Absolutely. Many patients come in for regular maintenance treatments to stay balanced and to reduce stress, and for prevention of illness and increased vitality. Acupuncturists see subtle signs of disease processes and imbalances before symptoms begin to surface. Chinese medicine effectively addresses these issues, preventing future health issues.
According to the Center for Disease Control, over 90% of all disease and illness is stress-related. Acupuncture has been proven to stimulate the opiate (or the endorphin system), which regulates the activity of the brain, decreases stress, and produces a deep state of relaxation. Depending on your levels of stress, diet, exercise, and current state of health, anywhere from once per week to once per month is recommended for wellness and prevention.
