The Mayo Clinic describes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) as a \u201ccomplicated disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that lasts for at least six months and that can\u2019t be fully explained by an underlying medical condition. The fatigue worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn\u2019t improve with rest.\u201d It\u2019s estimated that there are more than 200,000 cases of CFS in the U.S. and research has proven that acupuncture, combined with other treatments can help to alleviate the symptoms that come with CFS.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several factors that can impact the severity of the symptoms of CFS. Let\u2019s take a look at just three symptoms of fatigue and how acupuncture can be effective at dealing with these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE LINKS BETWEEN STRESS AND FATIGUE – When we allow stress to build up over an extended period of time, our bodies will react to these situations and changes. Chronic stress can lead to both physical and mental exhaustion — and exhaustion can lead to a host of other issues like poor decision making, anxiety, and depression, just to name a few of the cascading issues that can come from chronic fatigue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GOOD QUALITY SLEEP – If we aren\u2019t sleeping well, our bodies won’t properly repair and can become depleted. Acupuncture helps with many types of sleep issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

FATIGUE IN WOMEN AND HORMONAL ISSUES – Hormone related fatigue, either from their menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause can be addressed with acupuncture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How Acupuncture Can Help<\/b><\/h3>\n

The most basic way that acupuncture begins to address the symptoms of fatigue is to look at the body\u2019s balance of qi (the life force of energy) that flows throughout our bodies. If a person is deficient in qi, that is the primary cause of the fatigue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you can expect if you are looking to acupuncture to help with your fatigue. The first thing I will do is perform a thorough consultation and exam to determine the specific symptoms of fatigue that you are experiencing. I can then determine a course of treatment addressing specific acupuncture points along the body to address imbalances in your system.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is plenty of research to share about just how effective acupuncture is at dealing with fatigue. A<\/span> 2018 study<\/span><\/a> of patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome showed \u201csignificant improvement in both physical and mental fatigue among participants who received daily acupuncture over the course of 10 days.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Acupuncture has also been proven to increase serotonin levels which helps to improve sleep as well as mood. It\u2019s an effective drug-free treatment without the side effects often caused by prescription medications. Another<\/span> study from 2015<\/span><\/a> found \u201cchronic fatigue patients who were given acupuncture as a supplement to conventional treatment showed greater improvement over patients who did not receive acupuncture.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let chronic fatigue keep you from facing your daily life. Give me a call today so I can help you put a treatment plan together to deal with the triggers causing your chronic fatigue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
