You are probably here right now because you finally want to experience more energy, less stress, and a greater sense of overall peace and balance in your life. It is likely the case that you are struggling with one or more chronic health problems and you are looking for help-ideally using natural solutions.
Acupuncture & Pain
From back pain to headaches to joint pain, acupuncture has been known to be of excellent support. In fact, although acupuncture can heal the body in many ways most people associate acupuncture with pain relief. It is the most common reason for which people seek acupuncture.
Along with providing pain relief, acupuncture works to heal the root of what is causing your pain. Of course, lifestyle changes may be necessary and Samina will work with you and make recommendations to help improve these areas.
Depending on how long one has had the issue, will generally determine the length of time it will take to feel significantly better. Most often people will feel relief within the the first three sessions. However, in order to achieve the best results, treatment should be continued beyond that in order for the body to learn to heal and for you to be free of pain.
Samina is aware of the demands and needs of athletes. Sometimes support is needed in order to complete an upcoming marathon or compete in the game coming up. Acupuncture will help accomplish these goals. However, acupuncture is not geared at nor meant to be a band-aid. It works to alleviate symptoms while treating the root causes of health concerns.
Acupuncture & Women's Health
FERTILITY
Acupuncture supports all stages of pregnancy, from conception to birth. This is achieved by:
Balancing stress hormones
Regulating the menstrual cycle (influencing hormones related to pregnancy)
Increasing blood flow to the uterus (which allows for thickening of the uterine lining-increasing the chances of implantation)
IVF & IUI support:
Improve success rate of IVF/IUI
Reduce side effects of hormonal treatments
Reduce stress levels
PREGNANCY
During pregnancy acupuncture is used throughout the process. In the first trimester, treatments are geared at promoting full term births, easing nausea and vomiting, and decreasing fatigue.
After the first trimester, treatment is used on an as needed basis. Such as for pain, prolonged nausea and vomiting, and hot flashes. Towards the end of pregnancy, acupuncture may be used to treat depression (post as well), support breech presentation, and to induce labor.
Herbal Treatment
As a part of acupuncture treatment, an herbal therapy may be prescribed to compliment the treatment. The combination of acupuncture and herbal therapy has been proven to be a perfect partnership to assist an individual on the road to optimal health.
