Anxiety/Depression
Acupuncture Treatment for Anxiety and Depression
Bohnet Acupuncture & Chiropractic in La Quinta, CA uses acupuncture to treat a variety of ailments and complications, including anxiety and depression, for a complete healing experience. Anxiety and depression are common conditions for many. While traditional treatments such as psychotherapy and medications are the most popular healing method sought, they are ineffective in about 30% of the patients who seek them. Those that do find relief through drugs are often left managing issues from side effects. What therapy and medication lack is the vital step of treating the root cause of the mood disorder. That’s where acupuncture comes in.
Benefits of Acupuncture to Treat Anxiety and Depression
When used to treat anxiety and depression, acupuncture is part of a holistic approach to complete health. While anxiety and depression are connected to the mind, they are caused by an imbalance in the body’s energy source. The imbalance is a warning sign of disease, and anxiety and depression are side effects. Acupuncture is used as part of an integrative approach to treat the entire body to alleviate the symptoms. Acupuncture is a safe and healthy practice that comes with many benefits, including:
- No medications required – Treatment without drugs means patients won’t have to manage the negative side effects that come with them.
- Increases energy and lifts spirits – Endorphins are hormones in the body that act as a natural pain killer. Acupuncture needles target sensory nerves activating the hormone for a natural high and energy booster.
- Safe for during pregnancy – For expectant mothers dealing with emotional highs and lows during pregnancy, acupuncture is a safe alternative to introducing medications into the womb.
- Treats the entire body – In addition to improving the mind, acupuncture increases your overall health. It can reduce inflammation in joints, relieve tension headaches, and alleviate allergies.
