Anxiety and General Wellbeing
For those that suffer from mood disorders and emotional distress, the pain they feel is very real. While it may not be the same sharp pain as a pinched nerve, it can cause a deep unease that increases slowly over time. This feeling of unease can spiral, leading to more emotional distress in a vicious cycle. Eventually, this can lead to a breakdown, or worse.
Acupuncture can help to treat these emotional issues by reducing feelings of stress, anxiety and worry. Acupuncture can also help to regulate a variety of hormones that affect mood, such as dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. With the combination of hormone regulation and reduction of negative emotions, those suffering from emotional pain can find comfort through
their distressful times.
Some emotional issues (and health problems triggered by emotions) that acupuncture can help to treat include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- Insomnia
- ADD
- ADHD
- IBS
- Jaw Tightness
