Stress doesn’t just live in the mind.
It settles into muscles, alters circulation, and keeps the nervous system in a constant state of alert.
Acupuncture works by signaling safety to the body. Through precise stimulation of the nervous system, treatment helps release unconscious muscle guarding, restore healthy tone, and improve circulation and oxygen delivery to tissues.
As the nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight and into a regulated state, the body is finally able to soften, reset, and recover.
This isn’t about forcing relaxation.
It’s about giving the body the information it needs to regulate itself again.
At South Slope, we focus on nervous system balance as the foundation for lasting relief, resilience, and whole-body wellness.
