Acupuncture has been found to stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's own natural pain-killers. In addition to relieving pain, acupuncture can also help a person relax. Patients will frequently fall into a light sleep from which they awaken refreshed and rejuvenated.

When people live with stress every day, they become accustomed its effects. Many people with chronic stress experience symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, insomnia, and lack of focus (to name a few). Acupuncture can help ameliorate those effects by stimulating the human body's natural ability to relax and rebuild itself.

If you live with chronic stress, you might consider trying a short course of acupuncture. We recommend three treatments, each one week apart. You might be surprised by how good you feel...after just one treatment!
