Acupuncture For Menopause Relief

If you live in Dallas and struggle with menopausal symptoms, acupuncture could help. Menopausal symptoms can leave women feeling not like themselves. Between the hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, and dry signs, this transition may feel less than graceful. Fortunately acupuncture and herbal medicine provide a wonderful alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and act as a natural, safe, drug-free way to control these symptoms. Numerous studies have shown how women have experienced these benefits through greatly reducing hot flashes/night sweats, difficulty sleeping, and mood deregulation. This transition does not need to be a difficult one.

Acupuncture can relieve these symptoms and make you feel like yourself again. Another important aspect of your treatment is understanding how your diet effects your condition. We augment our traditional therapies with lifestyle and diet recommendations to unlock your body's ability to heal.

“Ellee took the time to explain everything to me in a way that was really easy to understand. I told her my symptoms, and she told me about all the different nerves that were causing them, where they were located, and how they’d be treated. She is both professional and caring, and she made the whole process very inviting, especially for something that was new to me.”

Is Acupuncture Right For You?

For more than 4000 years, acupuncture has proven effective in treating the symptoms and addressing the root cause for many problems.

From a biomedical perspective, acupuncture works by stimulating parts of the brain to release natural biomolecules such as neurotransmitters, vasodilators and hormones. Scientific research shows that these biomolecules trigger the immune system and pain regulating mechanisms resulting in a broad spectrum of systemic effects. Studies done through Neuroimaging, Thermal Imaging, and Ultrasound prove the effects of acupuncture are beneficial.
