Treating women’s health issues is one area that western medicine struggles. From both personal experience and feedback from other women, the western medical community really seems to fall short when dealing with most phases of women’s care. BUT this is where acupuncture can step in and really shine. Because of the holistic nature of traditional Chinese medicine we will be looking at all aspects of your body and what phase of life you are in. We acknowledge that emotions play a vary important role in women’s health and take into account the various complexities of the female system. We can help with everything from menstrual regulation, PMS symptoms, fibroids, fertility issues, PCOS, prenatal care and postpartum care and finally dealing with issues that can come with menopause. Acupuncture and  Chinese medicine can regulate hormones, increase circulation, decrease inflammation and decrease stress. Every one of these factors are a part of the female system and can be addressed naturally and holistically.
