CURIOUS ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE FOR PERIMENOPAUSE OR MENOPAUSE?

Living a normal daily life while battling with the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can be incredibly tough. Conventional treatment for menopause isn’t for everyone, and can result in unwanted side effects. Acupuncture offers a natural, safe and effective alternative treatment for perimenopausal symptoms and works in harmony with your body – guiding you through this time of change with gentle support and relief.

After trying all sorts of remedies, acupuncture was the only therapy that actually worked to lift the extreme fatigue brought on by perimenopause.

Everyone experiences menopause in their own unique way. However, the varied – and sometimes embarrassing – symptoms you are experiencing may be more common than you realise. You are certainly not alone.

Common menopausal symptoms you may be experiencing:

Insomnia
Hot Flashes
Night Sweats
Fatigue
Anxiety and Depression
Irritability
Brain fog/forgetfulness
Weight Gain
Vaginal dryness

A Swedish study in 2007 found that women receiving acupuncture had greater lasting relief from hot flashes for even longer than women on hormone replacement therapy. Acupuncture is safe, effective and painless when administered by a licensed, board certified acupuncturist.

Dana Hoffman is Midwest’s Licensed Acupuncturist, and has years of experience helping Chicago women through this difficult time of transition in their lives.

After chemotherapy for breast cancer, I was foisted into menopause and the hot flashes were excessive and uncomfortable. I didn’t want to take any medication, and besides, anything with estrogen in it was medically out of the question for me. I was doubtful about acupuncture, but also desperate to find a solution where nothing else had succeeded.

I met Dana when she had a table set up near her office during a community summer event. I was just beginning to toss the idea of acupuncture around, so I stopped for more information. Soon I had an appointment and was laying on Dana’s table, skeptical about my whole decision to even be there.

The needles were mild, and just relaxing on the table was heavenly.

I don’t recall if I had improvement immediately, but within a very short period of time I realized that 10-12 hot flashes per day had become only 5 and then reduced further still in the weeks to follow. They did not go away entirely, but they did diminish in severity to the point where they were hardly bothersome and as long as I dressed in layers, I was no longer in the position of feeling like I needed to strip down to my underwear to feel comfortable.

I am so grateful that I stopped by Dana’ s table that day. I’m not sure I would have ever otherwise given acupuncture a try, but the fact that it worked was not only a surprise but an enormously welcome relief.
