What Is Acupuncture for Women’s Health and How Can It Help?
Women’s health requires specialized care that recognizes the diverse challenges faced at different phases of life. Acupuncture for women’s health involves targeted treatment of issues like menstrual pain, hormonal imbalances, fertility support, and menopausal symptoms. By carefully stimulating precise points, acupuncture helps bring your body back into balance. At Family Wellness Acupuncture, our tailored approach ensures you receive the exact care you need at every stage of life.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our approach to acupuncture for women's health focuses on treating not just the symptoms but also addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
We understand that conditions like menstrual discomfort, hormonal imbalances, and fertility issues can feel overwhelming and often require more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
By creating a personalized treatment plan, we aim to improve your quality of life, reduce discomfort, and help your body function at its best—naturally and holistically.
Menstrual Discomfort
Struggling with painful periods, PMS, or irregular cycles? Acupuncture can ease cramps, regulate cycles, and support better hormone function, providing you with natural relief
Fertility Challenges
Whether you're trying to conceive naturally or working alongside medical fertility treatments like IVF, acupuncture is a gentle method to balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve your chances of success.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormonal shifts can cause mood swings, hot flashes, fatigue, and other symptoms that disrupt your life. Acupuncture can effectively manage these symptoms, helping your body find equilibrium.
Menopause Support
Menopause doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Acupuncture can help ease symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, irritability, and trouble sleeping, making this transition smoother and more manageable.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
Acupuncture is safe and supportive throughout pregnancy, addressing nausea, fatigue, and discomfort while also providing crucial postpartum support to help you heal and thrive.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

02.

Using ultra-fine needles, we focus on key acupuncture points that are most effective for women’s health, whether it's hormone regulation, pain relief, or mood support.
03.
Personalized Ongoing Care
At the end of your session, we’ll review your progress and suggest any additional therapies or lifestyle modifications to enhance your treatment benefits.
Along with acupressure or acupuncture needle treatments, your personalized plan may incorporate any of the following therapies during your sessions to support and enhance your recovery:
This treatment uses an herb called Mugwort. It may be burned on the needle's handle, above the skin, on salt, or a slice of ginger. This is used to “warm” acupuncture points to quicken the healing process. Many acupuncturists also commonly perform moxibustion with warming pads.
Also referred to as "Electro-Stim" or "E-Stim," this technique is where a low-level electrical current is applied to the acupuncture needles located at various points on the body. This is done to further stimulate the body’s qi and healing processes.
This therapy is used for sore muscles, tension, neck pain, and the common cold. In this therapy, Family Wellness Acupuncture will place small glass or plastic “cups” over specific areas on your body. A vacuum is created under the cup using heat or suction. The team may move the cup over an affected area or leave it in place. You may leave the office looking as though a large octopus gave you a big hug. There is no need for alarm. The slight redness will dissipate.
Herbal remedies have been around for centuries, long before modern medicine. They are used to heal illness and address psychological concerns. Herbal medicine can treat conditions such as asthma, eczema, premenstrual syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine, menopausal symptoms, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.
