women have existed for as long as men and yet the NIH didn’t start including women in empirical studies until 1993.
Is it any wonder that it takes on average a whole decade to diagnose endometriosis, or that perimenopause is still considered just “part of aging,” or that debilitating period cramps are grouped into one of the many physical pains that are normalized into what it means to be a woman — rather than a pathological medical condition?
What we treat with cycles acupuncture
-
Periods.
No matter where you are in your menstrual cycle, acupuncture is a true regulator. Does it fix everything? Legally, I can’t say yes to that! But what I can say experience-wise is acupuncture can dramatically increase quality of life for people who are sidelined by their periods: be it pain, endometriosis, heavy bleeding, PCOS, PMDD, fibroids… acupuncture helps to bring you back to your truest baseline.
-
fertility.
Well Collab Acupuncture has been a leader in fertility in Westchester county since our inception in 2016. We’ve helped to bring so many babies into this world and continue to do so with continued care and attention to what your individual body needs.

perimenopause.
Get Xers and Millennials are putting perimenopause on the map, and for a good reason: most uterus-havers out there go through it. A WaPo article called it “reverse puberty” and we feel that around here. Hormones change, you change, and acupuncture can keep you level and even keeled.
