“All they ever offered was medications and hormones. Yet, I still felt like things were ‘off’. Turns out, I was right and it was The Axelrad Clinic where they finally listened to me and gave me a simple plan to follow that must have fixed the root problem because 2 months into my treatment my period came back after a 6-month hiatus and it’s been regular ever since. Not only that, but I have my energy back.”

Success Stories From Real Patients

“As a first time user of chinese medicine, I was at first skeptkcal of the results I might get. After just 3 sessions I had a noticeable improvement for all conditions we were treating. I felt good about the process as it also helped me to stop taking prescription drugs to control the conditions. the prescription drugs worried me due to the side effects it might have on my unborn baby. I continued to do 2 sessions a week with Chris Axelrad up until the week before my delivery. I am grateful for Chris’ expertise and friendship and would highly recommend him and his practice to anyone in search of a better way!”

“As a young, single woman going through pregnancy on my own, I was very stressed out and overwhelmed with my situation. Even after my first visit with Chris, I felt more relaxed and confident in myself, and the threat of depression withered. Chris is very professional and respectful and has an excellent bedside manner. Not only did the qigong help relieve my issues, also his comforting advice eased my issues.”

Mary – 25 – Social Worker


“Towards the end of my 2nd trimester with my second child (a boy) I experienced dramatic changes in my health. I started having panic attacks, I would have trouble breathing, I developed blood pressure issues and a very serious case of insomnia. My chemicals had become completely unbalanced and I couldn’t function mentally or physically. After being hospitalized twice for dehydration, exhaustion and high blood pressure my OBGYN suggested a series of medications to keep these issues at bay. I researched the medication and the side effects on my unborn child. It didn’t take me long to recognize that both the short and long term side effects on my child made medication not an option. I started to research alternatives and that’s when I came across Axelrad Clinic. I met with Chris. His bedside manner and his knowledge put me at immediate ease that he could help me without taking medication. It took several (5 or 6) visits before I started to notice any changes, and then things shifted completely. I started to sleep, my blood pressure came down, I was breathing easy. During the remainder of my pregnancy, I did acupuncture with Chris 2x a week and avoided taking any medications. Plus I had the best naps EVER in his office during treatment.”

“My baby boy was born a healthy 8 1/2 pounds in May of 2007. He’s two now and I continuously think back to how Chris helped us.

“Last summer I was in an accident and shattered my leg. Through supplements and other Chinese medical treatment Chris helped me to improve the speed and quality of my healing and to get through 5 surgeries in 4 months. There is no doubt in my mind that Chris’s input made a huge difference. My orthopedist still can’t believe it.

“I am happy to say that I am healed and chasing around my little boy who keeps me hopping.

“Thanks Chris. You are the best.” Shelley – 40 – Financial Advisor


I came to the Axelrad Clinic after losing trust in all the conventional and alternative doctors I had seen. I’ve been on so many drugs: bioidentical hormones like estrogen and progesterone, hydrocortisone, sleep aids, and adrenal support supplements just to name a few. Nothing helped the continued excessive bleeding, insomnia, fatigue, hot flashes, and night sweats. Chris was all ears. He listened patiently and shaped a treatment plan for me. After 4 treatments I was able to get off all the prescription drugs and hormones and my symptoms were alleviated.

He brought back my trust after ten (10) long years of bad experiences with unsuccessful treatments. I highly recommend Chris Axelrad for menopause and women’s issues. His attentiveness to my problem enabled me to recover in a short time. – Sonya, 49


After years and years of headaches 3-4 times weekly, I no longer have them at all. And, that’s not even what I came here to treat! – Grace, 42


Several months ago, I came to Chris feeling just off-center. I was not ill necessarily, but I was definitely not myself. I was literally speeding into peri-menopause; my stomach was gaining too quickly, I was experiencing hot-flashes, I was not sleeping well, I was not digesting well, my period was off. After I saw Chris a few times for acupuncture, and after I established his suggested vitamin/mineral/herbal regime, I began to feel increasingly stronger. Now, I feel almost 100% back to normal. My period seems back to normal, my hot-flashes are rare, I’m not so tired because I’m sleeping better and my digestion seems very normal. Also, my moods are much more even. Through his treatments, his seminars and conversations with him about my issues, Chris taught me so much about my body and its wellness. He is a great listener and seems to really care about how to get and keep me well. He worked with me on many levels that enabled me to continue treatments and thrive under them. He really helped to bring me back to “center” physiologically and mentally. I would absolutely not be feeling this well without his treatments and will go back as much as I need in order to keep me feeling this way.

I am 27 years old and my health has been deteriorating since I was 19 years old. My freshman year in college I was experiencing severe nausea and vomiting every day. I was diagnosed with glucose intolerance and put on a lot of medication and a strict diet. Five years later I felt fine and took myself off the medications. Then last October I started experiencing extreme abdominal pain. The pain lasted everyday all day. I also had extremely painful periods. I went to my gynecologist and they suspected endometriosis so I had a laparoscopy and they found 2 minor spots that tested positive for endometriosis. I was told that the pain would go away after the surgery but it didn’t. So they put me on injections for 3 months. I believe this made the pain worse. The pain got so bad that I couldn’t get out of bed and all I could do was cry. I didn’t give up and I continued to seek out doctors. I saw a gasterinterolgist and an endometriosis specialist. They wanted to rule out everything else so I had a ultrasound, endoscopy, colonoscopy, MRI, cat scan, and lots of blood work. Everything came back negative and looked perfectly fine. My pain was just getting worse and continued to be a mystery. I was starting to become very discouraged, depressed and I felt hopeless.

My best friend started to research endometriosis and abdominal pain to try to help me find some answers or alternatives I could try. She came across the Axelrad Clinic on the internet and she really believed in the natural holistic practice of medicine. She first approached me about it 3 months ago but I told her I was really skeptical about the alternative medicine and I wanted to try the injections instead. Since the injections only made my symptoms worse I felt that I hit rock bottom and was willing to try anything. Alli approached me again and insisted I try it. Thank God she did because I have only been on Chris’s supplements and herbs for 1 month and I feel better than I ever have. I have gone through numerous surgeries, procedures, and various extensive drug treatments and Chris’s approach of supplements and herbs has been the only thing that has given me relief.

I have been treated by many doctors and specialists in Houston and San Antonio for the last 9 years. My experience with Chris has been extremely different than the other doctors I have seen in that Chris is a great listener and he is great at putting things in perspective and giving me hope. He is the one person that I have found that truly takes time and puts his heart and soul in the practice and gives extra special care to his patients.

I feel a lot better. I have more energy during the day and I’m sleeping through the night for the first time in a year. But most important I am pain free.

I have already recommended this clinic to my sister and my good friend. Both of which are experiencing pain and discomfort.

I think my favorite part of this treatment was seeing such unbelievably positive results in my body. I think what amazed me the most was that because I don’t live in Houston, Chris treated me long distance and through trial and error and phone consultations I feel 100% better. I look forward to our weekly visits on the phone because each time he enlightens me with his knowledge on the human body. I am amazed at how this holistic approach has helped me so much.

“I really enjoy continuing to receive your newsletters even after so many years since I’ve lived in Houston. I just wanted to send a note to say that I really appreciate the treatments I received from you. That was really the first time I had felt in many years what it was like to have energy and not just be making it through the days. The job I took in Pennsylvania was a really awful experience, but it led me to Massachusetts which was amazing. Now I’m in Costa Rica!”


“I came in to see Chris feeling like I was at the end of my rope. My mental and physical energy were at their very lowest and I was experiencing panic attacks that left me frightened to the point where I just wanted to stay at home.
“Realizing my fear of needles, Chris suggested that we use Qigong – what a great experience. Through Chris’s ability to seek out the areas that needed help with his healing hands, I can actually feel improvements in my physical makeup but also a marked improvement in my panic attacks and am able to function as a normal person again. Through kind words, healing hands and constant listening to my ailments I definitely know that there is hope. Thank you Chris! You are amazing.”

I wanted to let you know that I had the most wonderful sleep last night. I went to bed at around 11 and slept till the alarm woke me up. In the morning, I felt very refreshed and could get up easily. I have again this light and happy feeling throughout the day. You are a wonderful healer.

– Gina – 45 – Medical Researcher


“I enjoy working with Chris very much. He wants to know my concerns and priorities, and he shapes a treatment plan accordingly. I’ve been to other practitioners of alternative medicine, but I don’t use their services any longer because I’ve never felt as listened to as I do with Chris.”

“Chris is a very caring individual. I came to Chris for general health maintenance issues including insomnia for over two years, cold hands and feet, and some digestive complaints. I have been very impressed and think that Chris is a very gifted healer. And, I have seen improvement in all areas where I wanted help — I am sleeping through the night almost every night, my hands and feet are no longer cold all the time, and my digestion has improved tremendously. All this after just 4 treatments!
“I’m not a big fan of needles, but Chris is very gifted, and the needles were painless. I have been to several acupuncturists in the past and my best experience has been with Chris. There should be more practitioners of natural medicine like him in Houston!”

– Karen – 39


“I suffer from chronic pain in my ankle joint and have had long standing nerve and circulation problems in my foot due to an old ankle injury, resulting in partial fusion. I first came to Chris during a severe pain episode. While acupunture has not cured the arthritis pain, it has lessened it’s severity and lessened greatly the other problems in my foot. At the end of the day I would experience burning and discomfort and soreness in my foot. While having weekly treatments and taking the herbs Chris provided, this pain and discomfort went away.”

– Annie – 39


“This note is long overdue. The month of December is just a little too demanding. I also chose the last two weeks to stop taking my arthritis meds.
“Your herbs have helped me considerably. I still have pain but it is tolerable and I usually sleep all night now. This is all amazing considering just 6 months ago I was in pain all of the time and woke up at least 2-3 times a night.

“I still do the exercises that you gave me every day and also use heat alot on my hands. I hope to see you soon.”

– Anita – 53


“I was a patient of Chris Axelrad’s for a period of appoximately two months for the treatment of neck pain associated with several whiplash injuries sustained many years ago. The pain appeared to be muscular in nature, though a baseline MRI 4 years ago and subsequent MRIs (the most recent being at Chris’ suggestion) showed progressive spondylsis and cervical stenosis C4, C5 and C6. I went to Chris for acupuncture relief for the tightness, limited range of motion and inflammation of the muscles. In addition to acupuncture, Chris administered herbs and recommended some strengthening exercises.
“While my neck pain is still prevalent, it has lessened and I have learned to manage it with Chris’s guidance. I was very impressed with Chris’s abilities and most of all his genuine care for my well being. He followed up with calls and emails several times a week for several weeks after treatment to check on me. How many care providers would do that?

I would recommend Chris Axelrad for pain relief and have referred several people to him.

– Mary – 49 – Attorney


“Within a week of Chris treating me (2 appointments) my knee had improved by 25% after 2 weeks, I was at 70%. I continued the treatments and increased my range of motion. I was running and playing sports and did not look back after 2 months. Prior to seeing Chris, I had been injured for almost 2 months, seen 2 Doctors with no relief in sight. I highly recommend Chris Axelrad, his evaluation and attention to detail in my recuperative process enabled to fully recover in 2 months time.”

“I am a forty-year-old woman, who is a newlywed of six months. One of my shared goals with my husband was to try to have a baby of our own. Honestly, at my age, I truly did not believe it was possible, but I was more than willing to try every natural resource before giving up. My husband and I decided to go to a fertility doctor and get a full workup on both of us. This way we would know if it was still possible for either one of us to conceive. This takes a good 6-8 weeks to get all the tests done. At the same time, I decided to get the name of an acupuncturist. A doctor friend of mine who was undergoing breast cancer treatments and seeing Chris to combat the effects of the chemo recommended him. I had never had acupuncture before. After my first meeting with Chris, he recommended a diet change. I wanted to lose about 15 pounds before I got pregnant. I was suffering from poor circulation, bad nutrition, and low energy. I followed Chris' instructions to the letter. I lost six pounds the first week and detoxed the heck out of my body. I started feeling so much better. In fact, I said to my husband one day, "I had no idea I could ever feel this good again. If I had, I would have made the necessary changes years ago." After only four sessions with Chris, I was pregnant. That entire month, I followed a healthy diet, exercised, took the vitamins he recommended, took the herbs he recommended and relaxed. Before I got pregnant, I lost a total of 13 pounds. The irony here is that the fertility doctor I went to said I could not get pregnant without insemination. I'm now 5 weeks pregnant and feeling really good. I continue to see Chris and will continue throughout my pregnancy. I cannot tell enough people that this is how I got pregnant. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind. I have enjoyed this experience so much that my stepson and husband are now in the process of seeing Chris. I now believe there is so much more to learn about health and the body. I look forward to the growth I am experiencing and the guidance I receive from Chris.”

“I am so grateful I came to visit Chris and give acupuncture a try. My husband and I had been trying to start a family for nine months and did not seem to have any luck. My menstrual cycles were exceptionally long and painful. I also was under a great deal of stress at my job. Chris was a great listener and very helpful to me in numerous ways. Acupuncture combined with herbal medicine helped me feel better physically and mentally. I felt more relaxed and was able to think more clearly. I also experienced less pains during my menstrual cycle. Most importantly, the acupuncture and medicine helped the length of my menstrual cycle decrease. These changes as a result of therapy, I believe enabled me to achieve my goal of starting a family. After four months of working with Chris, I became pregnant and am now expecting a little girl in less than 6 weeks!! I highly recommend trying acupuncture and/or herbal medicine with Chris if you are experiencing any stress, depression, having problems with your menstrual cycle, or having difficulty becoming pregnant. This experience has been a huge blessing in my life.”

“My husband and I had been trying to conceive for nearly 18 months. Because I was older than 35, my OB-GYN wanted us to begin testing for possible infertility after six months, but we spread it out a little bit longer. After completing blood tests, HSG and semen analysis, nothing indicated why we had not been successful. We decided to do IUI as this was the most "natural" form of insemination. The first round was not successful, so we scheduled a second round for the next cycle. In the meantime, I decided to try acupuncture due to reading other testimonials about the successful outcomes at The Axelrad Clinic. I am not exactly sure how long I met with Chris, but I don't think it was more than an entire cycle before I got pregnant. We did that second IUI, but I honestly believe it was done too soon because I didn't actually ovulate until four days later (I misread my signs). I believe that the theory behind acupuncture, treating the whole body, is what was required to get my system in sync. I have recommended acupuncture to friends who have had trouble conceiving and they have also experienced success.”

“I came to Chris for acupuncture treatments in November 2006, in preparation for my first IVF cycle in January 2007. Immediately, I was impressed by his approachable manner, knowledge of infertility, and his willingness to incorporate my needs and concerns into the overall treatment approach. Since the main reason why we were doing IVF was because of my husband's severe male factor infertility, the main focus of my treatments with Chris was to promote my general level of fertility, while bringing other systems into balance. We also worked with relaxation techniques and focused breathing, which allowed me to better deal with stressful situations. Unlike other acupuncturists I had met in the past, Chris focused on a few key areas to promote my fertility and increase our chances for IVF success, rather than "throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the problem," as he put it. I followed his easy and helpful dietary changes and came in for treatments once a week until the IVF cycle began, then two times during the ovarian stimulation phase and before the embryo transfer. Two weeks after the embryo transfer, we found out the first IVF cycle was a success! I am now pregnant with our first child, who is due October 16, 2007. There is no doubt in my mind that our successful IVF cycle is due in part to the acupuncture treatments and stress relief techniques from the Axelrad Clinic of Chinese Medicine. I highly recommend him as a very knowledgeable acupuncturist who specializes in the realm of infertility, and who takes a personal interest in your determination to overcome infertility.”

"My best friend got pregnant through the assistance of acupuncture after a struggling with infertility issues for 5 years. Now, she is a mother of two beautiful children.

“When my husband and I finally decided that it was time to start a family after seven years of marriage, we were very hopeful that we'd get pregnant immediately. After six months of trying to conceive naturally with no luck and constant attention to my cycle, I visited my OBGYN, who told me to wait one full year to pursue fertility treatments. I was not in the mindset to wait, so I pursued visiting a fertility specialist. After running lab work, an ultrasound and an HSG, she diagnosed me with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and suggested that I try to lose some weight. She also had my husband's sperm tested, which also posed challenges for our conceiving naturally.

“Rather than start medical fertility treatments right away, I decided that maybe my friend had found the answer through acupuncture. I contacted The Axelrad Clinic and began working with Chris to help treat our fertility issues and the anxiety that I was feeling about the process. From the beginning, he was very thorough and detailed. He taught me ways to deal with my anxiety and to think about my fertility in a new light.

“After seeing Chris consistently for four months, I decided that it was time to pursue assisted reproductive therapy. We chose to do an IUI and hormone injections along with a round of acupuncture. I had done my homework and discovered that the success rate for IUI was only 20%, so I was not expecting a positive pregnancy result. Yet, two weeks later, I actually did receive a positive result! I am confident that the lifestyle changes I had made (losing weight and eating healthier) along with the acupuncture and the IUI procedure resulted in conception. I just returned from my 8-week OBGYN appointment where I saw the baby's heart pumping.

“I am so very thankful to Chris Axelrad for his patience in working with me through some heartbreakingly difficult months, listening to me and for guiding me through the fertility process. If you are experiencing fertility issues, I highly encourage you to meet with Chris and let him give you a new perspective!”

“Hi Chris from the Women's Pavilion at Texas Children's. Went into labor on my own 1 day late. Ignored the contractions all day at work as I've had them for over a month that always dropped off to nothing. Once I got home, they didn't stop, and I could not sleep. Holy cow! This really was it! Our beautiful son graced us with his presence at nearly midnight on 8/26. He is alert and sweet and full of personality. we can't believe he is here. He is a great, calm baby, easy to console. He is also a big boy- 8lbs 6oz, 22.25" long. Thank you for all of your help in our journey. You were such an instrumental piece in keeping my sanity through IVF and beyond.”

“The Axelrad Clinic is amazing! From the moment you call, you are treated like family. They make setting appointments or rescheduling them a breeze. Chris was able to treat my anxiety, define an adrenal problem, and help with my overall health. I am a school teacher, and I used to get sick several times a year. Now I am healthy year-round! They recommend great brands of vitamins and even sell them online for refills! I first went to Chris for general health but am excited to begin working on fertility with him now as well! I recommend the clinic to all my family and friends and can't think of a better place to go to become healthy and whole!” - Jennifer

“I never thought I would face infertility. We were shocked and upset when IVF didn't work the first time. My doctor wanted to make sure I knew about all of my options and referred me to Chris for acupuncture. Chris really focused on my overall wellbeing. He addressed my stress (what stress?!), how well I was (not) sleeping and my (lack of) energy. Chris is highly knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. After all the needle pokes of IVF I wasn't too thrilled about more needles with acupuncture. That being said, you hardly feel them! It's now super relaxing and I usually doze off. I'm happy to say that we're now expecting our miracle baby! I'm so grateful for my entire medical team, including Chris and The Axelrad Clinic. I would definitely recommend The Axelrad Clinic to anyone struggling with infertility. The entire staff will make you feel right at home.” - Kate

“Chris, I wanted to let y’all know that we saw two heartbeats today. They are 6 weeks and one day a long, so it is very early, but it was an incredible thing to see today after trying for 4 years. Thanks for your magical touch and I pray this will continue. - Scott”

“Hi Chris! It's been a while, hope all is well!! I wanted to share some exciting news with you since you have been a major part of this journey. We are pregnant!! What a blessing!! Back in April the doctor recommended, after 3 failed cycles, that we pursue IVF. In May I went to visit you and you gave me herbs to prepare me for IVF. I told you and my doctor that I would take the summer off and pursue IVF in the Fall. Well, to our big surprise, we conceived naturally, and I am 9 wks. pregnant today! We found out a couple of weeks ago and the doctor has been monitoring my pregnancy each week. Everything looks good, we have a strong heartbeat, baby is growing and developing, and we are praying for the best! I know it’s still early, but I wanted to give you the news and thank you for all your help in getting me where we are today! ? I need to come and visit you and the staff soon!! All the best, Martha”

How It Works…

We address the root cause

Our process includes finding and attacking the actual root CAUSE of your PCOS. This is why we’ve helped so many overcome PCOS even when other therapies didn’t work. Even those with a long family history of PCOS-like issues have experienced significant relief.

We use an all natural approach your doctor doesn’t know about

Your doctor may have told you that medication is the ONLY answer or that you have to just live with your PCOS and accompanying symptoms. That doesn’t mean there’s no other options, it just means your doctor has run out of ideas or there aren’t conventional treatments available. We find that people who don’t respond well to conventional treatment often respond very well to our natural approach.

We help you awaken your body's natural healing system

Despite what you may have been led to believe, your body is not “broken” and it IS possible to take control of your hormones and resolve PCOS naturally. That’s because your body never forgets how to heal itself. It just needs the right support. Your body makes its own internal medicines to fix PCOS on its own, and our therapies help it do just that.

We keep it simple and results are quick

Resolving the hormonal imbalance that causes PCOS does not have to be difficult or take a long time. Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our targeted natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to attack the problem head on, and patients often see improvement in symptoms within DAYS not WEEKS or MONTHS.

We focus on how you FEEL - not just the numbers

While everyone else is looking at pieces of paper with numbers, and not listening to you – WE focus on YOU, your story, and how you feel.

Are you feeling more hormonally balanced? Are you feeling more energy? Are you thinking more clearly? Are you starting to lose those unwanted pounds? Does your skin look healthy and vibrant? THAT is OUR focus. NOT more expensive, unnecessary lab tests.

Our approach ALWAYS includes stress reduction

Stress is often a key component in PCOS. We do not ignore this, we actually teach you very simple ways to enhance sleep and relaxation which supports your body’s natural healing system so it is much easier for you to exit the PCOS loop.

Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

Here's How We Help Thousands Every Year With PROVEN, Personalized Holistic Medical Care

Gentle Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to naturally stimulate your body's innate healing process. Then, it gets right to work repairing and restoring all cells and tissues. Laser Acupuncture harnesses the vast healing intelligence your body contains to help it heal faster and with more lasting effects.

Herbal Medicine

Herbs simultaneously cure AND strengthen the body. This dual action is something unique to herbal medicine that makes it very well suited to treat hormonal conditions including thyroid, menstrual disorders, mood problems, sleep issues, and fertility.

Functional Nutritional Therapy

When your cells, glands, and tissues are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. This means you feel your best because the body’s key systems are optimized.

Relaxation and Stress-Reduction

When your nervous system is calm, the hormonal system, immune system, digestive, and circulatory systems all calm down, too. This means a more focused mind, more resilient immune system, less inflammation, better circulation, and optimal nutrient absorption.

The Process Is Simple

Free Initial Consultation

At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your clinician to discuss your case, your medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most importantly YOUR GOALS. We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a HIGH probability of success for you – BEFORE we move forward to the next step.

Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan

Once your free consultation is complete, and we agree to move forward, your next step is the Intake appointment. At this appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of attack.

Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time, and a you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to-follow instructions. Your treatment plan will include dietary and lifestyle adjustments as well as key supplements and herbal medicines to address the root of your specific type of PCOS.

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for once-weekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results: 

  • Increased energy
  • Better sleep
  • Improved mental focus
  • Healthier skin and hair
  • Healthy metabolism and (if needed) weight loss

You’ll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that your neuroendocrine system (the delicate connection between your nervous and hormonal systems) is rebalancing in a way that results in ongoing optimal hormonal balance.

Transitional Care As Things Stabilize

Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits. This usually occurs after about 8-12 visits. Initially you’ll come every other week, then once a month for a couple of visits, then you will no longer need regular treatments.

We’ll be here in case you ever want to come in for a tune-up or to address other health concerns.

Of course, MANY of our patients do wish to continue with “ongoing maintenance” and we are happy to work that out with you, should that be your wish.

Taking Care Of Your Friends and Loved Ones

We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work.

So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.

Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.

Common Questions & Answers About Our Natural PCOS Treatment Program

Does the acupuncture hurt?

The needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain because they are razor sharp.

Will I have to keep coming forever?

The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way.

Will I have to spend a lot of time coming in for treatments?

Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.

Can natural medicine REALLY help my PCOS?

Absolutely. Your hormonal system – and your body as a whole – is capable of healing itself, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track. We’ve seen this firsthand in clinic over and over.

Will I have to do some kind of horrible, super-restrictive detox or elimination diet?

Absolutely NOT. Our program is all about setting you up to succeed. We find the 2 or 3 “key leverage points” in your diet and work on those. No impossible to follow meal plans or detoxes here.

How long does it take to see results?

People often feel a shift after the very first treatment. Acupuncture is a very powerful way to regulate the neuroendocrine axis of the body – which is how the brain and central nervous system talk to the endocrine system. And, most patients see significant results within 6 – 12 weeks such as return of regular cycles and reduction of acne and other potential PCOS symptoms.

What are my chances of success?

Results vary, of course. That being said, well over 70% of our patients experience a return to regular cycles and a significant reduction in other PCOS related symptoms. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
