Can acupuncture help with period pain and irregular cycles?

Yes. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are commonly used to regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce period pain (dysmenorrhoea), and address underlying conditions such as PCOS and endometriosis by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormonal function.

Can acupuncture help with menopause symptoms?

Acupuncture is widely used to manage menopausal symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, mood fluctuations, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. At Flow Acupuncture, we combine acupuncture with herbal medicine where appropriate for a comprehensive holistic approach.

Is acupuncture safe during pregnancy?

When performed by a qualified AHPRA-registered practitioner, acupuncture is generally considered safe during pregnancy. At Flow Acupuncture, our practitioners are experienced in pregnancy care and will adapt treatment protocols to each stage of pregnancy.
