Painful periods or dysmenorrhea can be debilitating yet is comes every month! If you suffer from it, you know what I’m talking about. Severe cases can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea and even faint. There are two types of dysmenorrhea, primary (it just happens) and secondary (there is an underlying cause). Most common conventional treatments are painkillers and oral contraceptives.
Dr. Yang, ND offers a different approach which includes acupuncture based on your Chinese Medicine diagnosis, herbal medicine that balances hormones and increases circulation, lifestyle changes to decrease inflammation in body. The combined therapies have long lasting effects on reducing duration and severity of pain. In some cases eliminate menstrual pain completely.
