How Can Acupuncture Help Me?

Acupuncture can help you in many ways, mentally, emotionally and physically. It can help specific health concerns, and it can help you feel better overall. It helps your body balance naturally, that’s why it can help so many different health concerns. It harnesses the natural healing ability of your body and directs the healing with needles. Here are just a few things that can be helped with Acupuncture:

1. Relieve Stress

Acupuncture can help us shed stress quickly. It helps shift our bodies and minds into a healing state where balance can be restored. While many patients experience immediate relief, with ongoing treatment, they report feeling better able to deal with ongoing stress in their lives. Things that used to stress them out, are handled with greater ease. They often report being calm in the face of circumstance that would have caused them distress.

2. Relieve Anxiety

Acupuncture is so good for anxiety. This is one of the treatments I personally love to offer, as patients are often amazed at how good they feel after treatment. By balancing the body, anxiety fades away. Oftentimes, one to two treatments can greatly relieve symptoms and help one feel more grounded and calm. If ongoing treatment is needed, the anxiety levels fade even further over time.

3. Relieve Pain

Many people know about Acupuncture for the treatment of pain. It helps by interrupting the patterns causing pain, and helping blood circulation in the area to reduce inflammation and speed healing. Sometimes pain fades with one treatment and it doesn’t return, but oftentimes, ongoing treatment is needed to be pain free. By continuing treatment until pain levels are zero, patients can recover from patterns of acute or chronic pain.

4. Relieve Digestive Concerns

Digestive troubles respond well to Acupuncture treatments. Heartburn, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis and many other digestive concerns can be helped with treatment. Helping patients reduce and eliminate the need for medications is rewarding. Digestion is the foundation for our health, and improving our ability to digest and absorb nutrients can improve our health and prevent many other health issues.

Acupuncture can treat many other health concerns. It treats the whole body naturally, so when one area of concern is addressed, oftentimes, other areas will improve. If you’re looking for help with your health, you might find great relief with Acupuncture. If you live in the San Jose, CA area, I can help you. If you live out of the San Francisco Bay area, contact me, and I can refer you to a practitioner in your area.

Acupuncuture Helped Anxiety, Depression, Sadness and Digestive Issues

Here's another testimonial from a patient who wrote about her experience with Acupuncture and how it helped her mentally and emotionally. I'm so glad she came in for treatment:

"After feeling tired and frustrated of relying on medications to relieve my enduring issues with tension, anxiety, sadness, depression and digestive issues, I finally made the decision to try acupuncture. I figured I had absolutely nothing to lose. All I knew was that I wasn't about to spend most of my life taking medications to treat these pervasive ailments.

After four sessions with Kara I immediately started to feel my symptoms diminish! It was during this time that I realized how equipped our bodies really are to deal with most emotional and bodily issues. I haven't felt this great in years! Thank you Kara for your genuine concern, kindness, hospitality, and generosity!"

Sometimes medications aren't enough to help someone feel better. Sometimes patients come to me because they have experienced reactions to medication and so meds are not an option for them. Acupuncture can help on many levels to help you feel better; physically, mentally and emotionally, because it treats the whole person, not just symptoms. Sometimes the results are dramatic and sometimes they take time. Either way, you can feel better with treatment in the majority of cases.

If you want to feel better and you live near San Jose, CA, I would be happy to help you with Acupuncture. If you need a referral in your area, check out the referral list for Acupuncturists here. Either way, don't just live with anxiety and depression, get treatment and find some relief!

Testimonial: Digestive Concerns Helped with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Here is a testimonial from a patient in his thirties that is otherwise healthy and strong, but was having digestive upset. Here's a little about his treatment and how Acupuncture, herbs, supplements and some minor dietary changes helped him:

"I was having trouble with my digestion for quite some time. I tried over the counter medication to cover up the uncomfortable symptoms I was experiencing but the symptoms only went away temporarily.

I went to see Kara for one treatment, and felt an immediate improvement. In fact my symptoms went away that same day. She explained to me what was going on in my body, what I needed to do to maintain a healthy digestive system and for the first time it made sense to me.

She also suggested some herbs and supplements that were helpful for when I couldn't get in for a treatment. I now have treatments once a month to help maintain my digestion and keep me balanced.

I feel much better after having acupuncture treatments, thanks!"
