@dracupinti: We are so quick to ask: “How do I get rid of this symptom?” But sometimes the better question is: Why does my body keep creating it? Your nervous system is constantly interpreting what is happening around you and deciding how your body should respond. When stress becomes chronic, the body can stay in a pattern of protection long after the immediate stressor is gone. That can influence sleep . digestion . muscle tension . pain . energy . mood and more. This is why acupuncture is about more than chasing symptoms. We are working with the nervous system. We are changing the input. We are helping the body remember that it does not have to stay on guard all the time. Sometimes the symptom is the alarm. And you’ve been treating the alarm instead of the fire. 🔥 #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #tcm #newjersey #fyp
