Treating Stress with Acupuncture

At What’s Good, we know that stress can take a toll on your health and well-being. Chronic stress can lead to a variety of health issues, including chronic diseases, pain, mental health problems, and disruptions to your body’s systems and functions.

Fortunately, acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer proven strategies to help manage stress and its related health issues. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce cortisol levels and increase the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood boosters. Chinese herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and meditation can also help manage stress and improve overall health.
