How can acupuncture help?
One of the most common responses following an acupuncture session is: they “had the best nights sleep ever.”
Acupuncture works by tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system, which is active during our sleep.
For insomnia, acupuncture can specifically work to regulate the circadian rhythm and help calm the mind to prepare for more restful sleep.
Most patients find the treatment very relaxing and find their sleep improves with acupuncture treatments.
