ASK US HOW acupuncture can help with Stress

Condition: Stress and stress related issues
All of us have experiencing different types of stress in life. Some stresses are easier to deal with than others. And some people can manage stress better than others. Stress can affect all aspects of our life, including emotions, behavior, thinking ability, and physical health.
Acupuncture is a proven method to reduce and remove stress related emotional and physical symptoms. A study published in the Journal of Endocrinology 2013 which was done at Georgetown University Medical Center, said that “We found that electronic acupuncture blocks the chronic, stress-induced elevation of the HPA axis hormones… Our growing body of evidence points to acupuncture’s protective effect against the stress response.”
