Acupuncture is used for a variety of ailments. One common complaint that we hear from patients is the amount of stress they have and how maintaining self-care with acupuncture helps them deal with the amount of stress in their lives.

Stress can have a negative impact on one’s body. One can feel one or more of these effects on the body when under stress:

Headache
Muscle Tension or pain
Chest pain
Fatigue
Change in Sex drive
Stomach upset
Sleep problems

Of course, these are just a few of the symptoms that a person can feel there are many more.

Acupuncture can help the nervous system adapt and reset itself to operate in a more optimal way.

During an acupuncture treatment the body can relax and find a calm state. Acupuncture has a number of different effects on the body and the brain. It affects the central nervous system and triggers the release of endorphins. These are the brain's natural “feel-good “chemicals. They reduce stress and give a feeling of general well-being.
