Menopause happens to every woman — but struggling with the symptoms isn’t something you have to accept.

Menopause symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, and broken sleep can leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected. Many women also experience mood changes, low mood, vaginal dryness, or aching joints.

At Deanna Thomas – Acupuncture & Wellbeing, we specialise in helping perimenopausal and postmenopausal women across Middlesbrough and Teesside. Women often choose acupuncture with us after finding little relief from other treatments, or because they want to take control with a natural approach.

Does Acupuncture Work for Menopause? Here’s the Proof

You don’t have to just take our word for it. Many women come to us feeling like they’ve tried everything, supplements, lifestyle changes, even medication, and still struggle with menopause symptoms.

The good news? Acupuncture is one of the most well-studied forms of complementary and alternative medicine for easing menopausal symptoms, and the results are clear.

Clinical studies, including randomized controlled trials, suggest that acupuncture can:

Reduce hot flushes & night sweats (vasomotor symptoms) —Research shows up to a 50% reduction in frequency and intensity, helping you feel cooler, calmer, and more in control (Alfhaily & Ewies, 2007; Chiu et al., 2015).

Improve sleep quality — Around 3 in 4 women report fewer night-time disturbances after treatment, meaning you wake feeling more refreshed and ready for your day (Bezerra et al., 2015).

Ease mood swings, low mood & anxiety — Acupuncture calms the nervous system and reduces stress hormones, helping you feel emotionally balanced and more like yourself again (Sniezek & Siddiqui, 2013).

Support bone health & reduce weak bones — Warm acupuncture and moxibustion have been shown to strengthen bones and support mineral density, protecting long-term wellbeing (Pan et al., 2018; Xu et al., 2020).

Enhance intimacy & reduce vaginal dryness. By improving circulation and balancing hormone levels, acupuncture can also support sexual wellbeing.

Relieve joint pain, fatigue & low energy — Regular treatments help regulate inflammation and restore vitality, so you can move through your day with greater ease

Unlike medication, acupuncture doesn’t just mask symptoms. It helps your body rebalance itself during the menopause transition. And consistency matters, most studies show results after a course of regular sessions, not just one.

Grounded in scientific evidence — Multiple controlled trials confirm acupuncture as one of the safest and most effective complementary therapies for managing menopause symptoms.

Real results for menopausal women — Countless menopausal and postmenopausal women have already found relief through acupuncture. Backed by clinical evidence and compassionate care, acupuncture helps reduce hot flashes, balance moods, improve sleep, and restore vitality.

Imagine the difference — Picture life with fewer flushes, calmer moods, deeper sleep, and renewed energy. That’s the power of acupuncture, and it’s within your reach.

Meet Deanna – Menopause Wellness Specialist Who Truly Gets It

Hi, I’m Deanna. I’m a licensed acupuncturist with a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture from London South Bank University, and a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council and the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians. Since opening my clinic in 2021, I’ve dedicated my work to supporting women across Teesside through life’s big transitions.

I know first-hand how overwhelming menopause can feel. Hot flushes, night sweats, broken sleep, and mood swings can leave you feeling like a stranger to yourself. Many women are told to “just get on with it,” or that their only option is HRT, but you deserve more choice, care, and support.

That’s why I’ve gone deeper in my training. I’m a qualified Menopause Wellness Practitioner, with postgraduate study in Menopause and Andropause at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine. I’m also trained in NLP, which helps me support not just your physical symptoms, but also the emotional and mental stress that can come with this stage of life.

Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of women seeking natural relief. Acupuncture may help to:

Reduce hot flushes and night sweats
Improve sleep quality
Balance mood and ease anxiety
Support intimacy and sexual desire

Most importantly, treatment helps your body find balance again, without masking symptoms.

With over 600 five-star reviews and specialist training in women’s health, I combine professional expertise with compassion and understanding.

Together, we’ll create a personalised plan that feels safe, effective, and tailored to you, so you can move from simply coping to truly thriving.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Acupuncture for Menopause

Can acupuncture help with menopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats?

Yes. Research shows acupuncture can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats by calming the nervous system and supporting hormonal balance. Many women also report better sleep, mood, and energy.

Where do they put acupuncture needles for hot flashes?

Gentle, fine needles are placed at specific points on the body often on the legs, arms, abdomen, or ears. These points are chosen to regulate hormones, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system.

How often should you have acupuncture for menopause?

Most women benefit from a course of 6–10 treatments. Improvements are often noticed after 2–3 sessions, with deeper and longer-lasting changes building across the full course.

How to reduce hot flashes naturally?

Acupuncture is a proven, drug-free option. Lifestyle changes such as managing stress, avoiding hot drinks and spicy foods, wearing breathable clothing, and practising breathing exercises can also help ease symptoms.

What hormone causes hot flashes?

Hot flashes are mainly linked to a drop in oestrogen during perimenopause and menopause. Acupuncture supports the body through these hormonal shifts, helping ease discomfort naturally.

Can acupuncture help with night sweats during menopause?

Yes. Night sweats are another common symptom of fluctuating hormones. Acupuncture helps regulate temperature control, reduce sweating, and improve sleep quality.

What are non-hormonal treatments for hot flushes?

Alongside acupuncture, non-hormonal approaches can include relaxation techniques, lifestyle changes, and natural remedies. These options are especially valuable for women who cannot or choose not to take hormone therapy.

How does acupuncture work for menopause?

Acupuncture restores balance in the body by supporting the flow of energy (Qi) and regulating hormone function. This helps reduce the frequency and severity of menopausal symptoms.

How many acupuncture sessions will I need?

Every woman’s menopause journey is unique. Some notice improvements such as reduced hot flushes and better sleep after just a few sessions, while most studies show the best results come from a course of regular treatments. We’ll create a personalised plan for you, usually starting with weekly sessions.

Can I have acupuncture if I’m on HRT or taking other medications?

Yes. Acupuncture is considered a safe complementary therapy and can be used alongside hormone replacement therapy (HRT), herbal remedies, or prescribed medications. We’ll always review your health history first to make sure your treatment plan is safe and supportive.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Most women are surprised at how gentle acupuncture feels. The needles are very fine – much thinner than those used for blood tests – and many patients describe the sensation as relaxing or even calming.

Will my health insurance cover acupuncture?

Many healthcare plans and private insurance providers will reimburse the cost of acupuncture treatments when carried out by a British Acupuncture Council registered practitioner. It’s worth checking your policy or speaking to your provider directly.
