Kansas City Chiropractor Uses Acupuncture to Help Patients Relax from Stress

 Have you been stressed out lately?  Have you been anxious with all the storms? Weather? Taxes?  Regardless of the reason for your stress, Acupuncture can be a very powerful treatment that can make a huge difference in how you can handle the stress, and how much of a toll it can take on your body.

I'm going to share my own personal experience with you today:

 With the recent tornadoes in St. Louis, I have been feeling really stressed out.  The tornado thankfully spared my parent's home, but has seriously devastated their Chiropractic office in Bridgeton, MO and they are unable to practice there right now.  I spent my entire childhood at that office, and I have so many memories there.  My stomach hurt Friday night and my chest felt achy with fear as I was trying to find out if the storms had damaged their home or office.  Throughout the weekend, I saw pictures of the devastation and kept talking to my mom getting updates.  A couple of days of this can really take a toll on anyone emotionally/mentally/physically/spiritually, and I wasn't even experiencing in person!  My heart goes out to all those impacted by the storms in St. Louis as well as all families that have been impacted by any natural disaster.

 Fast forward to this morning.  My Chiropractor/Acupuncturist had an appointment with me for their treatment.  Fortunately, she also had time to adjust me as well as give me a really great Acupuncture treatment.  She checked which energy meridians were sensitive or had tender points and used Acupuncture needles to stimulate the points that would best relax my body.

For example, points along my heart meridian and kidney meridian were very sensitive, which correlate with emotional upset including fear and anxiety.  My stomach meridian also had a couple of tender points, which correlates with the emotions of fear and worry.  

 Within a matter of minutes after my Acupuncture session started, I felt more relaxed and less overwhelmed.  My mind started to clear and my energy level started to lift.

 By the end of my session, I felt so much better!  I'm sure many of you have been through traumatic events or stressful events in your life, and I want you to know that Acupuncture can make a huge difference for you in your journey.  Combine that with a great Chiropractic adjustment to maximize your relaxation and results!

 I love making a difference for my patients, and I especially enjoy helping them through rough or stressful moments in their lives.  If you or someone you know is going through a tough or stressful time, please pass this along to them.  It may be just the email they needed today!
