Acupuncture Treatment for Period Pain

Painful periods are very common and can range from light to moderate pain, to severe period cramps, commonly known as dysmenorrhea. Acupuncture for period pain can help with alleviating pain symptoms.

Approximately 10% of females experience severe dysmenorrhea, which can be diagnosed by its associated symptoms including:

  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Vomiting
  • Severe menstrual cramps

Many young girls and women are unable to use pain killers to relieve their pain, and many prefer not to.

Evidence shows that acupuncture for period pain provides significant pain relief in people, whether or not they use pain killers like non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), making acupuncture a sound choice for women, regardless of their choices around pain killer use. [1][2]

Whether you have the symptoms of severe dysmenorrhea or are at the other end of the spectrum, having to suffer period pain to any degree each month can diminish your quality of life. Interested in finding out more about our Acupuncture for Period Pain treatments? Get in touch with us now!

Can Acupuncture Help Treat Period Pain?

If there’s one thing that studies into acupuncture tell us, it’s that acupuncture works to ease certain types of chronic and period pain. Symptoms of dysmenorrhea are on the list! [1]

Although there’s no cure for period pain per-se, there’s certainly a good deal that may be done to help you. Acupuncture for period pain is a great starting point. This viable treatment option could make dealing with that time of the month that bit easier for you.

Symptoms associated with periods include:

  • Pain radiating down the inside of your thighs
  • Back Pain
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Abdominal Cramps
  • Irritability

These numerous symptoms are obviously not fun to deal with – especially on a monthly basis! It’s definitely a recurring problem we’d all love to avoid. However, our skilled acupuncturists can help address your symptoms and determine the best course of treatment during your consultation.

Your practitioner may use any or a combination of Acupuncture, Acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dependent on your specific symptoms and general health.

acupuncture for period pain -painful periods and naturopathy

Effective Treatment for Period Pain

Acupuncture involves the use of very small needles being placed at points around your body to bring it into balance and treat your particular symptoms and pain.

Generally, you will have between five and 20 needles placed across points, and they are left there for the course of your treatment, with your practitioner turning them slightly at intervals.

A report that specifically studied how well Acupoint Pressure (Acupuncture and Acupressure) compared to using NSAIDs alone [1] concluded it’s an effective treatment for Period Pain with the following advantages:

  • Alleviated pain symptoms
  • Reduced Menstrual Flow (lighter Periods)
  • Fewer side effects than using pain killers such as NSAIDs

For the women in a range of studies analysed in 2018, the benefit of Acupuncture in decreasing Period Pain where no other treatments were administered was “significant”. [2]

Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Acupuncture uses very small needles to stimulate certain acupuncture points, and some people are surprised that they don’t feel anything in a lot of areas!

However, some people can experience a little tenderness, especially in tight places. This feeling is similar to a massage therapist massaging an area with a knot in it that you didn’t know you had.

Most clients find they get used to the sensation rather quickly. After your initial period pain acupuncture treatment session, the mystery of how it will feel to you is solved!

What Happens in a Period Pain Acupuncture Treatment Session with Your Acupuncturist?

1. Get the Proper Diagnosis

On your first visit, our experienced acupuncturist starts with a relaxed yet thorough consultation so we can understand your unique concerns, and create a course of treatment that suits you best.

We use the internationally recognised MRS mini-survey, conversation and other assessment tools to understand what needs attention immediately, and in the mid to long-term when it comes to your particular period pain symptoms.

2. Find Relief with Our Acupuncture for Period Pain Treatments

From the very first visit, our gentle acupuncturist uses this soothing and healing therapy to help reduce the number and intensity of hot flushes, help with sleep and mood concerns, promote deep relaxation, and support the other therapies we provide.

3. Medicine Specifically Prepared For Your Condition

Herbs play a prominent role in healing. Herbs can be dispensed as an “off the shelf” formula or our practitioners can create a formula specifically designed for you. Our clinic has over 100 herbs to suit your specific needs. Our practitioners can modify your herbal formula as treatment progresses to ensure your medicine suits your current condition.

From time to time, we may prescribe particular nutrients and supplements, as well as herbal medicines to address your symptoms and provide more effective pain relief for your condition.

4. Walk Away With a Plan to Tackle Period Pain

Acupuncture is part of a holistic system of mind-body medicine, so our acupuncturist works with you to create an easy, simple plan to support you through every life stage.

As each woman is different, we understand the need for flexibility and common sense. For most women, your plan will have an emphasis on food, diet and nutrition; for others, it will be about emotional health and well-being, sleep and stress management.

Some women will need the help of our naturopaths to support their entire hormonal system, particularly if there is diabetes or pre-diabetes or thyroid problems.

For women struggling with aches and pains, massage, as well as acupuncture and exercise therapies, will be suggested. From your first visit, we’re here to help you get the most out of your life, no matter what stage you may be at.

Acupuncture is widely considered a safe therapy, but occasionally, as with all therapies – conventional and complementary – results may vary, and adverse reactions may be experienced.

For those that do experience adverse reactions to acupuncture, the most common are itchiness & soreness at the site of the needles, light-headedness, mild bruising and muscle twitching.

You’re encouraged to communicate with your practitioner – they are there for you. Contact us now to find out more about our acupuncture for period pain treatments or book your treatment today!

FAQ's

When in your cycle should you have acupuncture?

Your practitioner may use any or a combination of Acupuncture, Acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dependent on your specific symptoms and general health. Your practitioner will discuss your personal situation with you during your first consultation and continue communicating with you about your improvements as your sessions progress. 

How do you relieve menstrual pain with acupressure?

Applying acupressure reports that specifically studied how well Acupoint Pressure (Acupuncture and Acupressure) compared to using NSAIDs alone [1] concluded it’s an effective treatment for Period Pain with the following advantages – Alleviated pain symptoms, Reduced Menstrual Flow (lighter Periods) and Fewer side effects than using pain killers such as NSAIDs 

Does acupuncture work for heavy periods?

If there’s one thing studies into Acupuncture tell us, it’s that Acupuncture works to ease certain types of pain; symptoms of Dysmenorrhea, Reduced Menstrual Flow (lighter Periods) are on the list. Although there’s no cure for Period Pain per se, there’s certainly a good deal that may be done to help you.

I had really bad swelling after birth, so I booked with Jules for a Lymphatic Drainage Massage. Jules was so informative and knowledgeable, she made me understand better what may be happening internally and I left feeling a lot better. Overnight the swelling went down drastically to the point I could walk fairly well. I will definitely be back. I could not fault the service.

Thank you to my new naturopath Colleen. I had never spoken to a naturopath before and Colleen really took the time to explain why I may be suffering from some of these symptoms. The supplements were very reasonably priced and I look forward to feeling better soon. I will recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a knowledgeable naturopath.

Simply put - the best place for overall health! I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while now and finally after having a recent bulging disc flare up I can honestly say Jules (massage therapist) & Kylie (acupuncturist) are the A TEAM! They are both are so knowledgeable and go above and beyond to make sure I leave feeling better than when I arrived. I literally wasn’t able to walk properly when I arrived and within 2 days I had proper mobility in my hips and lower back. I can’t thank this team enough! You can’t put a price on health but every cent spent here is worth it.

I visited a few weeks ago to have a lymphatic drainage massage. I am pregnant and was very well looked after and cared for by Jules. It was a really good experience with good communication and Jules took the time to help me and ensure I left feeling much better than I entered. Will book again soon.

I saw Craig a few years ago now during one of the hardest times of my life. All the medical professionals couldn’t find anything wrong with me but I knew that I wasn’t well. I was suffering from post viral fatigue and Craig was the only one who helped me. He really cared about my health and helped me to recover. I’m much better today and want to thank Craig for the support he gave me when no one else could help me.

If you are looking for a holistic approach to your health, look no further! I visited Sheridan today and I was so relieved to finally have found someone who genuinely cares about your health, and who is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the effect it has on not only your physical health, but your mental health as well! Sheridan is so caring, compassionate, and understanding, and always has her clients best interests at heart. I am looking forward to working with Sheridan and Brisbane Livewell Clinic long term to ensure that I am not only healthy, but happy too!!

After a few years struggling with thyroid disease I finally started to few better. Unfortunately the conventional medicine is very limited and don't see your body as a whole but in separate parts not connected. Craig has helped me to find what my body needed to optimize my health, something you won't find with your GP. It might sound costly but living a live of limitations can be way more costlier.

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

I know I’ll always be grateful that I found Brisbane Livewell Clinic. Craig leaves no stone unturned when it comes to looking at health issues and I’m feeling so much better than I did when I started going. I have more energy, my problematic skin issues have cleared up and my mood is better. I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about feeling your best self.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit.Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me.When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig.He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !

The Bowen technique was created by the late Thomas Bowen from Geelong Australia in the 1950s.
