Never Tried Acupuncture? Here are 10 reasons why you should.
1. Acupuncture promotes a state of relaxation
Do you ever feel there are just not enough hours in the day to meet the demands of work, family, and self-care? Are you operating in a state of chronically high stress? Acupuncture can switch on your body’s relaxation pathways and retrain your body and mind in how to relax.
2. Acupuncture can help improve sleep
Acupuncture treats the root cause of what is causing the insomnia and actually benefits your overall health at the same time as well as restoring restful, reliable sleep patterns.
3. Acupuncture can boost your energy
Fatigue is one of the major health concerns we encounter. Most people are burning the candle at both ends with fast paced, high stress lives. Instead of turning to another cup of coffee, consider increasing your energy in a balanced and sustained way with acupuncture.
4. Acupuncture can decrease musculoskeletal pain
Acupuncture is one of the best options to consider for both acute and chronic pain. Acupuncture helps to decrease pain and promote tissue recovery.
5. Acupuncture can treat headaches
Acupuncture is an excellent therapy for headaches of all types. We commonly treat patients with migraines, tension headaches and hormonally triggered headaches with great success. Our patients report experiencing a decrease in the frequency and severity of headaches and over time many people experience a complete resolution of headaches.
6. Acupuncture can improve your mood
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges and can be used as a stand- alone treatment as well as in combination with mood supportive medications or supplements.
7. Acupuncture can boost your immune system
We can help clients that get sick frequently, with colds, flus and respiratory disorders, for environmental allergies as well as with patients dealing with autoimmune disorders.
8. Acupuncture can help improve digestion
Digestive conditions like gas and bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS, inflammatory bowel disease and abdominal pain respond well to acupuncture. In Chinese Medicine a healthy digestive system is the basis for good health. If the digestive system is not functioning optimally, it trickles down to all other aspects of health and lays the groundwork for disease.
9. Acupuncture can help with disorders related to menstruation and menopause
Many women suffer with hormonal imbalances that manifest as conditions such as absent menses, painful menses, heavy menses, infertility, fibroids, endometriosis, peri-menopausal and menopausal symptoms. Acupuncture and herbs are incredibly beneficial in treating the root cause of these conditions as well as providing symptomatic relief.
10. Acupuncture can help keep you healthy
Acupuncture is an excellent option for those people that are looking to take their health to the next level. Once our patients have recovered from the condition that brought them in to see us initially, we recommend that they continue to come in once a month or quarterly for a “tune up” to keep their body functioning optimally.
We find that clients that come in for preventative acupuncture “tune ups” experience higher energy levels, and increased sense of well-being and get sick less frequently than our patients that come in only when they are feeling ill. So even if you’re not feeling sick, consider coming in for acupuncture at least once a season to help give your system a boost, which lays the groundwork for sustained good health.
