Perimenopause and menopause mark a significant shift in a woman’s life, often accompanied by physical, mental, and emotional changes. From hot flashes and night sweats to mood swings and sleep disturbances, these symptoms can impact daily well-being in a profound way. Many women are turning to natural, research-supported treatments like acupuncture to find relief. Backed by evidence and rooted in centuries of practice, acupuncture offers a holistic approach to managing the transitions of perimenopause and menopause. In this blog, we’ll explore how acupuncture works, the research supporting its effectiveness, and the key reasons why more women are turning to this time-tested therapy.  By Kate Love, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) The mental load of parenting often goes unseen, yet it’s one of the heaviest things parents carry. Recently, the U.S. Surgeon General acknowledged a crisis in parental well-being, calling attention to the mounting stress parents face. This stress is amplified by the invisible labor it takes to manage a household — often referred to as the "mental load."
For parents, every season seems to bring a fresh wave of tasks. From signing kids up for activities to managing new routines and navigating changing social dynamics, it can feel like the demands never let up. Many parents describe it as a constant stream of "to-dos" running through their minds. Carrying this mental load can feel lonely.

Chiropractic care is more than a response to discomfort—it’s a proactive way to nurture your body’s natural strength, resilience, and alignment. By addressing the underlying causes of tension and imbalance, it helps you find a deeper connection to your body and regain a sense of vitality. Here are 10 ways chiropractic care can enhance your well-being and support you in moving through life with confidence and strength: |
