Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been proven successful in the enhancement of the effectiveness of treatment for depression, anxiety and stress related disorders.

Acupuncturists understand that there is a powerful interplay between body and emotions, the two are inseparable. We also understand that when one experiences emotional upset, ones internal environment also becomes isrupted, leading to physical symptoms of psychiatric disorders., and when ones internal environment has changed, ones emotions can be greatly affected.

According to acupuncture theories, these disorders can be the result of an imbalance or blockage in one or more of the body’s organ systems and meridian pathways. When Qi (energy) becomes blocked or the quantity of Qi is insufficient and unable to properly nourish the organs. This can lead to illness, disease and emotional upset.

Many things can cause Qi to become blocked:

• Physical trauma

• Reduce insomnia

Acupuncture provides a safe and natural way to address these disorders. The focus is upon achieving a balance of body and mind.
