Endometriosis
Support for pelvic pain, painful periods, and improved quality of life.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that can affect many aspects of daily life. Symptoms may include painful periods, pelvic pain, pain with ovulation, digestive symptoms, fatigue, painful intercourse, and fertility challenges.
While endometriosis can be difficult to diagnose and manage, supportive care may help improve comfort, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How Acupuncture May Help
Research suggests acupuncture may help support pain management, quality of life, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being in individuals living with endometriosis.
Acupuncture is not intended to replace medical or surgical care when needed. Instead, it can serve as part of a comprehensive and collaborative approach to symptom management and quality of life.
What to Expect from Treatment
Every treatment begins with a conversation.
We'll discuss your symptoms, diagnosis, menstrual history, pain patterns, fertility goals if applicable, stress levels, sleep, digestion, energy, and overall well-being. The goal is to understand how endometriosis is affecting your life and create a personalized treatment plan.
Treatment takes place on a comfortable heated table with pillows, bolsters, and blankets available for support. Acupuncture points are selected based on your individual presentation, and you'll then rest quietly for about 20–30 minutes while your body has an opportunity to relax and restore.
Many patients report feeling calmer, more comfortable, and better supported as treatment progresses.
A Personalized Approach to Healing
Endometriosis affects far more than the reproductive system alone.
Dr. Carolyn takes a whole-person approach, considering how pain, inflammation, sleep, stress, digestion, hormones, nervous system regulation, and emotional well-being may be affecting your quality of life.
Acupuncture points are selected based on your individual presentation, and treatment may be enhanced with therapies such as herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, craniosacral therapy, aromatherapy, or lifestyle support when appropriate.
Care is always collaborative, and treatments are adjusted based on your goals, preferences, and response to care. The focus is not simply on symptom management, but on helping you improve comfort, function, and quality of life over time.
