Anxiety? Panic Attacks? Acupuncture is Effective and Without All the Side Effects.

 Anxiety and panic disorders are on the rise here in the US as reported by the NIMH and the CDCP.

It is estimated that at least 6% of adults and children experience severe and moderate forms of anxiety every week. Symptoms can include, nervousness, restlessness, increased heart rate, uncontrolled circumstantial sweating, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, constant sense of impending doom as reported by the Mayo Clinic.

The main treatments in Western Medicine are therapy and medications.  Most medications, though very effective, can come with some intimidating and life affecting side-effects. 

Acupuncture, however, is fast becoming a more popular route to treatment anxiety and with no side effects. 

Acupuncture helps balance neurotransmitters, especially the mood regulators, dopamine and serotonin. It helps create a strong mind and body connection, allowing for better resilience, confidence, and self-awareness.  It reduces stress hormones, by mitigating cortisol release.  And lastly and very importantly it is known to help regulate the nervous system, especially the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

The world is very stressful place, no matter who you are.  Uncertainty is rampant and pressures increasing in almost every part of life.  Self-care and pro-active healthcare are more important than ever if we are going to be there for ourselves, our loved ones and those who have demands for our time and support.  Acupuncture is one of the best ways to ensure your health, sanity and emotional well-being can be resilient enough to weather the constant stress signaling in the world we live in.
