| Acupuncture can be incorporated into other treatment protocols or used alone for a wide variety of health concerns. If you have a health concern that is not specifically listed here, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your individual case. We also use our blog to post information about how specific conditions respond to acupuncture. Women's Health: Acupuncture and Oriental medicine have the longest, continuous recorded history of any medical system and a very well developed filed of gynecology. Women and their doctors here in the West are recognizing the ability of acupuncture to solve many GYN problems including infertility without causing side effects often seen with other hormonal treatments like "the pill". Acupuncture has the ability to balance hormones and return the body to a healthy state. This is how it can regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce or eliminate symptoms associated with monthly periods. For women who are entering menopause or going through menopause, acupuncture can help with symptoms of: night sweats and hot flashes, mood swings, forgetfulness, "foggy brain". Fertility: We offer treatments for couples who are planning to have a baby naturally as well as those who are planning or currently undergoing fertility treatments, (IUI), Clomid drug treatments and IVF Cycles. Acupuncture treatments focus on the whole body (not just specific, isolated symptoms) improving your general health so that natural pregnancy can occur or modern Western procedures, such as IVF, are more effective.
