Licensed Acupuncturist & Owner, Thriving with Eastern Medicine & Acupuncture
Logan, Utah
A licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in Logan, Utah, on how Chinese medicine can support endometriosis pain, fertility, and recovery alongside a coordinated care team.
In this conversation
Danielle Dickshinski, L.Ac., RMT, is the owner of Thriving with Eastern Medicine & Acupuncture in Logan, Utah. She is a licensed acupuncturist in Utah with national board certification, a certified Reiki Master and Teacher, an herbalist, and a trauma support specialist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a Master of Science in Acupuncture, and she specializes in women's medicine for reproductive health, autoimmunity, chronic pain, and emotional well-being.
Her practice combines the tools of Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, Reiki, Chinese nutrition, Tui Na, cupping, and functional medicine, into a plan customized to each person. Danielle is careful to distinguish between treating a condition and helping the body change how it experiences and processes pain. She adjusts her acupuncture points to a person's symptoms and menstrual cycle rather than following a fixed protocol, and she is direct that herbal medicine is medicine and deserves the same care around interactions as any prescription.
On Healing at Your Core, Danielle joined Bree to talk through how acupuncture and Chinese medicine can fit into a plan for endometriosis pain and fertility. They covered why chronic pelvic pain takes time to change, how fertility care works best when both partners are evaluated, and how acupuncture, pelvic floor physical therapy, and surgery each play different roles. Her message is that your symptoms are worth investigating and that care can involve more than one provider.

Danielle Dickshinski joins Bree Allred, PT, to explain how acupuncture may complement care for endometriosis pain, fertility, and recovery.
Watch, listen, and read the episodeA few grounded takeaways from Danielle’s conversation with Bree.
Danielle focuses on symptoms, quality of life, and how the nervous system processes pain. She describes acupuncture as having a local effect near muscles and connective tissue and a broader calming effect through the nervous system.
When pain has been present for a long time, the body keeps guarding even after the original signal changes. Progress is better judged over several cycles than after a single appointment, with realistic expectations set from the start.
She does not use the same points at every visit. Point selection changes with ovulation, the luteal phase, the days before a period, and whether pain is local, radiating, or tied to digestion, fatigue, or inflammation.
Herbs can interact with medications and are not appropriate for every condition. Tell every provider on your care team about each herb and supplement, especially when managing autoimmunity, preparing for surgery, or receiving fertility treatment.
