Overview of Treatment

Acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, takes a holistic approach to address depression and mood disorders. By gently inserting fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), and promotes the body’s self-healing mechanisms. This approach helps to regulate emotions, reduce anxiety and stress, enhance mood, and restore emotional well-being.

Conditions Treated

Our acupuncture treatments effectively address a range of depression and mood disorders, including:

  • Depression
  • Postpartum depression
  • Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
  • Bipolar disorder

During your initial consultation, our experienced acupuncturists will assess your specific condition, taking into consideration your symptoms, triggers, and any underlying factors contributing to your depression or mood disorder. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Treatment Process

During an acupuncture session for depression and mood disorders, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table. Our acupuncturist will gently insert fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on your body. These points may be located on your head, face, wrists, or feet, depending on your individual condition and treatment plan.

Once the needles are in place, you may experience a gentle sensation, such as warmth or tingling, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated and minimally invasive. You will have an opportunity to relax while the needles remain in position for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Many patients find this time to be calming and rejuvenating.
