Acupuncture for Stress & Anxiety | Acupuncture - Victoria BC

Acupuncture is an extremely effective treatment for stress and anxiety. This is because acupuncture is a form of mindfulness meditation, as it allows the individual to engage in being and receiving as the needles guide the mind-body into a deep state of relaxation. Biomedically, acupuncture works with the brain by acting on the nervous system. Inserting a needle stimulates nervous system receptors. The receptor response increases brain firing and creates specific neurochemical changes. This brain and nervous system communication regulates the parasympathetic nervous system, boosts mood through serotonin and dopamine release, and eases pain through relieving muscle tension and the release of endorphins. As the needles are retained the body’s electromagnetic energy balances and improved blood flow occurs. Blood brings oxygen, nutrients, immune substances, analgesics, and anti-inflammatories to areas of the body that require healing. . .
