The Acupuncture and Skin Care Clinic provides a holistic approach to managing menopause symptoms, providing women with safe and natural relief options that tap into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With a focus on the body’s innate ability to heal, the clinic offers acupuncture treatments designed to alleviate menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings and sleep disturbances, helping women transition smoothly through this life stage.

Menopause, a natural process marking the end of a woman’s fertility, typically occurs 12 months after her final menstrual period, according to the Mayo Clinic. However, menopause often brings a range of symptoms—irregular periods, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances and increased abdominal fat—that can be physically and emotionally challenging. While hormone therapy and lifestyle adjustments remain common solutions, acupuncture has emerged as a complementary, side-effect-free option.

At the Acupuncture and Skin Care Clinic, led by Dr. Lorenzo T. Phan, a certified Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture Physician, the team tailors treatments to address each patient’s unique needs. Phan’s expertise includes a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from the University of Hawaii and advanced training in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from the American College of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. As a recognized Diplomate in Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Phan combines modern research and ancient wisdom to deliver effective, patient-centered care.

The clinic’s approach to menopause relief hinges on acupuncture’s ability to stimulate the body’s energy flow, or “qi,” through meridians—pathways that traverse the body to nourish cells, tissues and organs. Acupuncture works by inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points along these meridians to balance energy flow, unblock obstructions and correct hormonal imbalances. This process, in line with TCM philosophy, promotes overall wellness and targets the root causes of menopause symptoms.

In addition to acupuncture, Phan and his team recommend lifestyle adjustments and herbal remedies as part of a holistic health approach. Eastern medicine practitioners advocate for an integrated treatment plan, viewing the body as an interconnected whole, which can often lead to long-lasting relief and improved well-being.
