Frequently Asked Questions

How does acupuncture help with stress and anxiety?

Acupuncture activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your 'rest and digest' mode), reducing cortisol and adrenaline while increasing endorphins and serotonin. This creates a deep sense of calm and helps reset your stress response.

What does a stress relief treatment feel like?

Most patients experience deep relaxation during treatment, often falling asleep. The needles are very fine and cause minimal sensation. Many describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more clear-headed after their session.

How many sessions do I need for stress relief?

Most patients notice improvement after 3-4 sessions. For ongoing stress management, we often recommend weekly treatments initially, then transitioning to maintenance sessions every 2-4 weeks.

Can acupuncture help with burnout?

Yes, acupuncture is excellent for burnout recovery. It helps restore energy, improve sleep, and rebuild resilience. We often combine acupuncture with lifestyle recommendations for comprehensive support.
