How Does Weight-Loss Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture works by balancing the flow of energy (Chi) that moves through the body's pathways.

Weight gain may be the result of disturbed energy flow between the regulating center of the brain, the hypothalamus. The Hypothalamus regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, and circadian cycles - the key factors that determines weight loss or gain. Acupuncture helps to restores the energy flow, help return the body to homeostasis and, as a result, aid in weight loss.

Acupuncture needles inserted into certain points on the body can aid weight-loss efforts by boosting metabolism, improving digestion, reducing cravings, curbing appetite, improving the way nutrients are used within the body and regulating hormones related to obesity, can also aid a person in recognizing when he is full and improve his liver function, which aids in digestion, nutrient processing and fat breakdown.

What to Expect:

The Weight-loss treatment consists of 12 treatments, twice a week and each appointment are at least two days apart. Weight-loss Acupuncture treatment had been around for couple decades aiding people in losing weight. It works. But it takes YOUR commitment to yourself as well to change your lifestyle and be willing to listen. We will only work with you if you decide that it is time to change!

Acupuncture For Infertility

Acupuncture for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - Infertility

Women who have PCOS will encounter many difficulties when trying to conceive a child due to a struggling fertility level.

Acupuncture aids the healing process for polycystic ovary syndrome by regulating the body’s hormones. The primary cause behind PCOS is the imbalance of the hormones in the female body, and acupuncture has been found to restore a woman’s regular hormone levels to a certain extent. One of the first results a patient will recognize as a result of acupuncture treatment is the improvement in their menstrual cycle. In turn, this restoration of regularity in a woman’s estrogen levels will augment the patient’s fertility levels. Any reproductive issues that have been caused by polycystic ovary syndrome will be considerably lessened, and the ability to conceive a child will subsequently be improved.

Additionally, at the Michigan Acu Clinc, Dr. Li specializes in the treatment of PCOS from both a nutritional/dietary perspective as well as through acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Utilizing nutritional, acupuncture and herbal therapies can help alleviate irregular, painful menstrual cycles as well as manage insulin resistance and the development of diabetes which becomes prevalent with PCOS.
