FAQ's about Acupuncture & PMS.

How many sessions are needed for PMS?

This varies depending on symptom duration and severity. Many treatment plans are structured across at least one full menstrual cycle to observe pattern changes.

When should I come in for PMS support?

Many women attend in the luteal phase (after ovulation and before menstruation), when PMS symptoms are most noticeable.

Can acupuncture help with both physical and emotional PMS symptoms?

Treatment in TCM is designed to address both physical and emotional presentations, as they are viewed as interconnected within the menstrual cycle.
