Frequently Asked Questions About Women’s Health Acupuncture
How can acupuncture help with menstrual disorders?
Acupuncture may help regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms such as irregular periods, painful cramps and heavy bleeding. By balancing the body's energy flow and addressing underlying imbalances, acupuncture can promote hormonal balance and relieve menstrual discomfort.
Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?
Yes, acupuncture is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a qualified practitioner. It can help alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as nausea, back pain and fatigue. Acupuncture can also support overall health and well-being throughout pregnancy and prepare the body for labour and delivery.
Can acupuncture improve fertility?
Acupuncture may be beneficial for couples struggling with fertility issues by addressing underlying factors that may contribute to infertility. Research suggests that acupuncture can help regulate menstrual cycles, improve ovarian function, and reduce stress levels, all of which may enhance fertility and increase the chances of conception.
What conditions related to menopause can acupuncture address?
Acupuncture for menopause can help alleviate symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, and insomnia. By balancing hormonal fluctuations and supporting overall health and well-being, acupuncture can help women transition through menopause more comfortably and improve their quality of life.
How many sessions of acupuncture are typically needed to see results?
The number of acupuncture sessions needed to see results may vary depending on individual health concerns and response to treatment. Some women may experience improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require more extensive treatment over several weeks or months. Your Brisbane acupuncturist will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
What Can I Expect from My Treatment?
During a women's health acupuncture session at our clinic in Brisbane, you can expect a thorough assessment of your individual needs and health history. Treatment approaches may vary depending on your specific concerns but often involve acupuncture techniques aimed at restoring balance to the body's energy flow and addressing underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms.
Additionally, your acupuncture treatment may include other auxiliary methods such as Tui Na (Chinese remedial massage), moxibustion, cupping, electroacupuncture or ear seeds placed on auricular points.
