Acupuncture for Depression, Anxiety and Insomnia
Depression, anxiety and insomnia are very common conditions and can affect people from
all walks of life. In the U.S., depression is one of the ten most commonly reported medical conditions. Unfortunately,
many who seek medical treatment for depression are not getting enough help from their medication alone.

Acupuncture works to restore a calm and centered state of mind. It is well documented
that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, the neurotransmitters responsible for pain relief and a sense of well-being.
When treating depression, anxiety and insomnia, Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at
the whole person. Underlying causes are examined and addressed. Factors such as poor nutrition and dietary habits,
lack of exercise, stress, and illness are considered. A pattern is diagnosed, and a treatment plan is developed unique
to the individual.
