Acupuncture
Acupuncture may be used as part of an integrated approach to the management of pain and inflammation. It can enhance the body’s own healing chemicals in order to aid recovery and encourage the body to self repair. Acupuncture needles may also be coupled to an electro acupuncture unit. This delivers electrical impulses which stimulate chemicals from the brain to aid healthy function in the body.
In addition to pain relief acupuncture may also help the following women’s health problems:
- Painful periods
- Nausea in pregnancy
- Menopausal hot flushes
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
Acupuncture may improve ovarian blood flow and function
