Fertility & Hormonal Health At Hackney Podiatry & Health
Hormonal changes can truly disrupt how you feel from one week to the next. Difficult or irregular periods, the physical and emotional load of fertility treatment, and the changes that arrive with perimenopause and menopause can affect your energy, sleep, mood and comfort. These experiences are extremely common, and they are often navigated alone.
We are an independent clinic on Broadway Market and our appointments are unhurried. Whatever stage you are at, the starting point is the same: a proper conversation about what has been happening, what you have already tried, and what you would like to feel different.
What People Come To Us With
While there is no single reason people book in, the most common are:
- Trying to conceive, or undergoing IVF and wanting support that complements their clinical treatment
- Painful, heavy or unpredictable periods
- Perimenopause and menopause, where sleep, temperature and mood may have shifted all at once
- Persistent and unexplained tiredness
How Acupuncture Is Used
Our Acupuncture practitioners, Dr Gavin Han and Kieran Howse, work within Traditional Chinese Medicine and regularly see patients around fertility, menstrual health and menopause. They only use fine, single-use, medical-grade needles, and most people feel very little as they are inserted.
Sessions tend to be quiet and restful, and many people say the hour is the most relaxed they have felt all week. Chinese herbal medicine can be built into a treatment plan where your practitioner thinks it will help.
Massage And Nutritional Support
Working Alongside Your Medical Care
Our therapies are intended to sit alongside the treatment you receive from your GP, gynaecologist or fertility clinic, and we encourage you to keep those teams informed. What we offer is attentive, regular support through a demanding time, with an emphasis on relaxation and general wellbeing.
