Acupuncture Treatments for Menstrual Disorders Tewkesbury

Menstrual Disorder Treatments Tewkesbury

There are many disorders affecting menstrual cycles such as Dysmenorrhoea, amenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome just to name a few. At least one of these will affect around 50% adult women and up to 75% of adolescents.

Taking Dysmenorrhoea as an example, it is often treated using NSAIDs or the oral contraceptive pill which although may mask the symptoms but not treat it’s cause.

Acupuncture can help by regulating neuroendocrine activities, increasing nitric oxide levels relaxing the smooth muscles and hence inhibiting uterine contractions. Increase relaxation and reducing tension which can help combat the negative affective states. It stimulates the local nerves, muscles and other tissues, releases endorphins and other hormones balancing out pain levels.

CONSULTATION

Your first acupuncture treatment for menstrual disorder Tewkesbury begins with an in depth consultation, the perfect opportunity to get to know each other a little and to discuss your problem. The consultation will include questions surrounding your general health to ensure we have the information we need to make an accurate diagnosis.

TREATMENT

This is followed by a gentle acupuncture treatment, where we take the first step on your healing journey. It may include other types of Chinese Medicinal therapy such as Cupping, Moxibustion or Tui Na massage; your practitioner will formulate the perfect combination for you.

RELAX

After we have inserted the needles, there will be time for you to kick back and relax. Some patients like to use this time to meditate, to focus on the feeling which happens around the acupuncture needles (some report it tingley, some like gentle electricity- everyone is different!) and some even take the opportunity to have a power nap. The most important thing is that you feel relaxed and comfortable.
