Anxiety & Depression
Feel like Yourself AGAIN!
Maybe you have been given a diagnosis of anxiety or depression and handed a prescription for a medication without further explanation. Maybe you feel a sense of dread or pain without knowing why. Or you can’t silence the negative thoughts which put you on edge. Or you feel like you’re constantly in a go-mode and can’t relax. These are common, but it does not have to be this way. You are not alone and there is help!
How Acupuncture Helps
Depression and anxiety are symptoms, a sign that something is off balance or ill in the body that needs to be remedied. The question to ask is WHY. Why are you feeling this way? Why is your body creating symptoms that manifest as anxiety or depression? And what can we do to rectify that root cause and bring you back into balance and feeling like yourself again?
Acupuncture is great at treating anxiety, depression and stress. It is so good at it that it’s almost a side effect of an acupuncture treatment. Even if that is not your primary symptom you are seeking relief for, you will notice an immediate improvement in your mood and stress levels.
