Acupuncture is a practice from Traditional Chinese Medicine that takes a holistic approach to the person. It can be used alongside medical follow-up to support various conditions and stages of life.
In Aix-en-Provence, I offer acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine consultations, with an approach particularly focused on women’s health.
Depending on your situation, acupuncture may in particular support issues related to the menstrual cycle, endometriosis, fertility, pregnancy, the postpartum period or the menopause, as well as stress, sleep disorders or some kinds of pain.
What happens during an acupuncture session?
The session begins with a discussion to understand the reason for your visit, your general health and your lifestyle.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, various elements are taken into account in order to establish an individualised approach.
The acupuncture session is then adapted to your situation. The needles used are very fine and are placed at precise points on the body.
As every person is different, the number of sessions and how often they take place depend on your situation and your goals.
Why see an acupuncturist?
Acupuncture may be considered in particular to support:
- stress and tension
- sleep difficulties
- fatigue
- pain
- functional digestive disorders
- discomfort related to the menstrual cycle
- premenstrual syndrome
- endometriosis
- a fertility journey
- pregnancy and the postpartum period
- the menopause
Acupuncture does not replace a medical diagnosis or treatment. It can be part of complementary care.
Acupuncture and women’s health
Traditional Chinese Medicine offers an overall reading of the different stages of a woman’s life.
Support can therefore evolve with the cycle and the stages of life: periods, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, the wish to become pregnant, ART, pregnancy, postpartum and the menopause.
The aim is to offer individualised care, taking into account all the symptoms and the context of each person.
