Back to School with Holistic Care
Acupuncture for Back to School
Back to school season is a really tough time of year. Parents are stressed out, students (of all ages) can feel some anxiety, and teachers are feeling the stress too! This time of year truly effects everyone.
Acupuncture and other holistic modalities provide ways to encourage focus, improve energy, reduce anxiety, support hormone changes, and build the immune system.
Acupuncture is a great way to treat stress and to help you relax. Stress is directly related to the nervous system and can cause many other issues throughout the body; including a lowered immune system, trouble sleeping, headaches, and can lead to depression or further anxiety. Acupuncture triggers the production of our natural “feel good” hormones to bring the body back to balance. Many patients will notice less insomnia, lowered anxiety, and a feeling of relief or relaxation. Acupuncture can also help clear brain fog and improve memory to help with studying and testing.
It is also important to make sure you are taking care of your physical health this time of year as well as your mental health. Students athletes need to make sure that they are taking care of themselves as they progress through they’re seasons! Acupuncture, cupping, massage, and chiropractic are all incredible ways to make sure you are treating your body with care.
Cupping is an amazing tool to help athletes! Athletes in the 2024 Olympics have spoken recently how they swear by it to help keep their bodies in perfect shape! Cupping is an ancient practice that is used to relieve muscle tension and help improve blood circulation. Acupuncture also releases endorphins which is the body’s natural painkiller, increases blood circulation important for healing, and loosens tight muscles. Massage and chiropractic are equally important services when trying to maintain a healthy body and releasing tension.
Acupuncture and holistic therapies are yours to utilize this school year. Whether you are dealing with stress, insomnia, lack of energy, sickness, hormone changes, or sports injuries! Don’t let the business of the season delay your self care!
