Acupuncture for endometriosis
A gentle and effective treatment to reduce the intensity and frequency of endometriosis-related pain and symptoms
Natural support for pain, hormone balance & wellbeing
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects 1 in 10 women. It can cause a wide range of symptoms including painful periods, pelvic pain, fatigue, digestive issues, and fertility challenges. While conventional treatments like hormone therapy or surgery may be helpful, many people seek additional, natural ways to manage their symptoms—and acupuncture is an increasingly popular choice.
How can acupuncture help with endometriosis?
Acupuncture is a gentle, holistic therapy that works by stimulating the body’s own healing response. When used as part of an integrated approach to endometriosis care, acupuncture can help reduce pelvic pain and period cramps,
ease inflammation, support immune function, promote hormone balance, regulate menstrual cycles, improve energy, sleep, and mood.
Studies have shown that acupuncture may reduce the intensity and frequency of endometriosis-related pain by calming the nervous system, increasing blood flow to the pelvic area, and regulating the body’s natural painkillers—endorphins and opioids.
A Whole-Body Approach
Acupuncture doesn’t just target symptoms—it looks at the whole person. Each treatment is tailored to your unique experience of endometriosis, whether that includes pain, fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, or fertility concerns. We take the time to listen and adapt your care as your needs change.
What to Expect from Treatment
Many clients find acupuncture deeply relaxing and report improvements not just in pain levels, but also in sleep, mood, and overall wellbeing. While results vary, a course of treatments is typically recommended to achieve lasting relief, especially for chronic conditions like endometriosis.
Treatments may also be combined with dietary and lifestyle advice, or work alongside conventional medical care as part of a well-rounded support plan.
