Wellness with ModernAcu
Acupuncture can help boost your health and wellness in these areas:
STRESS
Stress is the cause and/or major factor in disease and chronic illness. Acupuncture reduces cortisol, or the stress hormone that increases during times of stress. It brings your body out of the fight of flight stress response and into a more relaxed state. Stress manifests in so many ways and it is by treating the root, we can help many symptoms associated with the problem.
SLEEP
Good restorative sleep is vital for clearing waste from the brain, repairing cells and supporting memory and mental agility. Acupuncture stabilizes the natural circadian rhythm, which affects metabolism, hormones, mood, memory and many other important bodily functions.
MOOD
Acupuncture can stimulate the release of serotonin and dopamine which are neurotransmitters in the brain that affect your mood, sleep and behaviour. These important chemical messengers help you feel good and regulate your moods.
ENERGY
We see the body is an interconnected energy system. When all the energy pathways (we call meridians) are open and there is unobstructed flow, then all the organ systems work well. If there are disruptions in the path, that is when symptoms arise. By stimulating acupuncture points along these pathways, we can restore proper energy flow which helps your body’s system work optimally.
IMMUNITY
This scientific study shows that acupuncture can stimulate the body’s natural killer cells which induce an anti-cancer immune function.
CANCER SUPPORT

PAIN RELIEF
Over 80% of those with chronic pain also suffer from depression and other mood disorders. Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in the treatment of pain. Its unique role in reducing suffering in patients experiencing pain is one of the main reasons it has become so popular around the world.
ANXIETY
The best available evidence demonstrates that acupuncture has moderate benefits in the treatment of anxiety. Studies show that acupuncture is more effective than pharmacotherapy and comparable to talking therapy, making it a helpful referral choice. Moreover, research has revealed several known biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that may offer an explanation of how this ancient modality works.
DEPRESSION
A scientific study found that electroacupuncture was just as effective as fluoxetine (Prozac) in reducing symptoms of depression. The acupuncture began to work faster, reducing symptoms more dramatically at weeks two and four than the drug did. Among the patients who got better, a higher percentage of the acupuncture recipients showed “great improvement.”
ADDICTION
The NADA Protocol used at ModernAcu is a non-verbal approach to healing. NADA involves the gentle placement of up to five small, sterilized disposable needles into specific sites on each ear.
NADA ear acupuncture is an adjunct therapy which is clinically effective, cost-efficient, drug-free and compatible cross-cultural for supporting those suffering from cravings (food, nicotine, alcohol, drugs), withdrawal symptoms or stress and emotional trauma.
