Acupuncture & Pain Neuroscience = A powerful tool for Endometriosis and Adenomyosis management.
Endometriosis isn’t always a direct reflection of what’s happening in the tissues!
At our clinic, we combine traditional medicine with modern pain science to assist women with endometriosis and adenomyosis manage symptoms of pain and discomfort.
Here’s how it works:
1. Pain is protective and is not always a sign of damage.
Your nervous system can become hypersensitive over time, sending pain signals even when there’s no new inflammation. Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system to interrupt these pain signals.
2. Pain is processed in the brain.
Chronic endo pain can actually rewire your brain. Acupuncture affects brain regions linked to pain, helping retrain your system to feel safe again.
3. Pain is more than just physical.
Stress, hormones, sleep, past trauma, they are all connected. Acupuncture doesn’t just treat the uterus and surrounding tissues, It helps the whole person by regulating the nervous system to improve pain resilience.
4. Pain and damage don’t always match.
Some people with minimal endo lesions have severe pain, while others with extensive endo have minimal pain. Acupuncture respects this complexity and works with each person's unique set of symptoms, and constitution. It's so versatile.
5. Pain is changeable.
When you understand how pain works, you suffer less. Helping to educate on pain and how to manage in between appointments with dietary and lifestyle modifications.
6. Pain needs individualised care.
Pelvic pain isn’t one size fits all. Your treatment should reflect you and your symptoms. That’s why our acupuncture plans are tailored to your symptoms, stress levels, hormones, and cycle patterns. We may use supplements and herbal medicine to assist in hormonal balance and stress levels also.
Research shows acupuncture can reduce pelvic pain, improve quality of life, and support hormonal and immune regulation for people with endometriosis. We love to integrate both ancient knowledge and modern science to support women at every stage of their journey.
