Insomia and Acupuncture

Insomnia can be very frustrating, but it’s more than just an annoyance. When insomnia becomes ongoing, or chronic, your body is unable to get the rest and renewal it needs for you to feel your best. In fact, a lack of quality sleep can cause problems such as difficulty concentrating, diminished energy, low mood, and trouble performing everyday tasks. Since sleep strengthens the immune system, insomnia can leave you susceptible to many other health concerns. Luckily, you have options when experiencing chronic insomnia.

ACUPUNCTURE CAN HELP

According to the theories of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, conditions such as insomnia are a sign of an imbalance in Qi (“chee”), the vital energy that animates the body and protects it from illness.

This imbalance can stem from a number of causes such as stress, anxiety, medications, depression, hormones and chronic pain. To determine the underlying causes of your insomnia, the acupuncturist will take many factors into account including your lifestyle, as well as your emotional and mental well-being. The acupuncturist will then work to restore the balance and flow of Qi by inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points along the body.

You may find that you sleep better after your very first session, though you will most likely receive the most benefit from a series of treatments.

Your acupuncturist can get to the root of your sleep issues by taking into account all of the factors that may be contributing to your sleep disturbance. With this ancient form of health care, you can treat your symptoms, improve your overall health and well-being, and start looking forward to a great night’s sleep, every night.
