
- Abdominal Pain and Cramping
