According to Phillipa Lally, a psychological researcher, it takes approximately 66 days to create a new behavior pattern. The amount of time it takes each individual to change or create a new behavior pattern can vary from 18-254 days! Acupuncture can provide the small step you need to start feeling better. Acupuncture has myriad general health benefits including: improving blood flow, calming & resetting the brain, balancing Qi & clearing blockages, stimulating the central nervous system, releasing hormones & chemicals into the body, reducing pain & inflammation, and improving mood.
Acupuncture is gentler on the body than surgery or medications and is also able to promote healing post-surgery. Research suggests that regular acupuncture treatments can improve outcomes for digestive, emotional, mental health, ear-eye-throat, fertility, musculoskeletal, neurological, respiratory, and addiction related conditions. While one acupuncture treatment may not counteract the long term impact of chronic issues, it has the capacity to stimulate positive change. Over time these effects will compound, aiding your body in achieving equilibrium.
Change starts with one small step. As Aristotle says, “we are what we repeatedly do,” so we’d love to be part of your routine. Whatever your health goals, we will offer a compassionate ear & work with you to achieve them.
