Endometriosis
Acupuncture for Endometriosis
Acupuncture for endometriosis provides a natural, low risk and non-invasive approach to manage symptoms of endometriosis. Unlike western medical treatments, with Chinese medicine, there is no one size fits all approach. During a consultations, we determine each woman’s unique pattern of disharmony that is underlying the symptoms she is experiencing. We then aim to and assist the body to restore normal hormonal function and reduce any pain.
Chinese medicine offers a targeted approach in managing symptoms of pain and discomfort throughout the cycle. Current research and clinical trials into the effectiveness of acupuncture have found significant improvements in blood flow to the ovaries and reproductive organs. This is thought to regulate hormones and decrease levels of pain. Other studies have found a reduction in pain as well as reduced inflammatory markers associated with endometriosis after a series of acupuncture treatments.
