Understanding Anxiety Disorders

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental health conditions characterised by excessive fear, anxiety, or avoidance behaviours. They are the most common mental health disorders worldwide, affecting approximately 19.1% of the global population. 

Anxiety disorders can be categorized into several subtypes, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The exact causes of anxiety disorders are not fully understood, but they are thought to be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors.

How Acupuncture Eases Anxiety Symptoms

Anxiety can manifest in many forms, physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, and fatigue, as well as mental symptoms like racing thoughts and insomnia. Our acupuncture sessions are specifically designed to reduce these anxiety-related issues by addressing the nervous system directly. 

Here’s How Acupuncture For Anxiety Works:
  • Reduces stress hormones: Acupuncture helps lower cortisol, the hormone responsible for stress.

  • Stimulates endorphin release: Acupuncture encourages the body to release natural “feel-good” chemicals, improving mood and emotional balance.

  • Balances neurotransmitters: Acupuncture supports the regulation of brain chemicals that influence your mood, including serotonin and dopamine.

  • Calms the nervous system: By targeting the sympathetic nervous system, acupuncture promotes relaxation and reduces the “fight-or-flight” response that contributes to anxiety.

  • Improves sleep quality: Many clients report deeper, more restful sleep after acupuncture sessions, helping to reduce ongoing anxiety.

  • Eases muscle tension: Acupuncture releases tension in key areas, relieving both physical and mental stress.

Choosing the Right Acupuncture Treatment

When choosing an acupuncture treatment for anxiety, it is essential to find a licensed and experienced practitioner who uses sterile needles and follows proper sanitation procedures. The number of acupuncture sessions needed to notice a reduction in anxiety symptoms varies from person to person, but most people respond quickly to acupuncture and find it a very effective modality to use as part of their treatment plan. Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other therapies, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and medication, to treat anxiety disorders.
