How Stress Can Affect Your Health
Stress is a natural response to situations that feel difficult, demanding or beyond our ability to manage. In the short term, this response can help us react to challenges. However, when stress continues for a long time, it may begin to affect both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Ongoing stress may be associated with symptoms such as:
Feeling anxious, tense or overwhelmed
Difficulty relaxing
Poor or disrupted sleep
Fatigue and low energy
Headaches or muscular tension
Digestive discomfort
Changes in appetite
Irritability or mood changes
Difficulty concentrating
Menstrual changes
A reduced sense of wellbeing
Everyone experiences stress differently. Your symptoms, lifestyle, general health and personal circumstances will all be considered when developing your individual treatment plan.
Acupuncture for Stress and Anxiety
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into carefully selected points on the body. Many people find the experience calming and use their treatment time as an opportunity to rest and unwind.
Acupuncture may support the management of certain symptoms associated with stress and anxiety by influencing the nervous system and promoting a relaxation response. Treatment is tailored to you rather than following the same approach for every person.
During your initial consultation, Julie will take time to discuss:
Your main concerns and symptoms
Your sleep, energy and emotional wellbeing
Your digestion and general health
Menstrual or hormonal changes, where relevant
Lifestyle factors that may be contributing to stress
Your personal treatment goals
Your acupuncture treatment will then be adapted according to your individual presentation and needs.
Research Supporting Acupuncture for Stress and Anxiety treatment
A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis involving 20 randomised controlled trials and 1,462 participants found that manual acupuncture reduced anxiety symptoms after treatment compared with sham acupuncture and usual care or waiting-list controls.
A 2022 double-blinded randomised clinical trial also found that participants receiving acupuncture or electroacupuncture experienced improvements across three recognised anxiety measures after five and ten treatment sessions, providing further evidence that acupuncture may support anxiety management.
