Stress is responsible for 99% of all modern diseases.  Whether emotional, physical, or chemical, stress is the reason our cellular machinery breaks down and flips the switch on our genetic predisposition to various diseases.  Our modern lives are inherently stressful, and the ancient practice of acupuncture provides a wonderful antidote to the ill-effects of stress.  

The connection between pain symptoms and stress.

When we are under stress, our brain is interpreting this experience as an actual threat to our survival.  Our brains are hard-wired to respond to threats to our survival with a cascade of biochemical changes to keep us safe from said danger. It doesn’t matter if the danger is perceived (if I don’t meet this deadline for work I’ll be in trouble) or real (there’s a crazy person with a weapon coming at me).  The effect is the same: we are primed for fight, flight or freeze mode.  

The cascade of biochemical changes creates changes in blood sugars, circulation, respiration, digestion, fertility, and many other physiological changes.  Over time, with repeated triggers into fight, flight or freeze, this has a negative impact on our health.  Everything from chronic inflammation, to insomnia, to immune system dysfunction to muscle pain and injury can result from too much stress. 

Stress has broad-reaching consequences for health, and fortunately, there is a simple solution to mitigate the continual triggering of a stress state: acupuncture.  Acupuncture relaxes the nervous system, switching us from a sympathetic (stressed)  to parasympathetic (relaxed) state.  Acupuncture improves circulation, enhances fluid exchange promoting detoxification, regulates digestion and much more.
