BOOK NOW FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety can easily take a toll on our mental and physical well-being. But did you know that acupuncture offers a natural and effective solution to alleviate these burdens?Here are some incredible benefits of acupuncture for managing stress and anxiety:
1. Stress Reduction: Acupuncture targets specific points in the body, releasing tension and promoting relaxation. It helps regulate the nervous system, reducing the production of stress hormones like cortisol.
2. Anxiety Relief: By stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms, acupuncture can ease anxiety symptoms such as racing thoughts, palpitations, and restlessness. It promotes a sense of calmness and balance.
3. Improved Sleep Quality: Many individuals suffering from stress and anxiety also struggle with sleep disturbances. Acupuncture can help regulate sleep patterns, allowing for deeper and more restorative rest.
4. Enhanced Mood: Acupuncture treatments trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good hormones. This can uplift mood, decrease irritability, and promote a greater sense of well-being.
5. Holistic Approach: Unlike medications that may come with side effects, acupuncture takes a holistic approach to healing. It addresses the root causes of stress and anxiety while supporting overall health and balance.
6. Personalised Care: Acupuncture treatments are tailored to each individual's unique needs. Your acupuncturist will create a personalized plan to address your specific symptoms and concerns.Don't let stress and anxiety hold you back from living your best life. Experience the healing benefits of acupuncture and embark on a journey towards greater peace and tranquillity. Take the first step towards a calmer, more balanced you! Acupuncture .

How does acupuncture exactly affect our immune system?
Acupuncture regulates your immune function by improving T-Lymphocyte (adaptive immune system) activity, specifically CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cells—often called cytotoxic T lymphocytes, or CTLs—are very important for immune defense against intracellular pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, and for tumour surveillance. When a CD8+ T cell recognises its antigen and becomes activated, it has three major mechanisms to kill infected or malignant cells. The first is secretion of cytokines, primarily TNF-α and IFN-γ, which have anti-tumour and anti-viral microbial effects. In general, acupuncture works by:

Increasing circulation into areas that require more immune presence;
Directly enhancing immune system components;
Resolving chronic states of dysfunction and thereby freeing up the immune system for other defense projects.
What makes acupuncture so effective in boosting and strengthening our immune system?

Well, acupuncture has very specific mechanisms of action to influence how the immune system responds. Acupuncturists choose certain points or regions to regulate and modulate white blood cell (immune cells) activity and to stimulate the body’s innate healing capacity. It doesn’t require “taking” anything like a medication or supplement and is considered non-invasive when you compare it to something like surgery, which can cause high amounts of inflammation and can be devastating to the immune system. Once the needles are inserted during a treatment, it is often relaxing and stress reducing (modulates our stress hormone, cortisol), which can be another inflammatory trigger to the immune system.

As an experienced acupuncturist, what benefits are you seeing from acupuncture therapy—from immune system health and beyond?

I’ve seen some remarkable results from acupuncture alone or acupuncture combined with functional/Chinese medicine. Whether it’s resolving chronic allergies or asthma, reducing stress, modulating an auto-immune response, reducing/eliminating pain, improving function/range of motion, or reducing the severity and frequency of colds/flus etc., there is a place for acupuncture in most people’s lives. After many of our patients start feeling better with what we’re doing initially—which typically includes dietary and lifestyle changes, acupuncture therapy, and health coaching—they often come in for “maintenance” treatments that are intended to continue stimulating the healing response. For an autoimmune and/or chronic pain patient, this is like a “tune up” for the body and immune system, similar to a regular chiropractic adjustment or monthly massage, which allows the body to continue the healing journey.
