Chinese medicine can be very helpful in supporting your teen’s early years of puberty. This includes concerns including menstrual pain, irregular menses, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), stress, anxiety, skin conditions and digestive concerns.

Specialized concerns

Both adolescents and adults can benefit from acupuncture and Chinese medicine by addressing concerns involving PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), endometriosis, amenorea, hormone imbalances, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts.

Pregnancy Planning

We understand that this can be both wonderful and challenging as you plan. Chinese medicine has demonstrated in the literature that it can be very effective when trying to conceive. We support fertility during each stage of your menstrual cycle when conceiving naturally and complement infertility treatments including IUI and IVF.

Pregnancy

Acupuncture can be very helpful during each trimester, especially if pharmaceuticals are not an option. This includes body pain, headache, morning sickness, nausea, hyperemesis, constipation, anxiety and fatigue.

Perimenopause

We can help with balancing hormones as your body begins to shift later in life. Treatments are provided for changes in mood, sleep difficulty, PMS induced anxiety, changes in weight, hot flashes and digestive irregularity.

Menopause

Chinese medicine is a wonderful option to help with night sweats, insomnia, hot flashes, foggy mind and low libido.
