Stress activates our body’s fight or flight response. This response causes a cascade of hormonal and physiological changes meant to help us escape in the event of danger. However, our everyday stressors trigger our fight or flight constantly, wreaking havoc on our physical and mental health, and prematurely aging us.

​

Scientific studies have shown that acupuncture can regulate the autonomic nervous system, helping to reduce the “fight or flight” response that is often overactive in people experiencing chronic stress or anxiety. Our acupuncture treatments also trigger the release of endorphins—your body’s natural feel-good chemicals—which further help to ease tension, anxiety, and promote an overall sense of well-being. Whether your anxiety is situational or chronic, we can help you manage it naturally.
