Women's Health

For a woman, it is important to actively care for your health through all the phases of her life. Not only nurturing your well-being a part of living in harmony with nature’s cycles, but it can also improve your quality of life.

Most women face a wide variety of health concerns as they age. They may be from PMS, fertility and childbirth issues, menstrual problems, to menopause & beyond. Whatever your concern, Laser Acupuncture offers a safe, natural, and effective way to support your health, physically and emotionally.

A whole-body approach to healing: Laser Acupuncture takes a holistic / whole-body approach toward health. According to Acupuncture philosophy, Qi (pronounced as “chee”) is the vital energy that animates the body and flows the pathways called meridians to nourish all of the body’s cells, tissues, and organs. When there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Qi, the cells, tissues, muscles, and organs will receive an inadequate amount of your body’s vital energies. When this occurs, physical symptoms relating to various medical concerns may result.

Gynecological health:

As regards gynecological health, Acupuncture philosophy tells us that specific meridian and organ systems, in this case, the kidney, spleen, and liver, are related. When one or more of these systems are affected, one may experience uncomfortable symptoms before or during the period. Fertility issues can also be related to these organs. We find the underlying imbalance and devise a treatment plan that helps your body regain its natural balance.

PMS:

Your menstrual cycle can provide a great deal of information about your overall health. Unfortunately, many women suffer from a wide variety of symptoms every month. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS), can cause cramps, bloating, fatigue, breast pain, mood swings, and changes in appetite during the onset of menstruation. But you shouldn’t have to dread your period every month. Laser Acupuncture with dietary changes and exercise can help you regain hormonal balance and achieve symptomatic relief.

Fibroids and Endometriosis:

Changes in your period can have several causes, some of which are serious. If you start to experience intense pain or heavy bleeding, talk to your healthcare provider or contact us. Uterine fibroids are one of the more common causes of menstrual problems in women in their 20s and 40s. Fibroids are non-cancerous lumps that can grow in the uterus and in some cases cause long, heavy periods, pain during sex, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the stomach.

Endometriosis also affects many women in their 20s and 40s. It occurs when uterine cells start to grow outside the uterus and can cause low back pain during menstruation, pain during sex, nausea and vomiting, and fatigue.

Western treatments for both of these conditions often include medications or surgery. Several studies have shown that Laser Acupuncture can significantly relieve the painful periods often associated with these conditions.

Fertility, Pregnancy, and Childbirth:

Facing fertility issues can be very stressful for the body, mind, and spirit. But there is Hope. Many couples who seek fertility treatments can conceive. Laser Acupuncture can be of great help. Laser Acupuncture has been not only shown to increase the chance of getting pregnant when used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF); but also shown to increase the chance of getting pregnant naturally. It is also effective in addressing the emotional aspects of infertility as well as the underlying causes.

Pregnancy comes with its own unique challenges. Since so much is demanded of your body at this time, caring for your health is key for the well-being of both you and your child.

Laser Acupuncture is safe and effective for many of the symptoms that often accompany pregnancy, including

• Anxiety and stress

• Back pain and sciatica

• Constipation

• Edema

• Fatigue

• Heartburn

• Hemorrhoids

• Morning Sickness

Recent studies have shown that the use of Laser Acupuncture during labor pain may actually reduce the need for pain medications and help the mother stay more relaxed. After childbirth, Laser Acupuncture can help new moms take much-needed time to recover, rebalance and rejuvenate.

Menopause:
Laser Acupuncture is a gentle, natural, non-evasive, and effective way to deal with the symptoms of menopause. Laser Acupuncture balances menopausal symptoms, by balancing hormones, reducing hot flashes, insomnia, and irritability, and inducing better sleep. It will improve your quality of life and inspire you to take a positive perspective on the changes happening in your life.
