5 Reasons to Try Acupuncture For Stress and Anxiety Relief
With so much mental strain and pressure in our daily lives, using acupuncture for stress and anxiety relief is the foundation for emotional balance and physical health.
“I’m so stressed out!” “I’m under a deadline at work all the time, and I can’t shut off at the end of the day.” “I feel anxious all the time and can’t relax.” “My doctor warned me to reduce stress–she’s worried about my heart.”
These statements are all too common in today’s culture.
You may stop into Edmonton Acupuncture Therapy to treat your stress symptoms, but our treatment approach extends so much further than symptom relief. We care deeply about your healing story and dedicate ourselves to building holistic health and balance in every patient we treat.
Acupuncture proactively reduces stress. Here’s how:
1. Yes, there are needles, and they don’t hurt.
After an extensive evaluation, your practitioner will determine the best points to place the needles on your body. You’ll lay on a padded table, and your acupuncturist will begin placing needles with a light tap at each site. The needles are so fine that you’ll barely feel it.
2. Acupuncture sessions provide relaxation time.
In addition to the healing effects the needles offer, the session itself calms and relaxes you. After placing the needles, you’ll rest for about 30 minutes and allow the treatment to unfold. During this time, you can listen to soft music, rest your eyes, or even fall lightly asleep.
3. There are no side-effects with acupuncture.
Since acupuncture is a drug-free treatment modality, you can also rest assured there will not be any adverse drug interactions with your current medications. Your acupuncturist will recommend a treatment frequency to help you achieve your desired stress-reduction objectives.
4. Acupuncture uses your body’s internal mechanisms to bring relief.
These natural brain chemicals cause us to relax and feel euphoric or happy. Acupuncture also helps our bodies naturally reduce inflammation and pain as well, which can both increase with chronic stress.
5.Going to your appointment means taking much needed time for self-care.
Attending an acupuncture appointment adjusts your focus back on yourself. Part of reducing stress is changing our mindsets and habits. Not only is acupuncture effective in changing your internal stress-induced chemistry and then maintaining a consistent treatment schedule
You are unique–your treatment should be too.
