Acupuncture for stress
Manage stress and anxiety naturally
Acupuncture for stress is widely used thanks to its focus on restoring balance and encouraging relaxation. We all know that dealing with stress and anxiety are a natural and normal part of life, however, sometimes it’s “good” stress – like having a baby or starting a new job and sometimes it’s “bad” stress – like being overworked and under-slept.
It may surprise you to hear that 75-90% of all doctor’s visits are related to stress. Stress is often the underlying cause of issues ranging from chronic headaches to digestive disorders to heart problems and even chronic pain. It is safe to say that if stress is left unaddressed it will often manifest as a bigger, more complicated problem down the road.
How Acupuncture Helps Reduce Stress and Anxiety
- Regular acupuncture will activate the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of our body responsible for “resting and digesting.”
- Studies confirm that acupuncture can lower cortisol levels and increase endorphins making us feel happier and more calm.
- Acupuncture can help improve your quality of sleep which also helps to improve how to function during the day.

It's time to feel in control again
For many of us, we’ve been dealing with the mounting stress for months or even years. It’s accepted as a “normal” part of our lives. The problem is that we’ve not taken the time needed to balance out our busy, hectic schedules. Regular acupuncture sessions can regulate your body’s stress response making you feel less anxious and out of control.
