Menopause & Perimenopause Acupuncture Support

Natural relief for hormonal transitions, emotional balance, and whole-body wellbeing

Supporting Women in River Forest • Oak Park • Chicago

Menopause is a significant hormonal shift — not a disease. Yet the physical and emotional symptoms can feel overwhelming: hot flashes, sleep disruption, anxiety, weight changes, brain fog, joint pain, or irregular cycles during perimenopause. These changes are real, valid, and deeply individual.

Acupuncture offers a clinically supported, drug-free approach to regulating the nervous system, modulating hormones, and restoring equilibrium as your body transitions through perimenopause and menopause.

Whether your symptoms are mild or disruptive, consistent acupuncture can help you feel more grounded, balanced, and energized during this time of change.

How Acupuncture Supports Menopause & Perimenopause

Acupuncture works by activating your parasympathetic nervous system, improving circulation, and supporting endocrine and adrenal function. Over time, this helps re-balance the body’s temperature regulation, mood, and sleep cycles.

Common improvements include:

• Reduced hot flashes and night sweats

• Improved sleep quality and fewer nighttime awakenings

• Greater emotional stability, less anxiety or irritability

• Support for weight balance and metabolic health

• Better focus, clarity, and reduced brain fog

• Relief from joint stiffness, muscle tension, and headaches

• Support through hormone changes after hysterectomy or oophorectomy

This is a holistic approach, not symptom suppression — we look at the entire system and treat the root cause of imbalance.

Personalized Treatment for Every Stage

Every woman experiences menopause differently. Your treatment plan is customized according to your cycle changes, stress levels, sleep patterns, and constitutional needs.

Your session may include:

• Acupuncture

• Herbal or botanical recommendations

• Craniosacral therapy (if needed for nervous system calming)

• Advanced cupping therapy (for tension, circulation, inflammation)

• Energy work to ease emotional processing

• Lifestyle & nutritional guidance to support hormonal stability

This integrative approach helps the body transition smoothly while protecting long-term health.

Menopause, Stress & Nervous System Support

The hormonal changes of perimenopause can heighten the stress response, leading to:

• anxiousness or irritability

• sleep problems

• emotional overload

Acupuncture helps regulate the HPA-axis (hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal system) — the pathway that governs stress, hormones, and temperature regulation. Patients often describe their treatments as the one place they can “fully exhale.”
