For many women the transition into menopause is an unpleasant one, but it doesn't have to be. Acupuncture is a natural, drug-free alternative to managing the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause. Rather than trying to restore your hormones to the levels they were in your 20s or 30s, Chinese medicine works to smooth your transition by nourishing your organ systems and bringing your body into balance with acupuncture, herbal formulas, diet and lifestyle changes.


Acupuncture can reduce or eliminate:

  • Hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Increased food cravings, stubborn weight gain, and difficulty controlling blood sugar
  • Sleep disorders such as insomnia, difficulty falling asleep or waking up frequently
  • Headaches
  • Poor concentration and memory
  • Mood swings, irritability, depression or anxiety
  • Menstrual irregularities (heavy periods or frequent spotting)

"In a matter of weeks, my severe night sweats and hot flashes disappeared with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I'm now also seeking relief from longstanding insomnia. My Western mind is at a loss to explain how it works, but the results speak for themselves! Dr. Rebecca Sprintz is thorough and kind, and I'm grateful to have been referred to her by a friend."

"Having been on HRT for almost 7 years, I was advised by my doctor to stop taking it. Since then I have had terrible problems with hot flushes. I was getting them very badly almost every hour! It was really affecting me, in addition to all of the terrible night sweats, facial flushing which even extended to my hands and uncharacteristic mood changes. My energy levels were also wiped out.


In June of 2010 I decided to give acupuncture a try having heard that it might be able to help. I saw Rebecca Sprintz and after the first treatment, I began noticing a big improvement straight away! After only a few sessions (once a week) there was a huge reduction in the amount of hot flushes I had, and the amount of time they lasted. After 5 weeks I was only getting 1 or 2 hot flushes a day.


To further improve matters, Rebecca had many Diet Therapy suggestions to reduce the heat in my body. I had no idea that all of my favorite foods that I ate daily were actually making my sweats worse! Between the acupuncture treatments, herbal remedies and all of her very helpful lifestyle and diet modifications, Rebecca has completely stopped the problem! In only 7 weeks of seeing Rebecca, I haven’t had a single hot flush. My energy has also come back and I’m absolutely delighted with my progress. I would definitely recommend anyone who is suffering from menopausal symptoms to try acupuncture and herbs."
