Resilience Acupuncture
Traditional Eastern Medicine for Modern Western Culture
Regular acupuncture sessions help keep us balanced and support a strong immune system—so we can live our best lives without the overwhelm of anxiety, stress, pain, and fatigue.​
​
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the oldest natural healing practices, used by millions of people around the world for its effectiveness.
It became more widely known in the United States in the 1970s and is now being integrated into hospitals and medical practices across the country.
How Does Acupuncture Work?
There’s no single answer—and many theories exist.
Some research suggests acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, setting off a cascade of hormones and neurotransmitters that help the body heal itself.
Pain-relieving substances like natural opioids may be released during treatment. While acupuncture is often associated with pain relief, its benefits reach much further.
