Chinese medicine serves as a rich and powerful resource for women as they explore each stage of their reproductive health throughout life.
Menstrual and reproductive health play a huge role in a woman’s life, and more often than not, gynecological care is often reduced to long-term birth-control usage or passively tolerating “that time of the month.” At Jafari Acupuncture Clinic, we recognize that the life-long journey from menarche to menopause is one of the most vulnerable, powerful and intimate experiences of womanhood.
Acupuncture is an effective and safe modality by which to alleviate any discomforts that arise throughout your pregnancy. Commonly treated conditions that our patients seek help for with acupuncture are nausea and vomiting, back pain, fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, anxiety, wrist pain, depression, and ankle swelling.
The first trimester is a critical and sensitive period. Most miscarriages and discomforts occur during this time period. Treatments focus on supporting the mother’s body, calming her emotionally, and improving blood flow to the womb.
Successful conception begins with healthy menstrual cycles, and healthy cycles are preceded by vibrant bodies. Whether you are trying to conceive naturally or with Assisted Reproductive Technologies such as IUI/IVF, we begin by painting a clear picture of your entire health. Our bodies are interconnected and nothing functions in isolation. As such, treating emotional, digestive, thyroid and other imbalances are integral parts of your fertility treatment.
To increase your chances of conception, our treatments focus on improving the quality of your egg cells and reproductive environment. We achieve this by improving blood circulation to the reproductive organs and balancing hormones that affect fertility.
While Traditional Chinese Medicine offers its own unique theories for diagnosing and treating pain, ever-advancing studies in sports bio-mechanics and kinesiology offer a similarly unique and powerful method of understanding physical injuries and pain.
We recognize the necessity of combining anatomy, sports medicine therapeutics, and orthopedics. Many of our patients are competitive athletes that want to know why their pain is occurring, how to stop the pain, and how to prevent it. We get our patients involved. We explain to them what’s going on, and we have them actively participating in their journey towards recovery.
