Relieve Stress with Acupuncture

Acupuncture relaxes the body, reduces stress hormones, balances blood sugar, supports balanced hormones, and regulates the blood pressure and heart rate. Many of our clients feel as relaxed as if they had just had an hour massage after resting with the needles for 15- 30 minutes minutes, and the effects often last much longer.
