CAN ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT HELP WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY
Acupuncture has the potential to alleviate symptoms of anxiety. This traditional Chinese medicine technique involves the insertion of needles into specific pressure points on the body, which may enhance anxiety relief. There some scientific evidence supporting acupuncture's effectiveness for certain anxiety symptoms, but researchers are still exploring its impact on specific types of, including:
PANIC ATTACKS
POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD)
OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD)
Acupuncture should only be administered by a professional, such as Dr Annie Yang 杨 from OAHU Acupuncture Clinic in 'Aiea 96701. During your initial visit, our practitioner will inquire the symptoms you wish to address, as well your current medications, medical history, and any other health issues.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF ACUPUNCTURE IN TREATING YOUR STRESS AND ANXIETY?
REGULATES THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
Acupuncture aids in soothing the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the “fight or flight” response, while boosting parasympathetic activity, known as the “rest and digest” response. This transition can alleviate anxiety and foster a sense of tranquility.
RELEASE OF "FEEL GOOD" HORMONES
Increases the levels of endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine—neurotransmitters that play a key role in regulating mood and alleviating pain and stress.
LOWERS CORTISOL LEVELS
Acupuncture may help lower cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, which can reduce physical symptoms of anxiety (like rapid heartbeat or headaches).
IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY
Many individuals dealing with anxiety also face challenges with sleep. Acupuncture can assist in regulating melatonin production, enhancing sleep cycles and promoting better overall restfulness.
PERSONALIZED & HOLISTIC TREATMENT
Practitioners customize treatments to address your unique emotional and physical symptoms, providing a holistic approach rather than merely treating superficial issues.
PROMOTES MIND-BODY AWARENESS
The treatment itself is meditative—lying still, focusing on breath, and feeling sensations in the body can promote mindfulness and reduce rumination.
PHYSICAL RELAXATION
Many people report feeling deeply relaxed, even euphoric, after sessions. This physical sensation alone can help break cycles of chronic stress.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ACUPUNCTURE FOR STRESS & ANXIETY
During your first appointment, Honolulu Licensed Acupuncturist Dr. Annie Yang of OAHU Acupuncture Clinic typically asks about the symptoms you’re experiencing. They may also ask about:
MEDICATIONS YOU USED
YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY
OTHER HEALTH CONCERNS YOU HAVE
In your session, the acupuncturist will place long, thin needles into various pressure points on your body. The of this process can range 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the points selected. Your acupuncturist might twist the needles or use electrical pulses on them. The needles may remain in place for up to 40 minutes before being gently removed.
