Acupuncture for Period Pain and Other Menstrual Irregularities

January 29, 2021Acupuncture, BlogBy Toby Marchand
Acupuncture for Period Pain

Period pain is a common condition that affects 95% of menstruating women. Because of this, many types of treatments and medications that help relieve period pain have surfaced over the years. Acupuncture treatments through a registered acupuncturist have gained popularity as one of the ways to effectively relieve period pain. After all, there is good evidence that shows that acupuncture can significantly reduce the intensity of the pain brought about by menstruation. According to a study, manual acupuncture and electro-acupuncture were proven to be more effective compared to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Why is acupuncture effective in treating period pain and menstrual irregularities?

To understand why acupuncture can significantly reduce period pain, let’s understand how the acupuncture points work. When a registered acupuncturist inserts a very thin needle through your skin at specific acupuncture points in your body, it is believed that it will release endorphins who are known to be natural painkillers and change your brain activity.

One of the acupuncture points in the body is Spleen 8. This acupuncture point is said to help regulate menstruation and ease abdominal cramps. This point runs along the tender channel on the inner aspect of your tibia bone, and when this point is massaged, it proves relief especially when you are experiencing cramps.

During an acupuncture therapy session, the acupuncturist will ask you questions about your cycles and history. At each stage of your cycle, they will take note of the hormonal problems you are experiencing to better improve your future cycles. These problems include:

  • Mood swings
  • Digestive problems
  • Headaches
  • Fluid Retention
  • Breast tenderness
  • Bloating

Tips on finding a qualified acupuncturist to help you with your period pain

If you are looking for a qualified acupuncturist in the Broomfield area, make sure that you do your research in advance. Just like any medical professional, you want to go to someone who has received proper education and training to perform the treatment.

Search for acupuncturist Broomfield.

It’s important to find a list of acupuncturists in your area and do your research from there. Find out some general information about their background and services through their website so you get an idea about their processes.

Get a referral from your obstetrician-gynecologist.

Before anything else, you should get yourself checked with an obstetrician-gynecologist especially if you have been experiencing menstrual irregularities for some time. Your obstetrician-gynecologist knows what’s best for your reproductive health and if necessary, they can provide recommendations if you wish to try acupuncture therapy. Your primary physician should be able to provide a more reliable referral compared to others.

Find out what type of acupuncture treatment is best for you.

There are different types and styles of acupuncture therapy that work best on specific conditions. For you to get the best therapy, find out what type of acupuncture treatment is best for reducing period pain and other menstrual irregularities. Once you get in touch with an acupuncturist, make an appointment and ask whether the type of treatment they offer is what you are looking for.
