Stress is a natural response to challenging situations, motivating us to take action and stay alert. However, chronic stress can lead to physical and emotional imbalances, causing a variety of symptoms including muscle tension, headaches, sleep disturbances, etc. 

Anxiety is a more persistent feeling of unease, fear, worry, or even panic. It can be debilitating, affecting an individuals daily life, relationships, ability to work, and overall well-being. Anxiety can manifest in a wide variety of ways unique to each person.

Relaxing the body, releasing endorphins, balancing emotions, and regulating cortisol (stress hormone) levels are just a few of the ways acupuncture can help in these situations. The holistic approach of assessing the entire body and looking for root causes to symptoms is what makes acupuncture such an effective therapy. Plus acupuncture is gentle and safe, as opposed to many medications which may have a range of side effects.
