There is substantial overlap in the symptoms of menopause with fertility, endometriosis and pelvic pain, gender-affirming care, and cancer treatments. The menopausal transition touches nearly every aspect of your being:

·       temperature regulation

·       unwanted sweating

·       period changes and abnormal bleeding

·       urination frequency and pain

·       bone health

·       body, pelvic, and genital pain

·       headaches

·       sleep disruptions

·       digestion

·       insulin sensitivity and weight changes

·       mood changes

·       libido and sexual function

·       skin, hair, and nails

Menopause directly impacts multiple body systems, including the endocrine, reproductive, nervous, cardiovascular, excretory, musculoskeletal, and immune systems. By helping to down-regulate your nervous system or inducing the release of neurochemicals that aid in hormone balance, acupuncture can help significantly reduce menopausal-related symptoms severity. It is a drug-free treatment that can provide substantial benefits. If needed, we can augment the effects of acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine. Herbal medicine is a complex approach using multiple herbs to address your symptom patterns. We can target difficult symptom pictures with complex herbal formulae. We also don’t want to overload you with unnecessary nutritional supplements. Only the ones you need, and the supplements that work.
