CHRONIC & ACUTE PAIN
Research has shown that acupuncture releases adenosine and endorphins, which are the body's natural pain relievers. In addition to the release of these pain reliever is also triggers the release of cytokines and decreases our levels of cortisol which reduce the amount of inflammation in the body and reduce stress. Also it helps switch our bodies out of fight or flight mode and into heal and relax mode. Let us help get you out of pain and back to doing the things you love.
STRESS, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Research is now showing that inflammation, like with many diseases and health problems, is also a contributing factor in depression. Acupuncture has an antidepressant-like effect thought to be due to anti-inflammatory mediators in the brain. Acupuncture is proven to reduce stress and restore the HPA axis. By releases the body’s “feel good” hormones (endorphins) and slowing the body’s production of stress hormones treatment can foster a state of relaxation and tranquility.

“As a veteran with multiple chronic pain issues, I was extremely excited to find a healer that worked with TriWest healthcare. Serena Shaw’s acupuncture has had tangible and lasting results so far and I plan to continue regular treatment. Her needling technique is accurate and gentle, and she is a very capable healer. I have been thrilled with the quality.”
