Acupuncture may be a helpful complementary therapy for managing anxiety symptoms. Studies suggest it can reduce anxiety levels by stimulating the release of feel-good hormones and potentially lowering stress hormones like cortisol. While more research is ongoing, acupuncture has shown promise as an effective and safe alternative or adjunct to conventional anxiety treatments, with fewer side effects.

How Acupuncture May Help:

Hormone Regulation:
Acupuncture may stimulate the body's natural release of endorphins and other neurochemicals that promote relaxation and reduce stress.

Nervous System Reset:
By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture may help regulate the nervous system, potentially shifting it from a state of "fight-or-flight" to one of relaxation.

Mind-Body Connection:
Acupuncture emphasizes the connection between mind and body, potentially helping individuals to become more aware of their physical and emotional responses to stress.

Healing is hard...
This acknowledges the emotional and mental effort required to process past and present pains, confront difficult emotions, and make necessary changes in one's life. It can involve therapy, self-reflection, difficult conversations, and letting go of unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Not healing is hard...
This emphasizes the consequences of avoiding healing, such as ongoing emotional distress, relationship problems, physical health issues, and a sense of being stuck or unfulfilled. It highlights that avoiding pain doesn't make it disappear; it often intensifies and prolongs suffering.

Choose your hard...
This is a call to action, urging individuals to weigh the challenges of healing against the challenges of not healing and to make a deliberate choice. It suggests that while both paths are difficult, choosing the path that leads to growth and well-being is ultimately more rewarding.

Therapy, in its many forms, shouldn't be avoided as it offers a wide range of benefits for mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Seeking therapy is a sign of strength and self-awareness, and can be a valuable tool for personal growth and improved overall health.

Acupuncture may be a helpful treatment for Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, offering pain relief and improved function. Studies suggest that acupuncture can lead to improved pain scores in individuals with SI joint dysfunction compared to those not receiving acupuncture. Additionally, acupuncture may increase blood flow to the SI joint, potentially aiding in pain relief and healing.
How Acupuncture Can Help:

• Pain Relief:
Acupuncture can help reduce pain associated with SI joint dysfunction by stimulating the release of endorphins and increasing blood flow to the area.

• Improved Function:
By addressing muscle imbalances and restrictions in the fascia, acupuncture can help restore proper joint movement and function.

• Targeting Underlying Issues:
Acupuncture can be used to address muscle imbalances, such as tight gluteal muscles, that can contribute to SI joint pain.

• Complementary Therapy:
Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other treatments like osteopathic manipulation, physical therapy, and even regenerative medicine techniques.

Specific Acupuncture Techniques:
• Needles may be inserted into the SI joint itself, near the "back dimples," to stimulate healing.

• Points along the bladder meridian (BL-28 and BL-27) may also be targeted.

• Electrotherapy, involving a mild electrical current applied to the needles, can be used to further enhance blood flow and pain relief.

If you are considering an alternative way of treating pain related to SI joint dysfunction, contact Lekha to arrange an initial assessment and let the healing begin.

Anxiety affects everyone from time to time, but for some people, it’s a chronic, debilitating disorder. Managing severe anxiety is tricky because one of the most common treatments, psychotherapy, may not provide results for months. Another management technique is to take anxiety medication, but this can have serious side effects. That’s why more people are turning to acupuncture therapy for anxiety treatment.

You may think of acupuncture as a way to treat physical pain, but it’s also effective at relieving emotional and mental distress associated with anxiety disorder. Acupuncture may work faster than psychotherapy, with noticeable results after the first few visits. Treatment also doesn’t involve pharmaceuticals or the side effects that come with them.

Don't Rush Healing

Healing is a journey, not a race. Whether it's your mind, body, or spirit, give yourself the time and patience you deserve. Embrace every step of the process, knowing that growth often happens in the quiet moments of waiting.

Your body is an incredible vessel that deserves care and patience. Healing isn’t always linear, and it’s crucial to listen to what your body is telling you. Take the time necessary to rest, recover, and rejuvenate. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and giving yourself grace is a form of strength.

Finding balance is a delicate art that requires flexibility. It’s about adjusting your expectations and allowing them to shift. Remember that your life has many moving parts. Some days will be good, some not so much. There will be days that will leave you feeling great about your work and personal life, and then there will be days where you’ll feel that despite all your effort, everything is falling apart.

Sometimes that’s exactly what finding balance is about. It’s about knowing that those sh*tty days have their purpose too- without them, you wouldn’t know what it’s like to have those good, productive, happy and fulfilling moments. When you put the same amount of value on everything, then nothing truly has value.

What they're saying...

"I had the pleasure of visiting Lekha for my first acupuncture session, and I couldn’t be more impressed!

Lekha immediately put me at ease with her calm demeanor and thoughtful approach. We started with a thorough consultation, where she took time to understand my needs and concerns. She then conducted a body scan to identify areas of tension or imbalance.

What stood out to me was her holistic approach — instead of focusing on just one specific issue, she treated my whole body, aiming to restore overall balance. Her explanations were clear and enthusiastic, which reflected not only her expertise but also her genuine passion for healing. I left feeling deeply relaxed and with a renewed sense of well-being.

I highly recommend Lekha to anyone, whether you're new to acupuncture or a seasoned pro — her skill and warmth make for a truly exceptional experience!"

Healthy circulation is vital for healing because it delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, supporting cellular repair and regeneration, and removing waste products.

Here's a more detailed explanation of the power of circulation for healing...

Delivery System for Healing:
Think of blood circulation as the body's delivery system for healing. It transports essential components like oxygen, nutrients (glucose, amino acids, vitamins), and immune cells directly to injured tissues.

Cellular Repair and Regeneration:
These nutrients are the building blocks necessary for cellular repair and regeneration, which are crucial for wound healing and tissue recovery.

Waste Removal:
A healthy circulatory system also helps remove waste products, including carbon dioxide and chemical byproducts, that are naturally created by organs.

Wound Healing:
Proper circulation is essential for wound healing, as it ensures that the body can effectively repair and regenerate damaged tissue.

Improved Outcomes:
Good circulation can lead to faster and more efficient wound healing, reducing the risk of complications and promoting overall health.

Lekha specializes in treatments that enhance blood flow and circulation to various parts of the body, thereby motivating repair, regeneration, healing and tissue recovery.
