What the Research Says:

Several studies have supported the efficacy of acupuncture in aiding the symptoms associated with sleeping issues. For instance, a study published in the The Anatomical Record found that participants who received acupuncture experienced significant improvements in sleep quality compared to those who did not. Another study in The Journal of Neuropsychiarty and Clinical Neurosciences highlighted that acupuncture not only helped reduce the time it took for participants to fall asleep but also improved the overall duration and quality of their sleep. Further, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine reported that insomnia participants experienced a significant improvement in their symptoms when compared to pharmacological treatments. 

Enhancing Wellbeing:

Beyond improving sleep, acupuncture has been found to boost mood and enhance a sense of wellbeing. By stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals, acupuncture can help alleviate the symptoms of low mood and anxious bodily sensations. This is particularly beneficial to those of us who are often juggling stresses in both our professional and personal lives.

Why Acupuncture?

Safe and Minimally Invasive

One of the biggest advantages of acupuncture is its safety profile. The pins used are extremely thin, which makes the entire process virtually painless for most people. And, unlike medications, acupuncture comes with minimal side effects, making it a viable option for those who prefer a natural approach to health.

Easily Accessible

Acupuncture has become increasingly accessible, with most private health insurance companies now covering a portion of the treatment.

Comprehensive Benefits

While medications often focus solely on inducing sleep, acupuncture addresses the root causes of your imbalance to tease out the underlying issues thus allowing for a more comprehensive and longer lasting effect.
