Areas of clinical focus
Acupuncture has been shown to provide short-term relief for:
Tension and migraine headaches
Chronic low back and neck pain
Temporomandibular (TMD/TMJ) pain
Temporary adjunctive treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain
Acupuncture may also help to relieve the symptoms of the following:
-
Menopausal hot flushes
Perimenopausal & postmenopausal insomnia
Restless leg syndrome
Shoulder impingement syndrome (early stage) with exercise or physio support

*During the hormonal shifts of perimenopause, many women notice increased joint sensitivity. Research suggests acupuncture can help by modulating sensory perception thresholds, supporting your body’s ability to manage physical discomfort and helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
