If your joints feel more sensitive during the colder months, you’re not alone. Small steps toward recovery can make this season easier on your body and help you move with more comfort.

TIP: Reset with Acupuncture

Holiday stress can leave your nervous system running on high alert, making it harder to focus, rest, or feel grounded.

Acupuncture works by guiding the body out of that heightened state and into a calmer, more regulated rhythm. Many patients notice improvements in sleep, tension, mood, and overall energy as their system begins to rebalance.

If this season tends to feel overwhelming for you, we’d be glad to talk through what might be contributing to your stress response and how a tailored plan can help. You’re welcome to request a complimentary consultation with Dr Ortega anytime.
