Stress

Stress comes in all sorts of packages, and can include…

Divorce

It’s a statistic on a page until it happens to us, and then it can be a chaotic and tumultuous reality. It can be one of the most stressful experiences one will ever need to endure.

Are you in the process of separation and divorce? How is it affecting you? Are you tearful? Angry? Afraid? Having trouble concentrating, sleeping or remaining focused at work? Are you trying to re-design your life without a manual?

Would you like to do something that builds up your energy, calms your emotions and even helps to turn the situation into a growth experience?

There is an alternative to medication and an adjunct to counseling. Try acupuncture.

Difficult life events

Do you feel like you haven’t been the same since ______happened? Shocks in our lives, such as divorce, death of a loved one, job loss, re-location, long periods of stress or overwork, accidents, illness, or abuse can take their toll mentally and physically.

Do you feel like you had a turning point in your life? Is there something that is bothering you and you just can’t seem to resolve it? Have you tried counseling and medication and still haven’t been able to get back to yourself?

Acupuncture has a unique way of getting to the core of a person and ‘re-setting our dials,’ to use a metaphor. By restoring the natural flow of qi, which is in fact our natural life force and self expression, effects of shock and trauma can be reduced or resolved.

Over work

Anytime we work too hard for too long, perhaps at a job, raising a family, going through a period of vigorous physical activity, or enduring a heavy travel schedule, we may experience symptoms of overwork. These symptoms can include fatigue, irritability, difficulty sleeping, ringing in the ears, shortness of breath, sweating at night, upset stomach, and more. If you have been through a period of heavy output and don’t seem to be recovering with rest and relaxation, you might want to consider acupuncture.

Unusual symptoms

“Something is wrong with me and no one seems to know what to do about it!” Sound familiar? Are you one of the many who know you are just not as healthy and resilient as you could be but there is no label to put on it?

Acupuncture has a completely different method of diagnosis from western medicine and can pick up on and treat nuances that don’t fit into any particular category. Would you like to be seen as a whole and unique person, not a label or a diagnosis when you come in for treatment? Acupuncture might be a good choice for you.
