Pain management + Chronic Pain

Acupuncture is well-recognized for being effective in treating bodily pain. When needles are inserted into the proper areas of the body, endogenous opioids are released, causing the body to feel an overall decreased pain sensation. The needles create a microtrauma which causes an influx of red blood cells to the area of pain, which decreases local inflammation.

Mental + Emotional Health

Stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional imbalances are ever-present in our society. When emotions are out of balance, our health and well-being tend to suffer in ways that can manifest physically, physiologically, cognitively, and behaviorally. Imbalances can cause a variety of issues including sleep disturbances, chronic fatigue, migraines, over-eating, panic attacks, and body pain. Acupuncture improves emotions by relaxing the sympathetic nervous system, activating neurotransmitters that help you feel less pain and happy (serotonin, dopamine) and balancing hormones that can help with stress and sleep (cortisol, melatonin).
