Women’s health, also called gynecology, is a medical specialty encompassing the needs of female patients. Heaven & Earth Acupuncture treats a wide range of conditions that affect women’s sexual and reproductive health using natural and alternative strategies. 

The team evaluates you at the beginning of your visit to gather information about your symptoms and specific concerns. They also review your medical history to be sure that acupuncture or any other recommendations are safe options. They may also suggest herbal supplements, lifestyle changes, and other wellness practices. 

Who can benefit from women’s health services?

Heaven & Earth Acupuncture encourages women and girls to visit for women’s health services for age-specific needs, menstrual concerns, and a range of other purposes. Even if you don’t have an official diagnosis, you may arrive with specific symptoms or concerns. Heaven & Earth Acupuncture routinely sees:

Women in menopause

As you approach menopause, your hormones fluctuate as your ovaries stop ovulating and producing hormones. During that time, you may have some specific concerns about your sexual health and your overall wellness. The team evaluates you and can address your concerns. 

Teens with irregular periods

Teens often don’t know what to expect when they have their first few periods. If there are any irregularities, you should address them early on. Teens should also discuss other concerns about puberty and women’s health topics related to their growth and development. 

Which women’s health conditions does acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture can help with an array of conditions that impact women’s health, including some that are lifelong. By creating an energy balance throughout your body, acupuncture can help improve symptoms and complications from:

• Endometriosis
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Menopause symptoms
• Amenorrhea (no periods)
• Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
• Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)

Beyond acupuncture, the team at Heaven & Earth Acupuncture can help you manage your condition by assessing your diet and making recommendations of foods to include or exclude. They might encourage you to avoid dairy and refined sugar, eat plenty of flaxseed, and exercise regularly.
