Anxiety & Depression

Acupuncture can help with anxiety & depression. The two often go hand in hand, but anxiety and depression don’t always go together.  If you are experiencing some of these symptoms acupuncture could help you greatly.  Here is a list of the more common symptoms:

Anxiety:

  • Racing heart
  • Feeling stressed out or unable to relax
  • Inability to focus or trouble having coherent thoughts
  • Head feeling fuzzy or foggy
  • Spontaneous sweating
  • Increased agitation
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Chest pain or tightness
  • Excess or nervous energy
  • Flushed face or skin

Depression:

  • Feeling sad or down for an extended period of time
  • Don’t want to get out of bed
  • Low energy or low drive to do anything
  • Fatigue
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Crying frequently for no reason
  • Not understanding why you just don’t feel well

I am taking medication for my anxiety & depression, can acupuncture still help?

Yes, acupuncture can help. Often acupuncture treatments can help you to feel more stabilized on your medication, lower your dosage or help you with some medication side effects.

Does stress play a role in anxiety & depression?

Yes, often stress can be the trigger that starts the anxiety/depression feelings.  Stress can lead not only to anxiety & depression, but also headaches and migraines, shoulder and neck tension and stiffness, insomnia, inability to focus or concentrate, foggy head feelings, tightness in the jaw, weight gain and many other issues that you may not recognize as stress related.

I don’t feel like I have anxiety or depression bad enough for medication. Could acupuncture help in this situation?

Yes, acupuncture can help. Often acupuncture can get you feeling like yourself again.

If you suspect you might be suffering from more serious issues such as a heart condition, we suggest you visit your primary care physician for a diagnosis.  Acupuncture can be an effective treatment for anxiety / depression.

Come in and see how acupuncture can help you control the stress/anxiety/depression and start feeling relief.

LOCATIONS & APPOINTMENTS

The Wellness Studio is my most favorite place because it cured my terrible migraines!! It also drastically improved my vertigo symptoms. I see Jeanette for acupuncture and after just a few treatments I had no more migraines after a year and a half of struggling with this issue. No medicine, no side effects, immediate results, and a world of a difference! She is so flexible with her schedule, takes all different aspects of your life/health into account, and truly listens. I owe the world to Jeanette, she is a miracle worker!!

This place is fantastic! Everyone who works there is kind, professional and helpful. Jeanette is a miracle worker! She is extremely accommodating and patient. She has made me a true believer of acupuncture. When nothing else helped my migraines, she did. I’ve referred family and friends there several times. If something is wrong with your health or you just aren’t feeling quite right, try this place!

When I first started going to Jeanette I had several problems for her to tackle. First, I have suffered from migraine headaches for over 20 years and have gone to specialists who have explained that all they can find is an allergy to MSG, natural flavoring and preservatives. I tried to modify my diet, but many products do not really give all the ingredients so it was hit and miss. Then I started with Jeanette and within about one month I started feeling relief and only an occasional migraine. Then as the treatments progressed I had fewer migraines, until now they are almost totally gone. Now I can call Jeanette and she can work with me over the phone to relieve the migraine so it will disappear quickly. The next challenge is that I have developed moderate adrenal fatigue. I have been working with specialists on this for several years and do not like the hormone pill option or the side effects from them. So I discontinued treatment. Jeanette has help keep this under control and when I am stressed and feeling fatigued I call Jeanette and she helps me work through it over the phone. I do not like taking medications for problems and if there is an alternative to medication I research it and give it a try.
Jeanette’s treatments using NMT have been more successful than any of the other options and I am very happy and satisfied and will continue to work with her.

The Wellness Studio – Lincoln Park

The Wellness Studio is absolutely incredible. My back problems have greatly improved, migraines and teeth grinding have completely disappeared and digestive issues are on the road to recovery due to the chiropractic services of Dr. Nancy Gomez and the Acupuncture of Jeanette Shuler. I cannot speak more highly of the dedication, talent, knowledge, graciousness and thoroughness of these practitioners. At the Wellness Studio I feel like Dorothy, the Tinman, the Scarecrow or Lion entering OZ. Then I get all spruced up, feel like a million bucks and walk out a new person ready to handle the aches, pains and stress the week will bring. I am sure that all the people at the Wellness Studio are fantastic because of the culture there and the quality of each person I have
encountered there. I have recommended Nancy Gomez and Jeanette Shuler to my friends and family and consider them two of the most effective healers I have ever encountered.
