At Wills Chiropractic, we are committed to helping our patients achieve better health naturally. Like chiropractic care, acupuncture is based on the belief that the body can heal itself. Acupuncture is used to help balance energy by stimulating blood flow and targeting specific areas of the body. You may have already heard of the benefits of acupuncture when it comes to chronic pain relief, but acupuncture can help with so much here. Here are some of the surprising benefits of acupuncture.

ENERGY BOOST  

Whether you’re in need of a mental or physical energy boost, acupuncture offers benefits in fighting off brain fog and exhaustion. Following an acupuncture treatment, you can experience a state of ease that allows for better rest and pain relief.  

MOOD ENHANCEMENT  

Most of us have been feeling more stressed than usual due to coronavirus. Whether your stress if chronic or caused by hormonal issues, acupuncture may be able to provide relief. During and after the application of acupuncture needles, your central nervous system (CNS) is stimulated and endorphins and other feel-good chemicals are released, thus improving your mood.

HEADACHE RELIEF  

Headaches may be something that just about everyone suffers from, but that doesn’t mean you have to. The precise placement of acupuncture needles near specific nerves have a pain-relieving effect. The release of endorphins also supports the feeling of reduced discomfort, which can lead to a breakthrough in recurring migraines and headaches.  

IMPROVED SLEEP  

Energy is just something we could all use more of! Acupuncture helps improve your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep because it increases the body’s natural ability to produce more melatonin. Melatonin regulates the sleep-wake cycles. In many of our patients, it is underproduced due to poor sleep habits and a modern lifestyle which can lead to feelings of exhaustion, insomnia, and frequent awakenings throughout the night. If this is ongoing for a long period of time, it can be the start of future health problems. Acupuncture can help restore your natural ability to fall and stay asleep.  

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT  

The unbalanced lifestyle that many people live today challenges the immune system. Because it is our first line of defense against illness, it is crucial that the immune system is functioning optimally – especially during a pandemic. Acupuncture can help strengthen the immune system to fight off illness and speed up healing time.
