Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation in the body by calming the immune system and lowering the release of harmful chemicals that cause swelling and pain. It balances immune cell activity, improves the body’s antioxidant defenses, and sends signals through nerves and the brain to control stress and inflammation naturally.

This recent study * looked at multiple recent studies over the past five years have demonstrated that acupuncture exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects across multiple biological systems, including the immune, digestive, respiratory, nervous, musculoskeletal, circulatory, endocrine, and genitourinary systems.

Treating the whole person means also treating the Spirit.
Treating the Spirit (Shen) in acupuncture is important because it addresses the deepest level of a person’s health namely their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being and not just their physical symptoms.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spirit is considered the guiding force behind vitality, clarity, and balance.
When the Shen is disturbed by stress, grief, fear, or prolonged illness it can manifest as insomnia, anxiety, depression, lack of focus, or even chronic physical ailments. By harmonizing the flow of Qi and calming the Shen, acupuncture helps restore emotional equilibrium, clear thinking, and a sense of inner peace.
Ultimately, treating the Spirit allows true healing to occur by reconnecting body, mind, and soul so the person feels whole, not just symptom-free.

A patient came in with a note.
A note to remind her of what to say to me at the beginning of her treatment session on Friday.
Each line a scrawled reminder, each an observation of progress or symptom eased, reflects her self-awareness and trust in the healing process.
Her acupuncture treatments have made an impact, helping her feel seen, and supported enough to want to share her healing story.
