Acupuncture for Mental and Emotional Wellness

What emotional and psychological conditions can acupuncture treat?

~Depression ~Anxiety ~Insomnia ~Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

These are just a few of the many conditions that the World Health Organization acknowledges acupuncture can treat. 

Acupuncture can be used alone or with counseling, medication or physical therapy to enhance the healing effects of these treatments.

Acupuncture slows the production of stress hormones, releases endorphins, reduces pain and boosts happiness.

Acupuncture encourages the parasympathetic nervous system to take over:

~slowing down your heart rate ~lowering blood pressure ~lowering cortisol levels

Acupuncture can treat the physical conditions associated with emotions such as:

~muscle tension ~teeth grinding ~insomnia ~digestive issues ~headache ~dizziness ~fatigue ~elevated blood pressure ~shortness of breath

The overlap of anxiety, depression and pain is particularly evident in chronic pain syndromes such as:

~fibromyalgia ~irritable bowel syndrome ~low back pain ~headaches ~nerve pain

East Asian medicine is cost-effective, holistic, and preventative. Each diagnosis and treatment plan is tailored to each patient.
