Acupuncture is a powerful way to re-calibrate the body’s energetic life force (qi).  Qi can become blocked through everyday life and ongoing stress. When stress is stored in the body over time, it can disrupt the natural flow of energy.  It can contribute to depression, anxiety, and even physical pain.

Gently move energy

By gently moving this stuck or stored energy acupuncture can create a sense of release that is often experienced as greater calm, clarity, and emotional balance. From a physiological perspective, we also understand that certain acupuncture points stimulate the central nervous system, prompting the release of endorphins into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. Endorphins are known to reduce pain, lower stress, improve mood, and promote an overall sense of well-being.

Release Chemicals and Neurotransmitters

The release of these chemicals and neurotransmitters may signal the body to activate its own natural healing processes—both physically and emotionally. When life feels overwhelming, acupuncture can  be a supportive way to help calm the nervous system and restore balance.
