Insomnia / Sleep Problems

Can acupuncture help with insomnia and sleep problems?

Yes, acupuncture does a great job of helping you get restful, rejuvenating sleep.

Oriental medicine is an entire system of medicine that can help with many sleeping issues such as:

  • Insomnia sleep problemsTrouble falling asleep at night or racing mind when you should be sleeping
  • Waking up frequently and/or at the same time every night
  • Waking up and having trouble falling back asleep
  • Feeling like you are not getting deep sleep
  • Not waking rested in the morning
  • Restless sleep: tossing and turning at night
  • Night sweats
  • Vivid dreams
  • Pain when lying down
  • Frequent urination at night
  • Reduce and/or getting off of sleep medication

Acupuncture works by balancing the systems of the body – when your body is in balance it functions properly.

How long will it be before I start sleeping better?

Each case is different, some people start sleeping better the night of their first appointment.  Severe cases take longer to resolve. Either way, acupuncture accomplishes results over a series of treatments that will stabilize your system so that you will continue to sleep well.

How is the treatment schedule structured?

If you are having trouble sleeping we want to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. During your first appointment we will talk about your specific scenario to create your individual treatment plan. Usually it will involve having 2-3 treatments for one to two weeks  – then as you are sleeping better we will spread out the sessions until you are sleeping well consistently. Again, we will create a plan specifically for you that will work to stabilize your systems and bring your body into balance.

I’m taking sleeping pills, will acupuncture still be effective?

Yes, acupuncture will still be effective.  Actually, acupuncture can help to reduce your reliance on sleep medication.  You should consult with your primary care physician regarding any change in your medication or dosage – we will work as a team to ensure that you are getting the best care possible.

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.
