Got Stress? Try Acupuncture!
Let’s face it, we all have some type of stress in our lives. Some of the most common symptoms related to stress are: headaches, chronic pain, frequent sickness, decreased energy, digestive issues, insomnia, rapid heart beat, depression, anxiety, memory loss, lack of concentration, teeth grinding, irritability and moodiness.
Nearly 77% of us exhibit some of these symptoms at one time or another as a result of the stress in our lives.
If you are looking for a healthy way to handle stress, Acupuncture is your answer. There are many studies about how effective acupuncture is in relieving stress, including ones showing how acupuncture lowers the stress hormone cortisol and stimulates the release of endorphins in the brain. Acupuncture balances the body including the nervous system, reducing anxiety, moderating mood, and creating an overall feeling of well-being. What better way to end a stressful day than to have a relaxing, balancing, and calming Acupuncture session.
Free 3D Mammography
This FREE mammography is considered preventive. If a follow-up visit is required, the mammogram becomes diagnostic and is charged to your health care. Remember this is a great deal as our insurance only covers 2D mammography, where as this option is free for a 3D screening.
