Wonderful post, it describes exactly the reasons why you need acupuncture. I’ve been going to my specialist these past few weeks and I can say that my situation has never been better ever since we started. I’ve been having sleeping trouble but it has dramatically decreased since I started with the acupuncture.

In reply to Jayne Bettison. Jayne, I've started seeing Carla Brion and she is phenomenal! I suffer from Endo and a couple of other issues and have had my first cycle completely pain free! She works at SA Integrated Therapies on Grote Street. Bec x

Hi Nat,
Just wondering if you know of any good acupuncturists in Adelaide who specialise in Women’s health also? I thought I had things back on track after having low estrogen (and no periods for years), but then seem to have now gone the other way where I am now not ovulating (or my body keeps trying to) and I think I’m getting a bit of a build up of estrogen (and no periods again!). Wondering if acupuncture may help? Thanks, Jayne x

Hey. I just wanted to point out (in case any one is wanting to check their acupuncturist is registered) that its not AACMA who regulate acupuncture, but AHPRA -Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (so confusing!). AACMA is a professional association for Chinese medicine practitioners and anyone who is listed with them is registered, but you can also be registered and belong to any of a number of professional associations.

I was recommended a TCM doctor who does pulse diagnosis as I have PCOS and higly irregular periods and wanted to have a baby. I was highly skeptical but thought he came recommended and it couldn’t do any harm. My first appt he listed about 8 health conditions that I had (other than PCOS and highly irregular periods right down to minor things) so I was intrigued. Within 2 months I had regular periods (albeit a long cycle) and felt full of energy amazing!! and found out I was pregnant 6 weeks later. I’ve just started seeing him again and had a period within 3 weeks of my first appointment. And I’ve always fainted with needles, dentist visits, you name it but I’m now fine with acupuncture. I’ve rdcommended it to a few of my friends who gave also had success in getting healthy.

I want to use acupuncture for my painful periods. I also have endo and a fibroid. Is acupuncture something I would do every week or just before my period? During my period?

Thanks!

Hi Nat
I have been getting acupuncture for two weeks now and going to my third treatment this week. I have a very unstable and sore foot. I have been seeing my osteo but haven’t gotten far. I feel relief when I get acupuncture. My whole body copes well. I usually get a headache the day I get acupuncture. My energy levels increase vastly and the inflammation and tightness reduces in my body. I am not aware of what I am meant to do days after the treatment. I usually feel sore and tired I the third day as I have gone overboard and tried to fit everything in because of the bound full of energy. I was told by the acupuncturist my qi is very low, spleen is weak, circulation in my foot is depleted, gallbladder is also weak. My pulse was fast and my body is Always warm. Not a lot made sense as my acupuncturist was Chinese was not fluent in English. Help
