Are you finding your acupuncture patients to be more stressed and anxious than usual?
A survey by the American Psychological Association found that 38% of people felt their stress levels increased during the holiday season.
Stress can lead to an increased risk of illness, substance misuse, and higher rates of anxiety and depression.
There is good scientific evidence encouraging acupuncture therapy to treat anxiety disorders as it yields effective outcomes.
Research has shown acupuncture can:
Decrease cortisol levels, helping the body get out of the ‘fight or flight mode,
Increase serotonin levels, which may help reduce anxiety and improve mood, and
Promotes calm and improved sleep.
Healthcare continues evolving to less invasive, natural, and drug-free methods with acupuncture now being a first-line complementary healthcare choice.
And remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
