What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional stage before menopause, often beginning in a woman’s 40s but sometimes as early as her mid-30s. It can last for several years as hormone production gradually declines, eventually leading to menopause. Aiello Family Chiropractic has licensed Acupuncturists experienced in the use of acupuncture for perimenopausal symptoms.
Common perimenopausal symptoms include:
- Irregular periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Sleep difficulties
- Mood changes and anxiety
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Weight changes and fatigue
Because these symptoms can fluctuate and last for years, many women seek natural, long-term solutions.
Acupuncture for Perimenopausal Support
Acupuncture helps regulate the body’s systems during hormonal changes, promoting smoother transitions and reducing discomfort. For perimenopausal women, acupuncture can:
- Stabilize menstrual cycles by balancing hormones
- Reduce hot flashes and improve sleep quality
- Support mood regulation through nervous system balance
- Enhance energy levels and mental clarity
- Address digestive and metabolic changes linked to fluctuating hormones
Research suggests that acupuncture reduces the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms (like hot flashes) and improves overall quality of life for women in perimenopause.
