30-40% of couples trying to conceive are confronted with male fertility issues. Azospermia and oligospermia can be successfully treated with acupuncture. The frequency of visits vary from once a week to twice a week. It takes 10 weeks for sperm to mature, therefore regular treatment of 10 weeks is essential for optimun results.
Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common pain related symptoms which can be successfully treated by acupuncture.
Acupuncture is also effective for girdle pain during pregnancy. You may experience instant relief after the treatment if your condition is acute.
Meniere’s Disease
Meniere’s disease is an inner ear problem that can cause dizziness(vertigo), and hearing loss. It’s thought to be a lifelong condition. However, acupuncture can help ease symptoms effectively and lessen the negative impact on your quality of life.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is commonly described as a ringing in the ear, but some people hear other types of sounds, such as roaring or buzzing. Acupuncture can successfully relieve your condition by loosening stiffness in the neck and shoulders, improving blood circulation to the inner ear and brain. The earlier you start acupuncture treatment, the faster you will feel relief. Don’t wait too long until the symptoms become chronic.
Menopause
Hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping, joint and muscle discomfort, pain during sex, moodiness and irritability, forgetfulness, difficultly concentrating, are some of the symptoms that occur during menopausal transition. Acupuncture is a powerful alternative to hormonal replacement/medication to help ease menopausal symptoms.
Menstural Pain
Most women suffer from mild pain and cramps as their period begins, often combined with low back pain. The pain may vary in intensity from one month to the next and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, pelvic soreness, urinary frequency and headache, as well as feelings of depression and irritability. Consider acupuncture for a natural relief from these symtoms.
Constipation
Each individual has a particular bowel pattern, and what is normal varies widely. If you have fewer than three stools a week or having a difficult time passing stool, then you might consider acupuncture for a natural cure. Not only will we work on your constiptation, but we’ll also address other key issue which relate to optimum health and help you gain holistic health.

High blodd pressure is a major risk factor for stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronic kidney disease, and dementia.It is also a major cause of premature death worldwide. Medication may be a quick fix, but what’s important is to treat the root cause of the problem with acupuncture and herb.
