Acupuncture for Women’s Health in NYC

A woman’s body moves through many hormonal cycles over her lifetime, each bringing its own changes and sometimes uncomfortable symptoms. In our Midtown Manhattan practice, we offer a range of acupuncture and Eastern medicine treatments specifically for women’s gynecologic health, each designed to restore hormonal and emotional balance as you navigate life’s transitions.

Empowering Women’s Health at Every Age

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments have been supporting women’s health for thousands of years. We continue to use them to help treat a variety of gynecological conditions and concerns through all stages of a woman’s life.

These Gynecological Chinese Medicine treatments include:

Uterine Fibroids
Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
Endometriosis
Candida

Uterine Fibroids

At least 25% of women are affected by uterine fibroids. The leading cause of hysterectomy in the U.S., fibroids can also hinder fertility. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have been used for centuries to treat uterine fibroids effectively.

Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is an endocrine disorder that impacts both fertility and general health. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine may stimulate the body’s own natural production of hormones and regulate the menstrual cycle by gently correcting underlying deficiencies.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

The term PID includes all inflammatory processes in the upper female genital tract. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can increase the immune system’s ability to fight infection and decrease inflammation
in the reproductive tract.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium. Treatment with acupuncture, herbal remedies and moxibustion is highly effective for those with continuous pain and hormonal fluctuations due to this condition.

Candida

Many conditions can lead to candidiasis, or overgrowth of yeast in the intestinal tract. Along with dietary guidelines and appropriate antifungal herbal remedies, acupuncture can successfully eradicate this condition in the short- and long-term.
