Can Acupuncture help with Endometriosis?



Endometriosis is a common health condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, leading to pain, inflammation, and other uncomfortable symptoms. While there is no known cure for endometriosis, there are many ways to manage the symptoms, and one of the most effective options is acupuncture.


Acupuncture is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is a holistic practice that aims to restore balance to the body's energy flow, known as Qi. Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health conditions, including endometriosis.


How our endometriosis treatments work

At our practice we see this condition very often, but no two women are the same so our approach varies depending on the medical history, symptoms and health goals. First we have a comprehensive consultation where we will listen to your specific concerns and based on a number of factors, our expert practitioner will develop a treatment program that aims to stimulate the nervous system, promote blood flow, and release natural painkillers, such as endorphins. By doing so, we can help to reduce inflammation and alleviate the symptoms of endometriosis. Here are some ways our treatments aim to help:

  • Pain relief: The acupuncture protocols used at our practice stimulate the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers, reducing pain caused by endometriosis. We help reduce inflammation and muscle tension, which can contribute to pain.


  • Hormonal balance: Endometriosis is often associated with hormonal imbalances, and our treatments seek to restore that balance. We help regulate the endocrine system, regulating the release of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone naturally.


  • Reduced stress: Endometriosis can be a stressful condition, and stress can exacerbate the symptoms. Our treatments can help to reduce stress by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.


  • Improved digestion: Some women with endometriosis experience digestive issues, such as bloating and constipation. We can also help to improve digestion by stimulating the gastrointestinal system.


  • Enhanced fertility: Endometriosis can affect fertility, and acupuncture can help to improve the chances of conceiving. By promoting hormonal balance and improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, acupuncture can enhance fertility in women with endometriosis.

Our treatments are integrative blending acupuncture and modern science to return the body back to balance. We help by reducing pain, regulating hormones, reducing stress, improving digestion, and improving fertility.
