Mature Women
Many women begin to lose their sense of well-being in their 60’s 70’s and 80’s as pain and physical limitations replace their active, full lifestyle. Chinese medicine has a long standing focus on health cultivation and preservation.
My name is Abigail Thomas and I am a board certified doctor of acupuncture. I specialize in holistic women’s health through each stage of a woman’s life. I offer an individualized approach to relieving pain with acupuncture and massage as well as strategic consulting for mature women who want to preserve their health so they can be part of the community, spend time with their families and feel that spark of life that they deserve to feel.

Paula is a 63-year-old woman who came to me because she had been diagnosed with long covid. A year after having covid, she continued to have persistent vertigo, chronic fatigue and neurological symptoms. When she came to see me, she was under the care of a neurologist, rheumatologist, physiatrist and had seen several other specialists. She was told that her symptoms were most likely a long covid presentation but none of the medications that she was offered had been effective. Her biggest fear was that her life, as she had known it, was over. She feared that she would not be able to work, drive a car or take care of herself because of the way that she felt daily. Her main question was if acupuncture treatment might help her. She said to me “I have tried everything else, and no one can help me.” She had never had acupuncture before, and I explained that acupuncture treatment had a long track record of helping people with both vertigo and chronic fatigue syndrome. Because of my specialization in chronic conditions, I have successfully helped many people suffering from the symptoms that she was experiencing, even though long-covid was still a new condition. I completed an acupuncture assessment and suggested a treatment plan for her. She decided that she was willing to give it a try. Paula’s life is significantly different after being treated with acupuncture. About 8 weeks into the treatment plan, she regained the ability to drive a car and was able to return to work 4 days per week. She was no longer dizzy and we discussed how she can manage her energy level to prevent symptoms from recurring.
