While each woman experiences her menstrual cycle differently from the next, many feel at least some level of premenstrual cramping. Hatice Daspinar, the acupuncture practitioner at Lifetime Acupuncture & Weight Loss Clinic of Deer Park, NY, understands how this kind of pain can affect your day-to-day life. In order to treat this and other menstrual-related symptoms, she offers acupuncture pain management treatments as a holistic alternative to medicine.

From regular, over-the-counter pain relief pills to hormone medication, there are many substances that are dedicated to helping PMS and menstrual irregularities. Yet, when foreign substances enter the body, there is a greater likelihood of further complications, including unfavorable side effects. Acupuncture pain management does not have the same risks because it does not introduce any foreign substances into the body.

Instead, an acupuncturist will encourage hormonal balance by taking an all-encompassing, natural approach to healing. Your reproductive system comprises both emotional and physiological wellness, and it is primarily controlled by hormones. By encouraging a healthy energy flow through acupuncture, your body’s systems — hormonal, physiological, and emotional — can attain balance.

In addition to providing acupuncture pain management, Hatice can provide acupuncture for stress therapy. Your stress levels may also fluctuate with your hormones, and you will find that the benefits of acupuncture extend far beyond relief from PMS pain. In fact, some women have even seen improvements in fertility, irregular menstruation, endometriosis, and hot flashes with the help of an acupuncturist.
