Restoring Balance for Every Stage of Womanhood

Balance for Every
Stage of Womanhood

Are you dealing with mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, irregular or painful periods, digestive discomfort, weight fluctuations, or fertility challenges? If conventional treatments have left you feeling discouraged—or if you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, hopelessness, or isolation—you’re not alone.

Many of these symptoms are rooted in hormonal imbalance. Our hormones regulate nearly every system in the body, and disruptions in the communication between endocrine glands and target organs can have far-reaching effects. Hormonal shifts during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause—as well as imbalances from stress, diet, environment, or underlying medical conditions—can all contribute to chronic symptoms and decreased quality of life.

At Austin Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, we specialize in helping women restore hormonal balance naturally. Through personalized acupuncture treatments, Chinese herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance, we address the root causes of your symptoms and support your body’s innate healing capacity. Our holistic approach can help regulate menstrual cycles, improve fertility, ease digestive issues, stabilize mood, and increase overall vitality.

You don’t have to keep pushing through. Schedule a consultation with one of our experienced practitioners and take the first step toward feeling balanced, supported, and empowered in your health journey.

Women's Health & Hormonal Balance

Empowering Women
through Every Stage of Life

Premenstrual Syndrome Or PMS - PMDD

Approximately 75% of women are estimated to experience PMS. While many are familiar with common symptoms like fatigue, cramping, lower back pain, acne, bloating, breast tenderness, and heightened sensitivity, some may face more severe disruptions. These intense symptoms can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and work. Understanding and addressing these challenges can lead to better management and improved well-being.

While the exact cause of PMS remains uncertain, research indicates that cyclic hormonal changes and brain chemistry fluctuations throughout a woman's cycle are significant factors. However, studies show that acupuncture can effectively address both common PMS symptoms and the more severe PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). Book an appointment with us to identify your specific symptoms and explore proven acupuncture therapies designed to alleviate your discomfort and improve your daily life.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Or PCOS

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 10% of women in North America and is a leading cause of ovulatory infertility. Often diagnosed during attempts to conceive or while addressing irregular cycles, PCOS can feel overwhelming. However, with the right support, you can significantly improve your health and fertility. Explore how acupuncture can help manage PCOS symptoms and support your journey toward better health and fertility.

PCOS often leads to increased insulin resistance, affecting the body’s ability to metabolize insulin and glucose. This can result in glucose intolerance, impaired metabolism, elevated lipid levels, high blood pressure, mood swings, and irritability. If left untreated, PCOS can contribute to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Acupuncture can play a crucial role in managing these symptoms, supporting balanced insulin levels, and improving overall health.

For effective PCOS management, both Western and Chinese medicine emphasize the importance of diet and weight control. The primary goal is to regulate blood sugar levels, reduce insulin resistance, and enhance glucose metabolism to stabilize mood and maintain a healthy weight. For many women, achieving weight loss and following a low glycemic diet, along with regular exercise, can help improve insulin sensitivity and potentially restore normal ovulation. Acupuncture complements these efforts by further supporting hormonal balance and overall well-being.

At Austin Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, we address the root causes of hormonal imbalances to both correct symptoms and resolve underlying issues. Schedule an appointment to assess your symptoms, and let us craft a personalized acupuncture plan along with tailored nutritional guidelines to help regulate your menstrual cycle. Our experts can also recommend effective Chinese herbs to stimulate ovulation and create a comprehensive treatment plan suited to your unique fertility needs.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis, affecting 176 million women globally, is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue reacts to menstrual cycle hormones but cannot exit the body, leading to severe pain, inflammation, internal bleeding, and bowel issues. Common painkillers often fail to provide relief from these debilitating symptoms.

If you're struggling with severe cramps, prolonged periods, heavy menstrual flow, bowel and urinary disorders, nausea, pain during intercourse, or infertility due to endometriosis, we offer relief through acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Our treatments aim to reduce pain and improve your quality of life.
