By inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points, an acupuncturist can break up blockages that have hampered the smooth flow of Qi. Once done, Qi can travel freely throughout the body, promoting pain-free health, well-being, and vitality.
Not only can acupuncture treat signs and symptoms of pain and discomfort, but it can also get to the root of the problem. When the initial cause of the pain is corrected, your body can begin to heal on deeper levels.
Your acupuncturist may also suggest adjunct therapies to enhance treatment and speed healing, such as acupressure, stretching, yoga, herbal supplements, and dietary changes.

TCM tells us that specific meridian and organ systems, in this case, the kidney, spleen, and liver, are related to gynecological health. When one or more of these systems are affected, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms before or during your period.

Fertility issues can also be related to these organs. Your practitioner will work to find the underlying imbalances and devise a treatment plan that will help your body regain its natural balance.

Your menstrual period can provide a great deal of information about your overall health. Unfortunately, many women suffer from a wide variety of symptoms every month.

Premenstrual syndrome, known as PMS, can cause cramps, bloating, fatigue, breast pain, mood swings, and changes in appetite during the onset of menstruation. But you do not have to dread your period every month.

Acupuncture, combined with herbal medicine, dietary changes, and exercise, can help you regain hormonal balance and achieve symptomatic relief.

Changes in your period can have several causes, some of which may be serious. Talk to your healthcare provider if you start experiencing intense pain or heavy bleeding.

Uterine fibroids are one of the more common causes of menstrual problems for women in their 30s and 40s. Fibroids are non-cancerous lumps that can grow on the uterus and, in some cases, can cause long-heavy periods, pain during sex, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the stomach.

Endometriosis also affects many women in their 30s and 40s. It occurs when uterine cells start to grow outside the uterus and can cause low back pain during menstruation, pain during sex, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Western treatments for both these conditions often include medications or surgery. While more research is needed, several studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly relieve the painful periods often associated with these and other conditions.

Facing fertility issues can be stressful for the body, mind, and spirit. But there is hope. Many couples who seek fertility treatments can conceive. Incorporating acupuncture and TCM into your overall treatment plan can help.

Acupuncture has been shown to increase the chance of getting pregnant when used in conjunction with Vitro Fertilization, and TCM can be very effective in addressing the underlying emotional causes of infertility.

Pregnancy comes with its unique challenges. Since so much is demanded of your body at this time, caring for your health is fundamental for the well-being of both you and your child. Acupuncture and TCM are safe and effective for many of the symptoms that often accompany pregnancy, including anxiety, stress, back pain, sciatica, constipation, edema, fatigue, heartburn, hemorrhoids, and morning sickness.

Recent studies have shown that the use of acupuncture during labor may reduce the need for pain medications and help the mother stay more relaxed. After childbirth, acupuncture and TCM can help new moms take much-needed time to recover, rebalance, and rejuvenate.

Generally, men tend to be poor at self care and often reluctant to seek medical care from a complementary or conventional professional. However more men are beginning to realise the benefits of preventive care. As men live longer, they realise it is important to maintain optimal energy, acute mental function, balanced emotions and good physical strength and stamina. All the above mentioned problems that can be faced by men in the process of aging can be addressed with TCM and specifically with acupuncture by improving the circulation and slow down the process of andropause and its accompanying health problems. 
By doing so, it makes a full and vital life into “old age” for men a reality.

Dr Louis will first do a detailed consultation and assessment with you to find out the root cause of the issue. He will then draw up a custom treatment plan that can include but not restricted to acupuncture, cupping, Chinese herbs and natural supplements along with other TCM modalities.

One study found that acupuncture may improve the quality of life in patients undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It was also found that women receiving acupuncture reported significantly less abdominal pain, nausea, and stress two hours after oocyte retrieval (egg collection) compared to women receiving conventional analgesia.

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed recent studies and concluded that acupuncture helps to:
● Increase blood flow to the uterus, which improves the chances of an ovum implanting on the uterine wall.
● Reduce anxiety and stress.

Kidneys control the release of an ovum, and they also control the body's growth and development. Healthy kidneys are required to have a healthy body, mind, and pregnancy. If an imbalance exists within the kidneys, this can result in infertility. TCM and acupuncture can nourish and support overall kidney health.

A woman's body requires an adequate blood supply to sustain a normal menstrual cycle, a growing fetus, and a healthy pregnancy. Complications within the spleen can result in an inadequate supply and imbalance of blood.

Acupuncture and TCM can improve blood circulation to promote a healthy flow of blood to the uterus.

To conceive and have a healthy pregnancy, it is relevant to have a free flow of energy and blood throughout the body. The liver is in charge of facilitating this function. When it is out of balance, areas of the body will not receive adequate energy and blood flow. This imbalance can lead to depression, anxiety, stress, and an increased possibility of infertility.

Acupuncture and TCM provide a safe, effective, drug-free, and natural approach to treating infertility and enjoying a healthy pregnancy. Here are a few reasons to try acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine:● An acupuncturist does not treat just signs and symptoms, but instead activates the body's natural healing potential by treating the root causes that have led to the problem or disease.● Acupuncture and TCM are completely natural. Drugs are never used.● Acupuncture and TCM can be used to strengthen, support, and balance overall health and well-being, therefore can increase the effectiveness of other procedures.
Also, consider acupuncture during your pregnancy and birth. According to the World Health Organization, acupuncture has been found useful for relieving labor pain, nausea, and vomiting and significantly reducing the duration of labor.

However, it may be something good to add in for additional help. There may be many more benefits of acupuncture.

Acupuncture is a painless procedure. When it comes to geriatric health, acupuncture has fewer adverse effects than the majority of conventional medical therapies. If any adverse reactions occur, they are usually minimal. Needles may cause discomfort as they penetrate the skin, although the discomfort will be brief. Additionally, you may bleed somewhat. Individuals seldom suffer from nausea and vomiting, however, the symptoms often last little more than a day. Hiring transportation help would be great for your immobile senior to get them to and from appointments with their acupuncturist.
