Anxiety/Insomnia

From the ages of 14-60 years old, having some variation of an anxiety disorder is extremely common. In fact, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, “anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States”, affecting 18.1% of the population every year. In addition, “about 1 in 4 Americans will suffer a serious mental disorder in their lifetime.”

Holistic medicine allows you to look past the label of Anxiety or Depression so that you can be more than just your illness. To effectively handle emotional imbalances we begin with a focus on your most subtle feelings to arrive at a more complete understanding of your mental, emotional and physical state. Holistic medicine is the true connection of mind, body and spirit. Acupuncture can ease anxiety by regulating the nervous system, lowering cortisol levels and regulating nitric oxide levels to reduce your symptoms efficiently and consistently.

Often times a result of Anxiety, Stress or Depression, Insomnia is believed to impact more than 50% of all adults. This serious sleep disorder is more than just tossing and turning in bed in order to fall asleep, or trouble staying asleep. Insomniacs often face physical symptoms of fatigue or lethargy, as well as tension, irritability and depression. Along with these conditions, the lack of sleep can cause additional lifestyle concerns such as poor memory, focus or concentration, delayed reaction times, increased distractions or even headaches.

Acupuncture works to repair the underlying emotional and physiological imbalances. By inserting needles into specific points of the body, acupuncture calms the nervous system removing obstructions in nerve and muscle channels allowing for better flow of oxygen enriched blood to relax the nervous system and ultimately prepare for sleep. In addition, acupuncture helps to increase nighttime melatonin (the body’s natural hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles) production and sleep duration.

Our unique program to address Anxiety and Insomnia related conditions includes a comprehensive assessment, acupuncture, supplements, and targeted movement and breathing techniques. Massage therapy and nutrition can further enhance your recovery through this process. We are excited to help as many people as we can to reclaim the best version of themselves, so you have come to the right place!
