Anxiety and Depression

Modern life can become a little too much sometimes.  Are you ready to feel like life has meaning again?  No matter the reason patients come in, there is often underlying levels of depression and/or anxiety in all of us.  The most astounding thing about my practice is watching people improve the way they hold themselves, the tone in their voice, and the glimmer in their eyes gets brighter.  And usually the first thing they say is, "You know, I came in for knee pain, but I also just feel better in my mind and spirit!"

Even if you are otherwise totally healthy, acupuncture is such a helpful tool in managing anxiety and depression.  Chinese medicine emphasizes the mind/body connection in every diagnosis and treatment.  And this has been the case for thousands of years.  I recently read a study where doctors who just study Chinese medicine become more empathetic and less stressed!

How acupuncture treats anxiety and depression:

• Downregulates the body's stress response.
• Deactives overthinking and overanalyzing.
• Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which regulates digestion, sleep, and relaxation.
• Reduces inflammation.

Get treatment for anxiety and/or depression that won't change your personality or cause crazy, life-altering side effects.
