Acupuncture and Insomnia

Is your mind working overtime into the night?

Maybe you wake up and can’t fall back a sleep?

Prescription medications can knock you out but is your head in a fog the next day?

You can have better sleep with acupuncture and Traditional East Asian Medicine.

There are many types of insomnia.

Sleep problems are very common, but they aren’t normal. Some people can’t fall asleep. Some people wake at the same time every night. Some people can’t sleep because they are in pain. Some people dream too much. Some people have to go to the bathroom over and over again through the night. Some people have anxiety. Many people do sleep at night, but they don’t wake rested in the morning. Do any of those sound familiar? Those are just a few of the stories of the people we help to get a better night sleep.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve your sleep by balancing, nourishing, helping clear the points of obstruction in the body to increase circulation, and trigger hormones in the body that make us feel relaxed.

There are many possible reasons for poor sleep and Chinese medicine provides many possible solutions that are effective without side effects. My patients consistently report that they can sleep again without prescription drugs.

We make rest and relaxation a cornerstone of every treatment because sleep is the root of health.
