SLEEP
Are you struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling exhausted? Sleep problems and insomnia are more common than most people realize—and poor sleep can affect everything from energy levels and mood to immune function, pain, and overall health.
Acupuncture is a proven, natural treatment for insomnia and sleep disorders. By calming the nervous system, regulating stress hormones, and supporting healthy circadian rhythms, acupuncture helps your body return to a state where deep, restorative sleep can happen naturally.
