Why our natural anxiety and insomnia treatment works so well

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_keep-it-simple_circle

We keep it simple

Complicated doesn’t always mean more sophisticated, or better. Sometimes it’s the simple approach that gets the biggest result. We work to identify the clearest treatments for your specific problem and go from there. These treatments may include acupuncture, herbal supplements, and simple, doable lifestyle tweaks to get the strongest impact in your anxiety and insomnia relief.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_proven-system_circle

We use a proved system that has been treating anxiety and insomnia successfully and naturally for centuries

You may have been told that there’s nothing to be done for your anxiety and insomnia except to manage it with medications or supplements. We do things differently. We work on getting you relief, but we also work on healing your body, with acupuncture, herbal supplements and simple lifestyle recommendations, to show your body a way out of anxiety, not just managing your problem.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_root-cause_circle

We get to the root of what is causing your insomnia or anxiety

Trouble relaxing? Challenges with Sleep? Feeling Tense? Never waking rested? We work on breaking the nervous system pattern your body has established and address the cause. Why does your mind just not relax? We go there. Why are you not able to get back to sleep? We want to address that. What is causing the anxiety issues? Let’s get to the bottom of things so that it doesn’t keep coming back.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_live-in-balance_circle

We remind your body how to live without anxiety

Bodies are wise — they want to be efficient. Anxiety is efficient — it is a signal that things are out of balance somewhere. By improving your balance, we break the cycle of restlessness and insomnia and give your body an alternative route — an easier way, without anxiety. It doesn’t happen overnight, but over time, the body remembers that it can live without the problem, and that it used to live without this issue. We wake up the body’s natural healing mechanism to get back to this state of well-being, sleeping well, anxiety-free.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_focus-on-feel_circle

We focus on how you feel, not just X-rays, MRIs, and scans

Did you know that some folks have medical and other tests that show normal, but they still have issues? Medical testing can be a fantastic tool, but it is not the final word. The final word we believe in is how you feel. Can you take a walk, relax with friends and enjoy yourself without self-medicating? Can you go about your daily business and feel comfortable and effective? Are you having more good days? That’s our marker for getting you well again.

Acupuncture-of-Iowa_Peripheral-Neuropathy_lifestyle-recommendations_circle

Our approach always includes simple lifestyle recommendations to maintain a healthy nervous system

We meet each patient where they are at in their health journey, and give appropriate recommendations based upon that. Sometimes it’s a simple tea. Sometimes it’s a doable lifestyle tweak. Sometimes it’s a focus on changing sleep habits. Our goal is for you to feel good in your body and your life, and we provide tools for you to get there faster.

Just as we are all individuals, anxiety and insomnia are unique issues to each person.

It shows up differently in different people. Our holistic methods look at the person and the problem, and we treat the big picture as well as the symptoms. The goal is always relief, but getting to the bottom of what is causing your issue is part of the long-term strategy to alleviate the source of the problem. Our bodies want to be efficient. It actually takes a lot more work to live in a pattern of problems than it does to live in health. Our techniques remind the body that healing is a more efficient method of operating and that living without anxiety and insomnia takes less energy.

Gentle Acupuncture

Our specialty is gentle acupuncture. Acupuncture has been healing bodies for centuries, by awakening and stimulating your own body’s innate healing process. It restores cells and tissues, cleans up what doesn’t belong there, and gets blood flow moving to reduce pain.

Herbal Supplements

Herbal supplements simultaneously cure and strengthen the body. This is an important approach for anxiety and insomnia — herbal supplements can trigger great relief while working on strengthening the body to prevent further problems and degeneration. This combination makes herbal medicine particularly well-suited to addressing all kinds of anxiety, insomnia and its causes.

Acupuncture of Iowa Iowa City Diet and Nutrition icon

Functional Nervous System Support

When your nerves, brain and cells are fully nourished with the specific nutrients they need, these tissues naturally function at a very high level. When tissues are functioning at a high level, there’s far less opportunity for issues to set in.

Relaxation & Stress Reduction

When your body is in a state of relaxation, it is able to repair itself at the deepest level. In this state, your brain and nerves become more synchronized and calm — creating the perfect stage for health and healing. This means less static in your nervous system, better brain chemical balance, less inflammation, a calmer mind, more energy and better mood.

Transitional Care as Improvements Are Maintained

Once we see improvements that are maintained over time, we will start spacing visits out further apart. This usually occurs after 8 to 12 visits, with some individual variability. We will go from weekly visits to visits every 10 to 14 days, then once a month, then on an as-needed basis for “tuneups.” We are here for you, in case you have other healthcare issues you want to address, or feel like your anxiety or insomnia is prone to a flare-up during a particular time or activity. Of course, many of our patients wish to continue with regular maintenance, and we are always happy to work with you on that level, if that is your wish.
