Acupuncture for Menopause

Most Recent Studies Support Why Growing Numbers of Women Report Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is Beneficial for the Treatment of Menopause Symptoms.

Tyack Health’s Kuan-Sing Kao M.D.(Acu. & Chinese Medicine) has a special interest in treating menopause with traditional Chinese Acupuncture and herbs. It is encouraging to know that the positive results patients report back are also supported by recent research.

A recent study published in Acupuncture in Medicine suggests that traditional Chinese Acupuncture lessen the severity of hot flushes and other symptoms associated with menopause. While the study was small, the conclusions offered by the authors were encouraging, especially for women who want relief from menopausal symptoms but do not wish to resort to hormone replacement therapy. Also noteworthy was the fact that the effects of the Acupuncture treatments appeared to be cumulative.

In a 2009 study of breast cancer patients and survivors reported in Science Daily, researcher Eleanor Walker, M.D. of America's Henry Ford Hospital stated that Acupuncture “offers patients a safe, effective and durable treatment option for hot flashes” and went so far as to say that “Acupuncture actually has benefits, as opposed to more side effects” as compared to drug therapy.
