I understand completely. If I pulled a muscle in my back and went to a doctor who gave me medication to help with digestion, I would be confused and annoyed he wasn\u2019t dealing with the issue I came in with. So, when I see patients, I focus on their presenting issue. I know once this problem has resolved, they will likely see other beneficial side effects from the treatment, such as:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\">A reduction in stress or anxiety. Acupuncture is incredibly calming, and when you get acupuncture on a regular basis, that feeling of peace and well-being tends to become your new norm. Life\u2019s little stresses just seem easier, somehow.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">You don\u2019t get sick as often. Acupuncture boosts the immune system, and patients who come consistently often comment on having fewer colds and illnesses throughout the year.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Better sleep. I\u2019ve had some of the best night\u2019s sleep of my life after a session. It promotes a deep, restorative sleep that can\u2019t be matched by anything else I have tried. Acupuncture is very effective for insomnia, but even those without sleep issues look forward to a fantastic night\u2019s sleep after a treatment.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Less painful periods. When the blood and energy of the body flows as it should, pain and stiffness disappear. Acupuncture moves the blood, lessening cramps and even alleviating the symptoms of PMS.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Happier digestion. Again, acupuncture is moving, so it creates movement within the digestive tract too. If you are prone to constipation, this medicine can get you unstuck. And if you fall on the other end of the spectrum and suffer from frequent or loose bowel movements, acupuncture can help to regulate that as well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">More energy. When your body is in balance, you have the appropriate amount of energy to get through your day without dragging. Patients who get treatment regularly tell me that they feel more energized and alert throughout the day.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Increased fertility. Studies have shown getting regular acupuncture increases your chances of getting pregnant. It regulates the hormones and lowers stress levels.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\">Better relationships. I know it sounds strange, but hear me out. Acupuncture helps to regulate the emotions. It can vent your anger, ease your grief and help you to let go of negativity you\u2019ve been holding on to. Irritated or frustrated? Try a treatment. You will immediately feel those emotions slipping away. When your negative feelings begin to transition into a lighter, calmer place, you will connect with people around you in a very different way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p2\">During an initial session of acupuncture, most practitioners begin with an extensive health intake that goes over all of the systems in the body.
