Women’s Health
Many women’s health conditions can be treated with acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle changes. We have a specially designed approach for each stage of a woman’s life. We address hormone changes that pertain to each stage, as well as the conditions that are common for women throughout our lives. One common theme in natural methods of supporting women’s health is to address the role played by stress and taxation. While these factors tend to have a cumulative effect on our bodies we age, stress, emotions and lifestyle also affect the health and well-being of younger women. At Balance, we are committed to treating you as a whole person, and to providing you with excellent care throughout each stage of your life.
