Acupuncture for Menstrual Problems
“Already having treatment for my fibromyalgia from Stephen, I knew how good he was, so I asked him to treat my ovaries. Twelve sessions were recommended, and after about eight I got a period, then with continued treatment three more periods followed, which was amazing.” “After coming off the pill over a year ago my cycle was never completely regular and my period was long in duration (over a week in length). Through Acupuncture my cycle became regular and it shortened my period to a 5 day length...” |
“Following an assessment, Steve commenced my treatment and, as he had predicted, after six treatments my period arrived!”I am pleased to offer acupuncture to assist in many menstrual disorders.
Over the years, I have been able to successfully treat irregular cycles, and also even absent periods – especially if caused by polycystic ovary syndrome, or because of coming off the contraceptive pill.
I have also found acupuncture effective in regulating menstrual cycles, if they are irregular, heavier than normal, or longer in duration; and if inappropriate spotting continues in between cycles. Often when cycles are irregular, PMT can also be a problem. I am happy to see clients with this troublesome issue as well.
Endometriosis is something that generally responds well to acupuncture. As well as paying attention to hormonal levels, I like to also use methods to help relieve stress and regulate the nervous system. I find this is usually helpful in calming the problem.
Please contact me for a friendly assessment of how I might be able to help you and how many treatments may be necessary.
As a guide, a normal course of treatment is between 6-12 visits depending upon the condition and severity.
