How does acupuncture work for anxiety?
Anxiety happens when our brain and nervous system overreacts to everyday stressors. We’re constantly under stress – back in the day, this would have been a lion chasing us but in today’s world it’s the constant pings on our phones, the endless zoom meetings, and 24/7 connectivity to everything. This puts our brain and nervous system into a state that is hyper alert which is a perfect setup to cause constant anxiety over things beyond our control.
The good news is that acupuncture can help to reset our stress response systems in both our brain and our body. Acupuncture works directly on the nervous system and by choosing the right combination of acupuncture points for you, Dr. Josh Hanson can help to calm the anxiety centers in your brain and help your body to make relaxing chemicals. Over time this literally helps to re-wire how your brain responds to stress giving you a permanent solution to anxiety!
