More and more mothers in the West are suffering from Post Natal Disorder.

The reasons are various…

• Women waiting till much later in life to have their baby and hence being unprepared for the extreme life change involved in motherhood such as isolation, lack of social life, and loss of their own income.
• The lack of familial support in the West. We don't have the extended family of grandma and mother living at home and offering assistance with the baby.
• The pressure on families to bring in two incomes.
• Enhanced expectations that do not match with reality.

The symptoms of Post Natal Disorder include…

• Depression
• Irritability
• Fatigue
• Sleeplessness
• Loss of Appetite
• Loss of Enjoyment
• Anxiety
• Inability to Cope
• Loss of Appetite
• Anger
• Loss of Sex Drive

If you are a new mother and are suffering from these problems you might like to know that acupuncture will help you overcome this disorder and find peace of mind again.

Many women find relief from these symptoms in less than six treatments.

We practice Japanese acupuncture which is a very gentle form of acupuncture with very minimal needle insertion. However if you are concerned about needles please read the section Acupuncture Without Needles as we are also able to give treatments using other mediums.

Of course it is impossible to say how may treatments you will need to overcome your problem. The treatments generally take one hour and it may be that one treatment is adequate, but if not, you will certainly find that every treatment you undertake will bring a phenomenal improvement into your life.

Our clinic is now offering a fantastic treatment called Induction Therapy. This therapy is new to Australia and comes from Germany. Examples of treatments within the Induction Therapy program are treatments for Depression, Stress, Migraines and Headaches and Sleep Disorders. There is also a "Child" program which deals with children's health issues as well as behavioral disorders. After an Induction Therapy treatment you should feel refreshed, relaxed and calm. Please refer to our section on Induction Therapy to find out how a course of treatments will re-educate your brain waves to return to their former natural healthy rhythm.
