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.
