STRESS + EMOTIONAL WELL BEING
ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR STRESS & ANXIETY
Regain your tranquility.
Reestablish your core connection.
HOW STRESS SHOWS UP IN THE BODY
Stress is widely recognized for its effects on our mental state and on our physical health.
Chronic stress can manifest in various ways, including tension, fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, sleeplessness, hormonal imbalances and more.
Stress can bring about...
-
Digestive issues
(Bloating, IBS, Food Sensitivities)
-
Insomnia or non-restorative sleep
-
Chronic tension
-
Fatigue and adrenal burnout
-
Irregular periods or hormonal shifts
-
Anxiety, irritability, or emotional numbness
-
Trouble focusing or feeling present in your life
ACUPUNCTURE Treatment Benefits:
If you’re juggling responsibilities, navigating stress, or just feeling off-balance,
acupuncture offers a gentle, natural way to reconnect with a clearer, calmer version of yourself.
SUPPORTING MENTAL CLARITY and EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Emotional imbalances—like irritability, sadness, or worry—
are seen as disruptions in the flow of Qi (energy) through specific organ systems.
-
The Liver is linked to anger and frustration.
-
The Spleen relates to overthinking and worry.
-
The Heart governs joy and mental focus.
Acupuncture helps restore harmony to these systems,
creating emotional steadiness and mental sharpness from the inside out.
REGULATES THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Acupuncture aids in soothing the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “fight or flight” response, while boosting parasympathetic activity, known as the “rest and digest” response. This transition can alleviate anxiety and foster a sense of tranquility.
RELEASE OF "FEEL GOOD" HORMONES
Increases the levels of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—neurotransmitters that play a key role in regulating mood and alleviating pain and stress.
IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY
Many individuals dealing with anxiety also face challenges with sleep. Acupuncture can assist in regulating melatonin production, enhancing sleep cycles and promoting better overall restfulness.
PROMOTES MIND-BODY AWARENESS
Acupuncture Treatment itself is meditative—lying still, focusing on breath, and feeling sensations in the body can promote mindfulness and reduce rumination.
IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY
Melatonin is your body’s natural sleep hormone. Research shows acupuncture can increase nighttime melatonin levels, which means deeper, more restful sleep.
LOWERS CORTISOL LEVELS
Acupuncture may help lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, which can reduce physical symptoms of anxiety (like rapid heartbeat or headaches).
PERSONALIZED & HOLISTIC TREATMENT
Dr. Susie Choi customize treatments to address your unique emotional and physical symptoms,
providing a holistic approach.
PHYSICAL RELAXATION
Many people report feeling deeply relaxed after Acupuncture Treatments at Torrance Acupuncture.
Experiencing this physical sensation can, on its own, disrupt patterns of chronic stress
PHYSICAL RELAXATION
Acupuncture helps by increasing circulation, and releasing feel-good endorphins, helping you rest and relax, without discomfort holding you back.
