The Benefits of Acupuncture for Women’s Health

For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used to treat a variety of ailments, including women's health issues. Our treatments can provide effective relief from common women's health concerns while enhancing overall well-being by targeting specific acupuncture points. Acupuncture offers the following benefits for women's health support:

Regulates Menstrual Cycles and Addresses Irregularities

Acupuncture regulates menstrual cycles by balancing hormones and improving ovarian function, promoting consistent ovulation and less variability. It stimulates specific points to boost blood flow and reduce inflammation in the reproductive system, aiding conditions like PCOS or amenorrhea. Studies show enhanced menstruation and ovulation rates, especially combined with herbs or lifestyle changes. Patients often report fewer hormonal symptoms after sessions, enhancing reproductive health non-invasively.

Reduces Stress and Anxiety, Which Can Impact Women's Health

Acupuncture eases stress and anxiety that worsen women's health issues by engaging the parasympathetic system, cutting cortisol, and boosting endorphins for calm. It's especially helpful during hormonal shifts like menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause, where emotions amplify symptoms. Evidence shows it reduces anxiety and IVF stress, improving balance. As a safe add-on, it builds resilience and quality of life without major side effects.

Enhances Fertility by Improving Circulation and Regulating Ovulation

Acupuncture enhances fertility by targeting points that boost blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, nourishing follicles and supporting healthy egg development while regulating ovulation. It balances hormones like FSH and LH, potentially improving IVF implantation rates through stress reduction and optimized environments. Studies show gains in ovulation regularity and endometrial thickness, offering non-drug support alongside conventional care.

Improves Sleep Quality and Reduces Insomnia Often Linked to Hormonal Fluctuations

Acupuncture improves sleep quality and eases insomnia linked to women's hormonal changes by regulating melatonin and calming the nervous system, fostering longer, restorative rest. It's particularly useful during perimenopause or pregnancy, when estrogen shifts disrupt sleep and cause fatigue. Trials show better efficiency, duration, and fewer awakenings, with lasting benefits. Without drugs, it breaks insomnia cycles, boosting mood, energy, and hormonal balance for daily ease.

What to Expect During your First Acupuncture treatment for Women’s Health

Health Assessment

During your initial visit at The Subtle Point, we will go over your chief concerns, medical history, lifestyle routines, and your health goals. Next, they'll conduct an examination of any areas of pain, check your tongue and pulse, and ask targeted questions to uncover any subtle imbalances in your body. Drawing from all this insight, they'll deliver a precise diagnosis and craft a personalized treatment plan designed just for you.

Acupuncture

During your acupuncture session, you'll get comfortable on a treatment table. The practitioner will gently insert thin, sterile needles into specific points on your body. You might feel a quick pinch when the needles go in, but it's usually painless and even relaxing. Then, just lie back for 20 to 30 minutes while the treatment does its thing. Almost all patients will leave the clinic feeling very relaxed.

Aftercare and Follow-ups

After your acupuncture session for women's health concerns, your practitioner will provide personalized aftercare advice, including suggestions for lifestyle adjustments, dietary tweaks, and easy at-home practices to help maintain and enhance the benefits. We will discuss a recommended follow-up schedule tailored to your specific needs and condition, typically suggesting an average of around 5-10 treatments for most women’s health issues. In some cases such as acupuncture for fertility treatments or for other chronic issues, more treatments may be needed. Subsequent visits will be adjusted based on your treatment goals, how well you're responding, and your overall progress.

I’ve been seeing Mike for almost two years now, and I can’t recommend him enough. He’s helped me with everything from digestive issues to anxiety, stress, and even seasonal allergies. Most of all, he’s been a huge help with regulating my hormones and easing monthly symptoms.

One of the things I appreciate most is how easy he is to talk to. He really listens and makes every session feel personal and comfortable. He has a calm, friendly energy, and I always leave feeling better—physically and mentally.

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and knows what they’re doing, this is the place!

I'm really glad I did this deal. All of the mental stress and exhaustion was gone by the time I got home from doing the acupuncture. My organs felt much more clearer from the acupuncture as well. The cupping really helped resolve a lot of my problem areas such as lower back pain and especially shoulder pain. The pain immediately subsided and I felt I was given a new body. Michael thoroughly asked questions to help ensure all my problem areas were addressed and gave detailed info on how to fix them. Highly recommend.

    Mike is the best! I went to see Mike after a year of horrible, irregular, menstrual cycles. After two acupuncture sessions, he got me back on track and I plan to continue monthly sessions with him for my overall well being. I highly recommend seeing Mike for just about any ailment you’re dealing with. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and I’m so glad I found him!

    Michael is amazing! I started going to the Subtle Point for intense headaches in my first trimester of pregnancy and they completely went away after 2 visits. I've continued to see Michael throughout my pregnancy to help manage various symptoms, all of which are gone after a visit. I'll definitely continue to see Michael for the remainder of my pregnancy and for postpartum care as well. Would 10/10 recommend!

    Mike's work yields results! I have had pain for 2 years and improved greatly in the first treatment. I'm continuing for a total healing. He's a kind, easy to talk to professional. Very clean office.

    Michael at the Subtle Point Denver Acupuncture has changed my life. I used to live with severe PMS and very painful menstrual cycles that I would have to make plans around so I could attempt to enjoy my life. Michael takes an in-depth and holistic approach to your treatment plan and I've referred both my best friend and my partner to him (and they've both gone back several times!) because of his high quality work.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Acupuncture employs needles that are substantially smaller than those used by doctors for injections. The sensation has been compared to an insect bite or a pinch, however most people do not experience anything at all. Certain points can be painful to needle, and we aim to avoid them unless they are absolutely essential. If they are, we usually use thinner needles for those points. If you are sensitive to needles, we will modify your therapy so that you can reach your health goals while remaining comfortable.

  • The number of acupuncture treatments for women's health issues like dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, infertility, menopausal symptoms, PMS, and others varies by severity, duration, and response. Clinical guidelines recommend 8-12 sessions, typically 1-2 weekly over 2-3 months, for improvements in pain, cycle regulation, and hormonal balance; chronic cases may extend to 15-20 with monthly maintenance. Deep relaxation during/after sessions enhances well-being.
