F.A.Q.

  • How does acupuncture help with anxiety?

    Research has shown that acupuncture can relieve anxiety, even in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments with psychotherapy and medication. It’s not clear exactly how acupuncture relieves anxiety, but it’s felt it may impact the way your body triggers the “fight or flight” response that occurs during anxiety or panic attacks.

    Other health benefits of acupuncture that may also help relieve anxiety include:

    • Regulation of your body’s circulatory system
    • Reduction in pain and inflammation
    • Reduced stress response in your body

    Acupuncture is a safe and natural treatment that addresses the root cause of your anxiety and not just the symptoms. You may experience relief from your anxiety with acupuncture alone or in combination with other therapies.

  • How many acupuncture treatments will I need for anxiety?

    The number of treatments you require depends on the severity of your symptoms and often varies from individual to individual. Your Madison Family Wellness practitioner may suggest you start with one or two sessions a week and then spread the treatments out as your symptoms improve. The treatment plan is always discussed in detail before you begin therapy.
