Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) helps many patients seeking emotional balance. Both acupuncture and herbal medicine can ease stress, calm anxiety and uplift depression. Acupuncture subdues the sympathetic nervous system, also called the “flight or fright” response. Because energy is diverted away from renewal and regeneration, a body that is continuously under stress is more susceptible to chronic degenerative diseases. Many patients find that by treating their emotional symptoms, many of their physical symptoms also improve. Improved sleep, better digestion, increased immunity and a decrease in chronic pain are but a few examples of what TCM can do for you.

Although there are many pain-relieving treatments available, pain itself is an indication that there is a problem somewhere in the body. Many pain remedies simply mask symptoms with the hope that the body will heal itself. Acupuncture decreases pain levels while encouraging the body’s own healing response. Acupuncture improves pain by: 1) relaxing muscles to ease spasms, 2) reducing inflammation and swelling, 3) increasing circulation and 4) raising endorphin levels and lessening the nervous system’s pain response.
