Endometriosis causes severe abdominal pain and cramping in women, most often associated with the menstrual cycle. Western medicine has procedures to address it, but the Raleigh Acupuncture endometriosis treatment offers a natural, safe, less invasive way to resolve pain with long-lasting effects.

The Problem
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue that usually lines the inside of the uterus develops outside instead. Normal functioning endometrial tissue in the uterus thickens, ruptures, and bleeds with every menstrual cycle. The problem occurs when this tissue starts to develop outside the uterus. Dislocated tissue gets trapped, having no way to exit the body.
The main symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain, most often related to the menstrual period. Although many women experience cramping during their menstrual cycle, women with endometriosis typically have worse pain than usual.
Common endometriosis symptoms include:
- Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
- Pain during or after sex
- Pain during urination and bowel movements
- Heavy bleeding
- Infertility
- Other symptoms like dizziness, nausea, or bloating
The Solution
The Raleigh Acupuncture endometriosis treatment can relieve this condition. It addresses the root cause of the problem, called Blood Stagnation. By improving blood circulation, endometrial tissue does not readily accumulate. Increased blood circulation also helps break up existing endometrial build-up.
We use specific points on the body to restore normal blood flow. These points strengthen your body’s ability to move blood through the vessels and within the organs. That’s one reason acupuncture brings long-lasting results – treatments empower your body to take care of itself.
Acupuncture Relieves Endometriosis
The Heart, Spleen, and Liver are essential organs in Chinese medicine to maintain healthy blood circulation. Each patient will require a slightly different focus for their treatment depending on their symptoms, history, and constitution.
As we nourish your body’s blood circulating mechanism, you will start to feel less pain. In addition, with each treatment, you will feel changes happening in your body. Cramping will ease, periods will be less painful, and menstrual bleeding will decrease. For women seeking to get pregnant, your body will become more fertile. In other words, good blood circulation will make it much more likely that you will conceive.
Other Endometriosis Symptoms
For women struggling with dizziness, nausea, or bloating, these symptoms will also ease. Endometriosis and the accompanying pain associated with it taps your body’s resources. Resolving this pattern and stopping the pain will free up energy for better purposes.
Good blood circulation to the head eases dizziness. In addition, improved blood circulation to the stomach reduces nausea and bloating. Finally, enhanced blood circulation nourishes the organs, promoting better energy throughout the day and improved sleep at night.
What To Expect
All needles are sterile, single-use, and hair-thin. You will hardly feel them. The treatments themselves are relaxing – many of our patients fall asleep during their sessions. The acupuncture quietly works while you rest. Afterward, you will feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

What our Clients are Saying
I never had painful periods until I moved and started a new job. Very high stress. Every month I started getting migraine headaches and severe cramping. A friend suggested Raleigh Acupuncture and I got treated. It helped three things – reduced my stress, stopped the migraines and totally stopped the painful periods. They were all related and all triggered by my job stress. It was fascinating learning more about my body and how things like work really do take a toll. I’m trying to lead a more balanced life now. I’m continuing acupuncture until I get a less stressful job.
Periods are supposed to be painful, right? Guess what? THIS IS NOT TRUE! Why didn’t I know about acupuncture ten years ago? Do yourself a favor. Check these people out. Don’t be freaked out by the needles. They don’t even hurt. You don’t have to put up with pain every month!!
I suffered from painful periods my entire adult life. They started me on birth control pills as a teenager, and that helped until my mid-twenties. Then they got painful again, like ten out of ten pain with terrible cramping. Luckily my job is flexible, because I would miss two days each month from the pain. I found Raleigh Acupuncture on the internet and liked their website. During the initial visit they explained why my periods were so painful and how Chinese medicine addressed it. It made a lot of sense to me so I tried it. They told me it would take three cycles to regulate my period, but honestly I starting feeling better within a few weeks. I can honestly say that now my periods are not painful at all and my period is “normal”. I am so relieved and grateful. If you have painful periods you need to try acupuncture.
