How Acupuncture Can Provide Stress Relief
The first reason why you should try acupuncture as a stress-relief aid is because you’re taking time to care for your physical, mental, and emotional needs. That, in and of itself, can help reduce stress levels, and instead of releasing stress hormones, your body starts releasing feel-good hormones like endorphins.
Acupuncture targets certain parts, organs, or systems of the body that are weak, inflamed, or damaged. Dr. Harrison will place very thin needles at certain acupuncture points on your body. Then, the practitioner activates them with gentle movements or other types of stimulation.
By activating these acupuncture points, Qi (or energy) can move freely throughout the body. Like blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluid, if there’s stagnation of Qi, disease or discomfort can develop.
During an appointment, many patients become so relaxed that they fall asleep. After their appointment, they notice an improvement in:
- Sleep
- Stress relief
- Pain levels
- Blood pressure
- Allergies
- Weight loss
- Gastrointestinal issues

He’ll utilize the best therapies for your individual needs. By doing that, he helps your body heal faster so you can feel better and get back to living a full, active, pain-free life.
