Thanks to female physicians with a platform, women across North America are more informed than ever before about the impact of menopause on their health and wellness. Fortunately, there are also more resources available to support menopausal patients.
Body Works Med Spa & Wellness offers several non-invasive, regenerative treatments that deliver relief from menopause symptoms. In fact, a lot of women say they wish they’d known about us sooner. If you’re dealing with mental health, pelvic zone, pain and mobility, or body composition challenges, we may be able to help.
Mental Health Treatment For Menopausal Patients
A drop in estrogen can affect almost every organ system in the female body, including the brain and nervous system. Many women going through the menopause transition can relate to feeling mentally foggy, depressed, anxious, and exhausted due to sleep troubles.
Exomind TMS is a drug-free solution that can help menopausal patients with all of the above symptoms. It uses gentle magnetic energy to stimulate neurons and restore healthier brain circuits.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, has been around since 1985 and is well-regarded by psychiatrists and psychologists. Exomind is an optimized TMS device. With it, we’re able to treat a broad range of mental health conditions, offer shorter treatment plans, and provide a comfortable experience.
In general, menopausal patients enjoy improved mental clarity, emotional balance, depression and anxiety relief, and more restorative sleep without the typical side effects of medication. Body Works Med Spa & Wellness is the only provider of Exomind TMS is Atlantic Canada and treatments are supervised by a psychiatrist.
Pelvic Health Treatment For Menopausal Patients
Since estrogen supports and maintains muscle mass, a drop in estrogen usually translates to pelvic floor weakness and related symptoms. For example, many women develop urinary incontinence or frustrating close calls on a regular basis. There are also vaginal changes including dryness, thinning tissues, and painful sex. This and other factors contribute to low libido.
Emsella is an evidence-based therapy that uses electromagnetic energy to strengthen the pelvic floor. In addition to strengthening the pelvic floor, it improves blood flow and oxygenation to the pelvic tissues. Menopausal patients report better bladder control, lubrication, orgasms, and pain improvement. The best part may be that it’s easy, non-invasive, and fast. You don’t even have to remove clothing.
Emsella also helps with early stages of female organ prolapse and some patients use it for preventative pelvic health. We commonly hear from women that they wish they’d known about Emsella and Body Works sooner.
Treating Mobility & Pain
Since dropping estrogen levels decrease a woman’s natural anti-inflammatory defenses and reduce her tissue protection, perimenopausal and post-menopausal patients are much more likely to develop conditions such as frozen shoulder, joint pain, joint and muscle stiffness, and arthritis.
Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness can help with all of the above. Health Canada-approved for chronic pain and more, it stimulates neuromuscular tissue to restore comfort and function without medication, injections, or a stretching program.
While some women get immediate results, it may take a few weeks for others. Both are good outcomes compared to the alternatives. It’s amazing when someone walks into the clinic unable to lift their arm, and they leave the appointment with obvious mobility improvement.
Body Works Med Spa & Wellness is the only provider of Emsculpt Neo Functional Wellness is Nova Scotia.
Body Composition Treatment For Menopausal Patients
Shockingly, medicine has only recently started to understand body composition changes during the menopause transition. Since estrogen protects muscle mass, perimenopausal and post-menopausal women progressively lose muscle in the last third of their lives. This is worrisome because skeletal muscle is now considered the organ of longevity. With a slow decline, women also lose normal function and gain increased risk of injury over time.
A drop in estrogen also changes how peri and post-menopausal women store fat, which means that they generally gain fat around the belly. They’re also more likely to gain visceral fat, which is the harder and more harmful fat within the abdominal cavity.
Body Works has been the go-to clinic for Emsculpt Neo Body Sculpting since we opened about 5 years ago. In the treatment area, Emsculpt Neo Body Sculpting adds an average of 25% more muscle and reduces fat by an average of 30%. Unlike surgery, it even reduces visceral fat and comorbidities.
Typically, menopausal patients feel stronger, have better balance, less back pain, and feel better about their appearance. We see more muscle tone on the body as well as less volume. We’ve even seen women drop a pants size or fit into old clothes again!
