🌸 Living with endometriosis can feel like your body is fighting you.

Pelvic pain, painful periods, bowel or bladder discomfort and fatigue are not “just cramps.” Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition that can amplify pain signalling and disrupt daily life.

At Confluence Acupuncture, we support endometriosis-related pain by helping regulate inflammation, improve pelvic circulation and calm sensitized nervous system pathways, gently and in a way that complements your medical care.

How acupuncture may help:
💢 Helps reduce pelvic pain and period pain intensity
🧠 Modulates pain signalling and central sensitization patterns
🩸 Supports pelvic microcirculation and tissue nourishment
😌 Helps regulate stress pathways that can worsen pain perception
🌿 Supports quality of life and day-to-day function

📊 A 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis reported clinically relevant improvements in endometriosis-related pelvic pain with acupuncture, with generally low rates of adverse events.
