Acupuncture & Stress Management

One of the most important effects of acupuncture is producing relaxation. Many people have forgotten what it means to feel relaxed. Many people often mistake feeling relaxed for feeling tired.

Acupuncture reminds the body how to relax.

There is an explanations for this:

Acupuncture points act as reset switches, much like circuit breakers or like focusing a lens on a camera. The body is directly reminded how to switch to relax mode. With each treatment, the body relaxes more until it becomes re-habituated to relaxation rather than a familiar habit of stress.

Many of the following pain conditions are the result of stress:

  • Headaches
  • Migraine
  • Hypertension
  • Heart disease
  • Vascular disease
  • Free-radical damage
  • Insomnia
  • Addictions

When learning to manage stress, acupuncture gives you the emotional break to rein in your emotions. Often, with the assistance of acupuncture, the triggers for stress are greatly reduced or eliminated.
