As women navigate the transitions of peri-menopause and menopause, they often face a myriad of challenges—weight gain, sleep disturbances, stress, irritability, fluctuating hormones, and joint pain. These symptoms can take a toll on both physical and emotional well-being, making it essential to explore holistic treatment options that promote overall health.
Why Choose Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a time-honored practice that offers a natural approach to managing these symptoms effectively. Here’s how regular acupuncture can make a significant difference in your life:
